Finding Barefoot Advice, Expertise, Information & Support
Many experts - owners, trimmers and vets - are available to those of us who are working to restore barefoot soundness to horses online. Its a grab bag of information and we need to educate ourselves so that we understand what adice will help our horses and what can harp them, but it dows give us information and experience to vonsider.
There are three different email groups sponsored by Yahoo that offer support, information, validation and suggestions. In order to get the most value from these groups, be prepared to take pictures and x-rays and upload them to the groups Photos directories, and provide concise information related to your horses feet, environment and diet.
Most Yahoo groups have a Files
The Cushing's group (3484 members) has the highest membership and, I'm told, some of the best expertise.
The Founder group (512 members) has a different group of folks with many of the same discussions. Both focus on diet, damage control and trimming.
The Barefoot Horse Care (836 members) , is a barefoot trimming and equine management group. They have a list of trimmers available to group members here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/barefoothorsecare/database?method=reportRows&tbl=8
Many of us join multiple groups; we usually read anything pertaining to our needs from all three groups, but participate on only one or two groups. Each group has it's resident experts, and everyone is very helpful. Again, these are all free resources!! Each site has a Links page that lists many valuable resources. Reviewing some of the information and asking the members of these groups for support is the best first step.

IVIS www.ivis.org
International
Veterinary Information Service
(IVIS) is a not-for-profit
organization established to
provide information to veterinarians,
veterinary students and animal
health professionals worldwide
using Internet technology.
The IVIS website provides
free access to original, up-to-date
publications organized in
electronic books each edited
by highly qualified editors,
proceedings of veterinary
meetings, short courses, continuing
education (lecture notes,
manuals, autotutorials and
interactive websites), an
international calendar of
veterinary events and much
more with the help of private
and corporate sponsors.
Nitrate
Testing for hay
DairyOne http://www.dairyone.com/Forage/services/Forage/forage_Price_List.htm
Base fee is $6
Nitrates test is $6
Forage NIR test is $14
Wet chem minerals (for traces)
is $10
Even if you're not concerned
about sugar/starch, it's interesting
to do - oat hays have been tested
as high as 30% NSC (sugar/starch
combined). And you'll find out
if you hay is providing a good
Ca:P ratio, and if it has good
levels of protein, calories
(DE), major and trace minerals.
The"horse" section, http://www.equi-analytical.com/default.htm provides similar testing at
a slightly higher price (the
reports have more horse oriented
information and do some of the
math for you). Test 601 - Equi-Tech
$29, plus $8 for nitrates.
http://www.equi-analytical.com/InterpretingResults/Glossary.htm
Nitrates (N03) - can become
a problem when fed in high amounts.
Nitrate accumulator plants include
sorghum, sorghum sudangrass,
sudangrass, weeds and small
grain forages. Drought, frost,
fertilization and manure application
practices are factors that can
lead to high nitrate levels.
When nitrate is converted to
nitrite, it impedes the uptake
of oxygen by the blood resulting
in death due to lack of oxygen.
Blood becomes brownish in color
and exterior membranes may become
bluish in color.
http://www.agry.purdue.edu/ext/forages/Forage_issues.htm
Purdue has some interesting
info on nitrates, soil acidity,
etc (type "nitrate"
in the search box). |
Ulcerguard and Gastroguard
Are the exact same thing, only one is more expensive, and needs a prescription.
Gastroguard - is more expensive and needs a prescription.
If you get Ulcerguard, and use it as you would Gastroguard (Each "click" as a 50 lb. increment), you have Gastroguard.
Ulcerguard is sold as a "preventative" under a different name without a prescription, but with different label instructions . It's instructions are a lower dose of Gastroguard. Use each click as 50 lb. increments so you wouldn't be following the label instructions on the Ulcerguard package - you'd actually use the label instructions for Gastroguard.
Note -there is nothing describing pounds on the syringe of Ulcerguard, but the "Clicks" are there to guide you. |
