Glyphosate in Horse Feed

presuming that a significant concentration of glyphosate enters the lumen of the GI tract. I don’t see anyone advocating drinking the stuff.

No, I meant to say synthetic pathway. The shikimate pathway is just one type of synthetic pathway. The synthetic pathway that glyphosate disrupts is the shikimate pathway.

And you’re still wrong. Repeating an untruth 10 times does not make it true.

We have transitioned our sport horses to a forage based diet. I feed all the hay they can eat orchard/alfalfa and then soaked organic alfalfa cubes or pellets only from a paper packaging, they get that twice a day to mix their vitamin/mineral supplements in. For the hard keepers and horses that need extra energy I feed “Renew Gold” it has great ingredients, no glyphosate, no soy, etc.

feeding appropriate amounts of hay/grass, which is how horses should be fed, is already a forage-based diet

Renew Gold is a fat supplement with insignificant fortification.

You can feed a forage balancer with some grass hay pellets (which by default are glyphosate-free) and have better nutrition. The RG can stay for calories/fat if needed

Horses already eat a forage based diet. I have no idea what the feed being in a paper bag has to do with anything. It has been my experience that when an owner tries to make their own ration balancer they are using an inadequate combination of things.
