Highlighted Reviews
"Used this with cattle and it helps glad they made it for horses so you can give each horse by weight instead of free feed or mix in ration like the cattle. You'll notice fewer flies but it will take consistent use like anything else for a bigger reduction of pests"
"My thoroughbred won't touch the stuff, but my Percheron will eat anything, so it depends on the horse. Too bad. Thoroughbreds have such delicate skin and the Flys are non-stop, so I'll have to spend more to keep him from getting bitten by those darn biting flies."
Bottom Line
Horse owners might consider this supplement but should be aware of effectiveness concerns. It works for cattle and it is as obviously said as expected because theoretically more weight malnourishing option.
