Deworming Your Horse

Friday, April 12th, 2019

Deworming Your Horse

It is important to keep a regular schedule for deworming your horse. It protects them from harmful parasites and bacteria eggs they ingest from eating and drinking outside. The goal of deworming your horse is to reduce the number of eggs shed into their environment. These pesky problems can lead to serious health issues down the road. Each product is designed to meet the needs of your horse depending on weight, age, and body style. Stop by Kissimmee Valley Feed to pick up one of our many different horse de-wormers available!

Please give us a call at 407-957-4100 or stop by the store at 1501 Eastern Ave if you have any questions. We are happy to help!

    Cattle Water Intake: Did you know?

    Monday, March 4th, 2019

    Cattle Water IntakeBy Christina Hayes

    We focus on balancing cattle diets for energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals, but we tend to overlook water. Every physiological process involves water, and it’s requirement for cattle performance.

    Here are some quick water tips:

    • Water quality and quantity can impact feed intake. Limited access to water or low-quality water typically results in reduced intakes.
    • Water quality is affected by microbiological contaminants, nitrates, sulfates, and salinity (the amount of salt dissolved in water). Test your water quality by contacting your local extension agent for sampling instructions and information.
    • Water needs increase as temperature increases. For example, a 900-pound lactating cow only needs 14.5 gallons of water per day when it’s 60 degrees Fahrenheit, but she needs as much as 18.2 gallons per day when the temperature hits 90 degrees.
    • Cattle weight also influences water needs. As cattle gain weight, their daily water intake increases. For example, a 1,400-pound mature bull typically consumes 13.4 gallons of water per day when it’s 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but a 1600+ bull consumes just over a gallon more per day (14.5 gallons) at the same temperature.

    Summer can get busy, but for your cattle things can heat up, which makes water even more important. Ensure cattle always have access to fresh, high-quality water. Also, ensure there are enough easily accessible waterers especially when temperatures spike.
