  Discussion on Calcium:phosphorus ratio
Author Message

Posted on Monday, Apr 8, 2002 - 10:59 am:

My horse is in good weight receiving 1 quart beep pulp, 3 quarts oats, 30# timothy hay per day. If I calculate his calcium:phosphorus ratio out , it comes out about 1.6:1 not at 2:1. Do I need to add more calcium? It had been suggested to add dried evaporated skim milk but I'n not sure how much to add. Does anyone have any suggestions?
