[QUOTE="Bez, post: 90208, member: 412"] frenchie: There are a lot of folks who have fed this stuff and you and I both know it is good feed. I think you will still have to supply the hay though. Certainly a good mineral suplement as well. I just do not know anyone who has removed hay / something similar completely from the animals diet. I would suspect there will still be some requirement for the roughage - but I know you could cut it down quite a bit. Why not a test group for one winter to study the results? My animals survived on straw and some barley/oats for almost three winters, so I am sure there is a possibility here - just haven't ever given it any thought. Saskatoon, Guelph U's perhaps? CCA? Over to you, Bez Bez [/QUOTE]
