I had an old guy who was highly sensitive to soy. I found that Triple Crown Senior had the least soy, and the ingredients are kept constant. Other brands increase the amount of soy to keep price constant rather than ingredients.
Least based on what? Formulas only tell you the ingredients in descending order by weight, but you donāt know the weight/amount of each. So something that has soy as ingredient #2 doesnāt mean thereās more soy than if itās ingredient #lrk3de
Triple Crown Senior Gold only has soy hulls, not soy meal, so even taking into account the above, the total soy is likely to be less than the regular Sr, and even more likely to have far lower phytoestrogens without the meal.
Soy hulls are generally much better tolerated then the meal, for horses are soy-sensitive. But some canāt even have soy hulls.
I canāt risk soy of any kind. And, I am aware that the ration balancers also contain flax- at least, the ones that I like. I use Gro N Win here for my metabolic critters.
This is so much fun!
The different ways of the world! A hot country here and corn is known as a heating feed. We get the mental messages for boiled barley. It is very very old school. It is known for giving an apple rump and not going to their head.

My allergy boy has issues with flax, oats and cottonseed, with flax being off the charts high.
Everything premixed has flax in it.
He gets grass/alfalfa mix hay, and his āhard feedā is basically Timothy pellets and rice bran. Heās healthy and happy on this, has all his marbles and is no longer covered in hivesā¦
