A friend was able to save her 25yo EOTRH horse’s teeth when Doc T recommended she try Equident. Local vet was recommending extraction but the situation has been greatly improved. Hopefully you will experience similar results. 🤞

Ulcer meds disrupt the healthy gut microbes and make them, if I recall correctly, populate different areas of the gut than they are supposed to populate. Much better in my experience to eliminate the cause than to treat the symptom. Hopefully your mare will adjust well!

I find it a little confusing that every thing I link on I get a screen with a long list of “recent replies” instead of a list of thread titles or the message I’m opening. It would be more intuitive for me if those recent replies were at the bottom of the page or had there own page or at least were confined to only recent replies on the forum I’m using.
I’m viewing on my iPhone and it’s a LOT of scrolling to go through that long list on every click before I can get down to the content I want to view.

I called and talked to one local mill (Orangeburg Milling Company in SC) about the problem and they promised to triple wash their machines before the run for our local feed store and even started providing non-GMO. The feed store was great about working with them. But bag after bag of the non GMO had a bunch of corn and other stuff in it (I’m sure those extras weren’t non GMO) and I finally quit feeding it as why should I be paying extra when there was so much crap in it. Often more than we saw in that mill’s regular version. ($25.50 a bag of non gmo vs $18.50 for regular)
For a while another feed store was selling an organic SBM (from Reedy Fork in NC: https://reedyforkfarm.com/) for $40 or $45 a bag but the protein content was a bit suspect and the feed store didn’t know if it was dehulled. I called the Reedy Fork and spent 1/2 an hour explaining the issue and the potential market if their stuff was dehulled. The mill didn’t know if it was dehulled and promised to look into it and call me back. They never did so I never fed the stuff and the local feed store is no longer carrying it.
I’m now usually feeding Central/Southern States or OMC regular dehulled and screening stuff out but I keep hoping for a clean source through a local feed store and an online source to point folks to. Which is why I was wondering if human food grade might be an option?
