Proud SB Owner RR Governer (5967) | Nope Anlamb is fine... doesn't contain high enough amounts of lactose to be a danger to horses unless its fed at a ridiculous amount

I remember reading somewhere on here that someone had asked their vet about anlamb and apprently that's fine.
I've done a bit of research about it though and it appears you have to be feeding over a certain amount to have any il effect. |
It's sourced from cow's milk, so has lactose in it. It used to be a fairly popular thing to do (least when I was at PC), feed a cup or so of milk powder to help with condition. Worked well for some horses, and I never heard of anyone having issues with it.

Proud SB Owner RR Governer (5967) | A way cheaper alternative to Hanley Formula (which may i say is AMAZING stuff) is Anlamb Milk Replacer... has exactly the same results as Hanley's for half the price. Is the secret of many showies

A lot of quarter horses have been bred to be overly muscled - in fact some of them look freakish and no longer like a horse, more like a beef cattle with a horses head.
The best way to produce good muscle is correct feeding teamed with suitable work.
Protein is the muscle building food along with steady exercise such as trotting. The moment you go faster than trot (work) you start breaking down muscle and the horse then requires recovery time to rebuild the muscle. The reason racehorses don't race everyday they need time to recover their muscle mass. Together with suitable body cover you get the look of the well muscled horse.
Schooling the horse in a correct frame will assist in building the top line you are after.
Match the protein to the work load too so that the horse is not excreting the excess in his urine.
Muscle Max contains additional substances that optimises the utilisation of protein. Lysine an amino acid has long been known to be a requisite for protein digestion.

Evelyn RR Governer (6394) | Info from the Vetpro Site
Muscle Max is a feed supplement formulated to maximise the efficiency of muscle metabolism. It does this in two ways, by improving lean muscle mass and by reducing the effects of post exercise muscle fatigue. A large part of the daily energy requirement of the equine athlete is used by the skeletal muscles to power the contractions that give the horse its attributes of speed, endurance and strength.
The energy from feed is stockpiled in the muscles in the form of glycogen. Through a chain of biochemical reactions within the muscle cells, the glycogen is oxidised to release Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) the chemical energy source used to power the muscle cells. The oxidation process requires large amounts of oxygen, hence the need for an efficient blood supply.
The waste products from this energy burning process include water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, lactic acid and free radicals, all of which have the potential to reduce muscular efficiency. Free radicals can cause serious damage to the muscle cell membrane. It is these free radicals, in conjunction with the waste ammonia and lactic acid, that many equine sport scientists believe are responsible for muscle fatigue, post exercise muscle soreness and muscle tye-up.
Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to inactivate the free radicals within the cell. There are many nutritional antioxidants, mostly found in plants. Muscle-Max is an antioxidant supplement that contains rice-bran oil. Rice bran oil is a rich source of glycerides, free fatty acids, phospholipids and glycolipids. Its principle antioxidants are the tocopherals, tocotrienols and gamma oryzanol, as well as inositol, phytic acid and choline. Vitamin E is one of the Tocopherols found in Muscle-Max, but it is the tocotrienols that are 50 times more potent than Vitamin E, that makes rice bran oil such a potent antioxidant formulation.
Besides being an antioxidant, gamma oryzanol is a plant sterol, giving it anabolic properties. Studies in which gamma oryzanol supplements were included in diets of both human and equine athletes over a 6-8 week period resulted in improved muscle to fat ratios, along with improved appetite.
Muscle-Max also contains chromium picolinate. Chromium is not an antioxidant, but it does play an important role in increasing muscle energy utilization, while at the same time lowering blood lactic acid levels during exercise. Recent research in the USA has shown that racehorses in full training supplemented daily with 5mgs of organic chromium had 13% lower blood lactate levels after intense exercise than the control horses used in the studies. Studies with human athletes have shown that daily supplementation with organic chromium increases muscle gain and reduces body fat more than physical exercise alone.
In summary Muscle-Max combines the antioxidant and anabolic properties of rice bran oil and along with chromium picolinate helps to reduce muscle fatigue and post exercise muscle damage. It alsto create muscle gain and a reduction in body fat. It is a 100% natural product that can be used right up to and during competition. It is formulated with an apple flavour that horses find palatable.

Volante RR Addict (4687) | Muscle max is just rice bran and chromium. You have to feed heaps to make it work tho

Lollie RR Vice President (26088) | As long as they've got enough condition on and they're being worked correctly they should muscle up pretty well pretty quickly anyway

Breeding counts for a lot. Some of the freakishly huge halter horses have a genetic disorder called HYPP. The massive muscling is a side effect and has been purposefully bred for.

imstayc RR Addict (2826) | Aww so cheap and sounds good! The horse I was looking for muscle-building stuff for has been sold (I was having him on lease), but have bookmarked this page for the next one

Have been using the Hanley fomulae for a month or so now with great results - finally something that works that doesn't cost the earth |
I'm interested to know the breakdown of cost per day/horse, if you know? |
Using the recommended dose of 100gm a day. The 20kg bag for $185 works out at $0.93 a day
