Many horse owners have been frightened into putting their horses into dry lots, keeping them off grass and feeding expensive, ‘specially formulated’ feeds and supplements to ‘manage’ their horses’ dis-eases. From arthritis to Cushings to EMS and IR, COPD, Allergies, Ulcers, HOOF ISSUES, and more …
Over the years I have had veterinarians, trainers, owners, professionals tell me that I was killing my horses and my clients horses by advocating for, recommending and feeding a raw organic “Salad” diet to the horses. Even telling me/us that the improvement in their horses’ health was a “Placebo” effect!
HOW RIDICULOUS!
And, as I’ve been harping on ORGANIC foods, for both horses AND humans (and other critters, too), I’ve gotten poo-poo’d and ridiculed and called names, even.
I’ve SEEN the results of the WHOLE HEALTH FOR THE WHOLE HORSE diet in my own horses AND in my clients’ horses!
It’s NOT a ‘placebo’ effect any more than the moon is made of swiss cheese.
It’s real.
And here’s WHY … MUST WATCH!!!
EPA limits for glyphosate residues as published in the Federal Register.
180.364 Glyphosate tolerances for residues.
(a) General. (1) Tolerances are established for residues of glyphosate, including its metabolites and degradates, in or on the commodities listed below resulting from the application of glyphosate, the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, the ethanolamine salt of glyphosate, the dimethylamine salt of glyphosate, the ammonium salt of glyphosate, and the potassium salt of glyphosate. Compliance with the following tolerance levels is to be determined by measuring only glyphosate ( N- (phosphonomethyl)glycine).
