Has anyone had any experience with this product. Am thinking of trying it for OTTB that won't eat?

[Jessi P]

Excellent stuff. Period.

your OTTB probably has ulcers.. Cure that and he will eat that just fine

That should take care of the front end of the gut but does nothing for the large intestine. I've read that brewers yeast helps with hind gut ulcers but the trick is to get them to eat it..

Might want to try Kombat Boots and see if it helps. Also, I believe panacur in suspension helps with front end ulcers as well as round worms.

By the way, I believe ulcerguard is nothing but Omeprozole which cost about 1/3 what you are spending on the generic.

Soak the feed in Guinness Stout two or three times a week. A twelve pack is about $20, I think. (Personally, I'm a Coors drinker.) The horses love the taste and it insures the brewers yeast gets into the system. If you think about it, Griff, you could have a paddock social and invite your friends and their horses.

My friend, who is a farrier in KY, told me some of the farms give Guisness Stout to the broodmares in their last trimester. Anyone else heard or know of this?? What is the benefit?

brewers yeast is suppose to help with hind end ulcers..

Don't know what they would give guiness to broodmares except brewers yeast is suppose to be good for horses and @ $20.00 a six pack might be cheaper than Kombat Boots
