The OPs Purina Ultrium Gastric Care also has a lot of calories she says. I suppose it must have more calories since it is for 'performance' horses. Then I noticed the feed my trainer had Arago on also has Outlast in it- Impact Professional Performance. The OP found a Purina feed that has Outlast in it. So anyway, I wish to transition him to more of a long term preventative. It is not like paste wormer where you have to get the whole tube in there. Horse feeds and additives that are supposed to help ulcers-I have finished giving my hard keeper Nervous Nelly 8 doses of Ulcerguard, the medicine Omeprazole while he settles into his forever home.īy the way, Ulcerguard is such a small daily dose of paste I found I can easily put it on my finger and just stick it in his mouth. Out of curiosity, are you feeding the purple bag Ultium with outlast in it or are you feeding that one in the Blue bag I have seen too? Or a different one I haven’t seen? I know there are a few types of Ultium. I have heard that about the labels before, but I had forgotten it until you mentioned it just now. If you can sell me on a $50 feed coming from not feeding grain at all, you were pretty convincing! That was a major selling point to me despite it being $50 a bag. does the website claim the food to be oh so amazing but doesn’t explain why as if it is some miracle feed… or does it give scientific explanations of what makes it so good? I have noticed that Purina’s horse feeds do this even on the back of the bag, they are not just proclaiming some miracle feed but instead explain how and why it is good. On these feeds I have found it may be ideal to look at How it is being advertised on the website. Yes, I have found that out about Purina just recently hearing about other horse feeds they produce, and although I am not the most knowledgeable about horse nutrition, I do feel I’m able to tell when someone is just trying to sell me something versus when a product is actually good. It smells good, looks consistent and nice in appearance and never found it dusty nor "bad".my store now brings in 30+ bags more a week as so many have discovered this product and the favorable things it provides to our equine friends.įor me, I know what day is the delivery and I place my p/u order that evening so when I go to the store there is my bags set aside ready for me cause to many times they were sold out.hence I learned you can special order from the customer service desk. Ultium is calorie rich at nearly 1900 calories per pound, so weight gain is very real a possibility.Ī secret to having a stable recipe and nutrient values is a printed on the bag label not a sewn in label.this feed offers that printed label on the bag.Ī recipe that offers high calories, proper nutrients when fed according to bag directions, high fat, high fiber and a 17% combined max NSC is packaged as a tasty product to eat. I do feed Ultium because of what it offers my horse that he "needs" requires.□ Maverick’s muscle tone is looking good too.Ĭontrary to some opinions.Purina is not a garbage feed company and Ultium is probably one of the nicest feeds on the market today. Could just be the shedding instead but their coats look very nice right now and Pistol is looking very healthy muscle-wise despite limited exercise too. I have been giving a very small amount to Dixie and Pistol. (I am not sure if providing a link counts as free advertising so I will just let y’all do a google search, lol.) It also has yeast extract, that’s supposed to be good for the gut too I would think right? I will post pictures of the bag and what the feed looks like so if folks want to look it up, they know what to look for. I will explain what the gastric care thing is all about- It’s meant to balance the PH of their gut as it’s got Purina Outlast supplement in it. However I don’t know the most about nutrition, and want to learn more, so that’s why I am making this post, to point me in the right direction, and I figured I would start with this. He can’t have a lot of sugar or his feet go “time to blow up with abscesses! I love self destructing!” lol. I do know it’s low sugar, and I like that about it. As for making sure it doesn’t cause him to gain weight, I am exercising him much more. It hasn’t totally cleared up Mav’s bottom troubles but one must remember he isn’t on a full dose, and it has made it more manageable for sure. I must say, I feel pretty happy with it so far. He has been on less than half the amount for his body weight and workload (because he’s an easy keeper and this is high calorie- I would have liked to just get the Outlast supplement but go figure, my local Tractor Supply store doesn’t have that) up until yesterday (when I started giving a bit more). I have been trying this stuff to see if it will help with Mav’s Poopy Butt.
