If your horse has the desired weight you can slowly replace each amount of your previous feed, with half that amount of Crypto Aero. You should transition your horse over a weeks time frame.
Insulin resistant horses can have 1 standard measuring cup twice daily (half that for ponies). Cushing's horses without Insulin Resistance can have up to twice that amount. These horses also greatly benefit from kelp as it stimulates their often sluggish thyroid. You can feed a total of 1 tablespoon daily and half that for ponies. Most importantly, those horses should not receive any supplemental iron (ferrous, ferric anything), or selenium, soy products, corn products, wheat, beet pulp, distillers dried grains and/or solubles, or glucosamine products. They are best fed a straight first cut timothy or another lower-calorie hay. Please ensure these horses, like all horses, have 24/7 access to forage. You may also want to detox their liver, especially if they have been fed an iron-fortified diet. When you consider vaccinating a metabolically challenged horse, please inform your licensed veterinarian that your horse is insulin resistant and/or cushinoid, as those conditions can increase the incidence of negative side effects of vaccinations.
Please do not feed any beet pulp, soy, corn, distillers dried grain, wheat, wheat middlings, iron or its derivatives (anything ferric, ferrous), or synthetic vitamins with Crypto Aero. You are providing your horse with the cleanest horse feed available, hence it is best to only feed it with other non-GMO products and real food.
Crypto Aero is a complete feed when fed with quality forage and when unrefined salt is offered with it. If your horse needs extra calories due to special circumstances or rigorous exercise, you may add additional whole oats, ground flax, sunflower seeds, hay pellets, rice bran oil, chia seeds, or any Real Food, that is not GMO and not wheat, corn, or soy derived.
No. The feed mill where Crypto Aero is made does not use any feed additives such as monensin, rumensin, paylene or others, that could be harmful to horses. Crypto Aero is made in a separate mixer and no other feed ever runs through that same mixer and bagger. All ingredients are stored in a storage room dedicated to Crypto Aero.
As long as your horse has good dentition, yes! It is normal to see a few undigested oats in the beginning as your horse may be excited and may not chew them well enough. Over time, you will see less and less of them and eventually just a few empty husks will appear in the manure. If you continue to see undigested oats, you may want to check your horse's dentition and check with a qualified veterinarian.
Minerals are best provided free-choice such as with a Redmond or Himalayan salt lick, or loose salt. Grey sea salt is also very beneficial for horses. You can also offer kelp free choice.
If your horse has a healthy digestive system and no history of colic or frequent diarrhea, then you do not. The brewer's yeast in this feed will help your horse grow its own healthy gut bacteria. Fruits and vegetables have natural digestive enzymes.
The ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 is 1:10. Hay and especially grass are high in Omega 3. If you would like to add some Omega 3s, please choose chia seeds. When we look at the inflammatory load of a feed, there is more to consider than the omega 3:6 ratio. Crypto is full of anti-inflammatory ingredients.
It depends on a few factors such as how much and what quality hay is fed, whether your horse is an easy or hard keeper and how much does it work on a daily basis. If your horse has the desired weight and energy level, then you should start with about half the amount of what you are feeding now. If you would like to see some weight gain, you can start at the same amount and then reduce once the desired weight is reached. You should never need to feed more than 6 lbs per day. If your horse is not keeping weight with excellent forage and 6lbs of Crypto per day, then there might be other issues and you might want to get your horse checked. Easy keepers, Cushing's and IR horses should receive 1-2 standard measuring cup twice daily. Ponies should thrive on 1/2 lb per day (one standard measuring cup) Always watch your horse closely for weight gain and reduce the amount fed accordingly.
I buy this feed because it does appear very natural and healthy. My horse loves it! Mostly I am old with arthritis and I cannot lift 40 or 50 lb bags. Lighter bags is an absolute requirement for my body.
This grain is great quality and horses ate it but really not worth the price. The bags are tiny and for 2 horses 2 bags last about a week. Was really disappointed the bags were half full as well. Local feed mill could make something similar at half the price. If the price came down for the size of the bag would reconsidering getting it.
Bag says it weighs 25 pounds yet when I weighed it I only had 12.5 pounds in it. Not only did the feed mill not catch this but Chewy didn’t either so not happy about at all. Makes me wonder what else the feed mill doesn’t catch before sending it out.
We have fed crypto aero for years to our horses. My horses love it and come running in off of green pasture when I call them. They have beautiful, shiny coats,!healthy hooves and full manes and tails. I recommend this to all my horsey friends.
My local feed Mill stopped making their own and went with the huge suppliers, and I wanted something that had more natural ingredients. I don't feed much, only as a way to interact and give meds, but my animals love this feed.
Love this food! My horse can’t get enough of it. Good coat looks fabulous. He is a senior and helps keep good weight up.
Nice product. But no one at company will answer my emails or calls as I have questions about their ingredients. It’s TOO EXPENSIVE!
Switched over to this after comparing it to my current grain in terms of sugars and etc. While I think it looks absolutely beautiful and yummy; and my horse had no issues switching over to it from a molasses style grain. After fully switching over I am seeing a lot of undigested oats (and I checked to make sure it wasn’t just empty hulls I was seeing) and sunflower seeds that are still whole in her manure. I think that the premise of this feed is great and may use it as a top dressing. However I will be canceling my auto order of this and going back to my old feed.
Our local feed store used to carry Crypto Aero and sold the 40 lb bags rather than 25 lb and the price was not that much higher. I really wish Chewy would carry that size! 25 lbs only lasts 8 days for the horse I feed it to which is tough for my wallet to swallow as we end up paying a premium per pound for less feed. I can pour one of the 25 lb bags into the other. Other than the small size at a premium price, this is a wonderful whole food feed that makes a great base.
Waste of money in my opinion it didn’t last long since I fed the recommended amount and didn’t see a difference for the price I would of like maybe a 50lb bag instead of the small bag
