How much marmite should horses have in their feeds?

Not a helpful comment..but even the smell of it makes me gag!! I would have to have someone else to my feeds!!

You either love it or hate it huh!!
:D

We gave Phoenix about a tea spoon full - not sure if that is the RDA though ;)

[Rowena]

I have never heard about giving Marmite to horses. :confused:
Just to check, we are talking about the veg/salt flavored thick-black-spread, right?

Please explain...

[dophi_arno]

Vegemite's the real deal!
Never heard of anyone putting it in horse feeds though, what's the benefit?
If anyone is game you should try vegemite pancakes, very yummy!

Ive heard a spoon full of marmite or veggimite in there feed can help repel flies in the summer:)or you could always smear a small amount on a slice of bread.
Was told about this by someone who's horse had sweetich

Ours go mad for marmite, we dip the end of a carrot or piece of apple in it.Not sure about the RDA either.
Apparently, helps to keep flies away, also just thinking about it, its very salty - maybe thats why they like it ?

I loves it. I eat it out the jar like nutella:eek: :eek: - don't get bitten by flies in the summer!! Also use it to coat tablets in for doggies and they lap them up!:D

[l7oopys]

I feed it.

Just dip the end of a carrot in the jar and feed a dollop, about a tea spoon full, Maybe a bit more!

[rianne21]

ooo an idea has come to me...can some people take piccies of their horses marmite chops the next time they feed them! :D so i can see as i don't have a horse to try it on :( no fair :o

lol vegemite/marmite pancakes..:eek: yukky! i like marmite but hardly any of it on toast!
and as for eating it straght out of a jar :eek: eugh! lol way too much for me to handle! ;)

[coss]

have not tried on my horses but my mum eats loads of marmite and the midges love her :o

[iloveshearer]

I can understand why it keeps the flys away! :eek:

[Joyscarer]

I'm not risking parting with my Marmite is it might not work :eek:

[jovi_y2k2]

It's meant to be because its full of B vitamins, thats what the flies hate, I cant stand marmite but started taking B vits last year because I was getting horrendous bites when i was at the yard and hey presto the little blighters stopped biting me!

[Laura+Phantom]

Mmm, so saphy could have garlic AND marmite breath, the flies will definately stay away! I like it, but in small doses :) Might try that on madam.
