Hi Dr T,

I’ve had my 3 horses on the no grain diet for some time now and am happy with the results. My horse with ‘Sweet Itch’ no longer requires 24 hour rugging, spraying and is a much happier horse and my horse with anhidrosis – sweats. Recently I’ve leased out my anhidrosis horse to my good friend who has asked if she can replace the SBM with microlupins. I’ve declined and she’s agreed to it but has asked if I can find out whether microplupins is acceptable on the diet. I’ve had no experience with microplupins and on googling this feed, some websites advise microlupins are legume seeds where other research indicate it is a grain. Checking the alfalfa pellets bag I discovered there is lupins in the alfalfa pellets. Are lupins an alternative to soy bean meal which here in the Northern Territory (Australia) we sometimes find SBM hard to get?

Thank you for the welcome Dr T. My apologies for the very late response. I’ve been away interstate in New South Wales buying my ‘dream’ horse who will allow my elderly much loved ASH to eventually step back a bit and enjoy semi retirement once the young gelding is able to be safely taken to riding clinics and events.

Now that I’m back and settling into normal routine I’ll be a more frequent visitor.

Cheers

Chrissy
