FeedXL

This is awesome, THANK YOU! I just used the cost feature for the first time, and it is PERFECT!!!!!

I tell everybody about FeedXl. Absolutely worth every penny!

Terrific website, love the info, thanks for the quick reply!

I want to thank you. I was told to simplify my horses' diet. That he would likely get what vitamins he needs from his forage. I discovered through FeedXL that that was incorrect and likely the cause of additional problems. His diet is now balanced and I'm hoping it helps him to improve.

Two things I found out that I did not realize: 1) Vitamin Bs and folic acid assist with correct digestion; and 2) iodine assists the thyroid. Getting weight off this horse has been an ongoing battle for years. He is now losing weight with increased iodine. Finally!

Thank you very much! While my horse is not a grand champion or anything, he's worth a billion dollars to me; he's the perfect horse and steals everyone's heart. I just want to thank you, I truly appreciate the work you all put into this!

Thanks so much- I shall go back and re-do my horses' diets. The feedxl diet is GREAT !

This is a wonderful tool you are creating - I'm learning lots!

I love this idea that you guys are doing. I have agonized over converting IU to mg ad infinitum trying to know if my horse is getting what she needs. I am curious how you guys are doing this (figuring this all out!), but am also very grateful!

Every time I did a report then went back stuff was magically appearing. I was thinking "Damn they are good!"

Thank you very much! This is such an amazing program, I am just in awe!

Thanks! This is the coolest site. It would be even cooler if it recommended products that might round out the nutritional needs - specifically the vitamins and minerals. I need to figure out if there is a substitute or if I should be adding an additional supplement to improve their B1.

FeedXL says: FeedXL currently provides guidance on how to improve nutrients that are showing as deficient but doesn't recommend specific commercial products.

This program is so wonderful. I am playing around with ingredients and realize that so much of what I am feeding maybe makes me feel like I am doing something but is really not doing anything for the horse. I can really simplify my horsesÕ diets and save hundreds of $ a year and the horse should not suffer.

I must commend your help desk on being extremely quick to respond to issues. The best service response time I've ever seen. I'm happy to see how much the program has expanded to include most of the feeds and supplements that are commonly used.

Have been meaning to tell you that the horses are looking great. Rex's coat particularly since I have had him on the balanced diet looks amazing, not bad for a 30 year old!

I used the FeedXL and found that I was killing my horses with an overdose of Vitamin A... no wonder their skin was falling off! If I hadn't tried FeedXL , I would have been none the wiser. I did wonder why my horse's skin was so bad.

FeedXL discovered my problem..thankfully as I was about to increase the dosage of the coat supplement. I still can't believe I was about to increase the Vitamin A levels with the coat supplement as I thought my horses were lacking in vitamins..hence the dry flaking skin. I think most owners would think their horse needs "something" more to get it glossy.

I also take this opportunity to congratulate you on the new FeedXL program - I now use it all the time and find it so easy and quick to formulate or check a ration. I thought that I was pretty whippy using Equilize which I really like, but FeedXL is so much better to use and find feeds etc and quickly balance rations.

You and the FeedXL team have created a truly user-friendly, accurate and information loaded tool for horse owners- you have to be congratulated!

I have really enjoyed using your program. I was in quite a dilemma over my feed program before I found FeedXL. I had moved back to Australia from the US and with all the tropical grasses and big head and soil deficiencies I didn't know what I was doing and seemed every one I talked to had a different idea. I had a mare in late gestation and was concerned. Now all the guess work has been eliminated and I can rest assured my horses are being fed a nutritionally balanced diet, the foal is now 2 months old and looks fantastic and so does the mare. Thanks for a great program, keep up the good work.

P.S....The only person who may not be to happy with this program would be my feed store man, because I only spend half of what I used to before FeedXL.

We operate a professional breaking and training business and as such handle young foals and weanlings, two year olds and everything right through to older campaigned show horses. We currently vary our feed accordingly however FeedXL has been an excellent tool for us to ensure all the horses in our care are receiving adequate nutrition to suit their needs. FeedXL is a useful and valuable tool for any horse business.

I have just signed up for the 12 months. Yay! I also wanted to comment on how helpful and reliable your service is. I have been nothing short of impressed by the whole program, as well as your company's ability to really listen to customers, implement changes and to answer questions accurately and promptly. I must admit that it is very refreshing! Keep up the good work.

I'm unable to express in words quite how helpful & beneficial I've found this software program. Simplicity, professionalism, almost instantaneous answers to queries & the bonus of forums in which users can bounce around ideas, all contribute to making this an essential tool for any professional business.

I have only just got into horses in the last few years, myself and my OH have a young palomino QH. We have used feedxl to cut our feed costs down by about $30 a week.

