[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1757444, member: 17524"] What you are seeing could be undigested feed. That will make them pot-bellied. It's hard for anything to digest dried up feed, especially young animals. Protein should help, but it will take awhile and keep feeding them the best forage you have in the meantime. They need the best, because they aren't practiced at converting forage very well at this age (they don't have the rumen size a cow has) and be sure to deworm them, specifically with Safeguard. It will get rid of more worms than any avermectin product will. And, good luck. [/QUOTE]
