MwH 093: Dr. Jyme Nichols - Low Starch Feed, Hind Gut, Micronutrients, Insulin Resistance and MORE

On this episode of the podcast we talk with our favorite Equine Nutrition Expert, Dr. Jyme Nichols of Bluebonnet Feeds. We LOVE having Jyme on and diving deep into the science of horse nutrition and all that it entails. On THIS episode we began by discussing the 21-Day Hind Gut program. We then go into A LOT of detail on Low-Starch Feeds and trend in the horse world moving that direction. We discuss what “low-starch” actually means, what is actually in the feed, why it’s needed and important, and SO many other things. We then answer a lot of questions from our listeners on social media including questions regarding micronutrients like zinc and copper in horse feed, nutrition’s role on hoof and coat care, insulin resistance, using soy products in feed, natural ulcer cures, and MORE.