Now the horse is talked about at competitions for how elegant and beautiful he is and what a talented dressage horse he is rather than for what a fat stumpy-legged waddling excuse for a dressage horse. Extreme thanks to Nerida and all the crew.

FeedXL is the most accurate and easy system to use. It's an excellent guide to what's in your horse's feed and whether its real needs are being satisfied. People with whom I work who are using FeedXL have saved money on feed costs and they have been very happy with the results; it pays for itself.

I *thought* my diet was pretty good, and it was OK. But I've come to realise how much some of the supplements really don't live up to their reputation or marketing, and how some feeds really do not contain much of anything!

I'm having a blast!!! And saving money!!!

Kylie

Feed cost and less wastage was one of the reasons I started to use Equilize. We use a set of hanging scales and weigh our feeds. This has made an amazing difference to the amount of feed I was using. We first weighed what we used to feed them and then weighed from the program....WOW! We were sending a lot of feed through them that wasnt needed.

We now spend less on feed and the horses are healthier for it!

This program is going to be an absolute corker!!!

Well, I have had my daughter's pony officially diagnosed with Cushing's last week. Without this program I probably would still be fumbling my way through the minefield of suitable feeds.

Michelle Maybury

Update from Michelle 3 months later:

It's official, woohoo, my daughter's pony made it through xmas and is doing really well. He is eating like a pig and has gained the appropriate amount of weight. We were unsure that he would make it through.He is now well enough to start earning his keep.

Last year was a horrid year trying to keep him alive and I never want to go down that road again. I know eventually his cushings will catch up with him and the inevitable will have to be done but for now we are just enjoying having him back with us.

I have a yearling Percheron X TB. He was born valentines day and as a result named Casanova. We call him Cass. When he arrived in March this year I was greeted by this pathetic excuse for a yearling. He looked like an underweight sickly weaner. The photos here do NOT do justice to how underweight and small he was!

I was however, lucky enough to have Neridas' help with his diet, and advice on what he needed to recover. Now I have this brilliant program Feedxl, I can be sure he's getting everything he needs as he grows and changes. I know if I didn't have help with his diet, I would've been feeding him three times as much and getting half the results.

I think I am in love....with your program.... this is heaven! Oh thankyou...... as if I need yet another horse site to be spending time on!!!!....but at least this one is worthwhile!

I'm going to renew my subscription to a yearly. I found it brilliant for working out a feeding plan for my old cushings horse. It's also fun as well, so I'm now a convert. I've never liked using pre-mixed feeds, but always worried that my horses were missing out. I now have the solution!!!!

Michelle Le Grew

Update from Michelle: My old cushings horse Ossie is going very well, he is bright and happy, and his coat is gleaming. Thanks to FeedXL It is so easy now to know what I can feed him, and I am happy in the knowledge that he is getting all his nutritional needs met. My feed bill is much cheaper as well.

Again, many thanks for all your help so far - especially the program, it's so extensive & if dummies like me find it user friendly, it must be simple.

If I didn't have FeedXL, which is heaps better than Equalize I would still be in no mans land wondering whether I was feeding them the right thing and probably over feeding, rather than feeding them the right amounts, which I do now.

Melanie Paterson

If you're not feeding them via FeedXL - then you're simply not giving them what they deserve.

Tony Laurent

Thanks to FeedXL I've been able to save $30 a week so far, doing the diets for all my horses that are fed a particular product. I found it makes little difference to their overall diet if I include this feed or delete it, all their levels are in the green without it, makes me a very happy horsey mum, thank you guys, this program is fabulous and of course I've told all my horsey friends about it so hopefully they'll be able to gain the same benefits as all of us.

Clarissa Griggs

What a brilliant, easy to use program. WOW!

Caroline Rutten

I have a HUGE complaint about Feed XL. I spend hours in front of the computer making up diets for my horses because it is such a great programme to play with. Trouble is, I don't get around to riding my horses, so I have to keep changing their work level !!! Just kidding, well done guys, Feed XL is terrific. I am now using one commercial feed for my four horses who have very different requirements and have halved my feed costs. Thanks heaps

I have been using FeedXL for about 6 months and will definitely keep using it! FeedXL gives me the confidence that my horses get exactly what they need and as this software gives me the option to even put in my own horse feeds, FeedXL is as acurate as a horse diet can get. This software is worth every single cent and my horses have never looked better.

Katrin Renz

When I started looking around FeedXL, it very quickly exceeded all my expectations. It's an absolutely fabulous programme, with such an extensive database of product and nutritional information, hints and tips, and warnings when you are selecting the wrong kind of feed etc. The forums are wonderful too.
