Uckele Tri Amino Horse Supplement – Equine Vitamin & Mineral Supplement – 5 Pound (lb)

Great for underweight horses needing top line. Caution east keepers
This shouldn’t be fed if on pasture or short rich grass. The high protein in this can make them insulin resistant and founder.If they’re on hay only and need top line or weight this is fantastic.If they’re over 4/4.5 ( good condition)on the Henneke scale they don’t need it.My easy keeper IR cresty gelding I believe adding this tipped him over the edge and he suffered some laminitic flare ups.remember if the crest is hard so is the digital cushion inside the hoof, they are very similar tissue. So ALWAYS monitor crests and never feed this if crest is the least bit hard, they’re on green grass ( lots of protein already) or they don’t need top line. Otherwise it’s basically a protein/insulin OD resulting in painful founder, swelling, tender feet, puffy eyes etc.For hard keepers, thin or emaciated horses, horses in hard training or need top line filled in on hay this is great stuff. I mix it with beet pulp, hay pellets or senior depending on the needs of animal . Add water and feed in these tubs so they eat it. Most will after a few days of gradually adding it starting with just a pinch to a tsp to a TB to half scoop etc.I’ve had 2 rehabs come in recently a terribly foundered 10 yo pony with P3 poking into and through her soles scheduled for euthanasia. Probably a 6-6.5 on Henneke scale, only a tiny bit cresty. She was muzzled with a blocker and cut waaaay back in protein and diet addressed and hooves trimmed waaaay back so they could grow in correctly and put in a very minimal diet to lower her insulin level and get her to a 4 on the Henneke scale. After a few weeks we added this to her hay pellets and it helped bring her into condition and grow in beautiful coat, thicker tail and lovely strong hooves. Within 4 weeks we could ride her in a fluffy soft ring happily, 4 months her hooves were grown in through the heel and she was sound barefoot on soft ground ( riding ring, grass pasture etc) in 6 months jumping and teaching kids again.2nd case was a starved miniature donkey, skin and bones. Maybe a 1.2 on the Henneke scale. She would exhaust herself even chewing a few handfuls of grain or 1/4 lap and trying to digest food and have to rest. It was so sad.A few more days and she’d have been a downer. Wormed her and add Half scoop of Tri aminos to 1lb senior feed she can take a half hour to finish and free choice hay and in 3 days she had more energy, 3 weeks there is a little meat over her ribs and below her back bone. Maybe a 2-2.5 on the scale and she’s eating in normal time now.. By 3 months I think she’ll be a good weight. I’ve rehabbed well over a hundred horses and Tri aminos speeds up the top line and muscle building capabilities to grain. However I caution again about feeding it to easy keepers or horses in good weight. The protein in it can cause an insulin flare up and founder. Feed to horses that need weight, are under muscles, on hay or dry forage only or in heavy work. Not the fat companion horse grazing in your backyard.

Great Product
I started my horse on this amino product after 3 months of purchasing him. I have him on a low protein diet – valley grass hay, no grain and good pasture in summer. Within 3 weeks he had noticeable difference in his muscles, top line butt and neck and put some weight on with out becoming fat. The neighbors who are not horse people commented after just those few short weeks that my horse was looking way better! Tri Amino helps maintain strong muscles, healthy weight, and supports a healthy topline with the three most essential amino acids. Lysine aids in bone health and immune function. Methionine plays a role in the synthesis of structural proteins, especially hooves and connective tissues, and hair and mane coat. Threonine aids in normal immune and digestive functions, as well as supporting muscle mass. l continue to feed this as it has made a huge difference.

A good product, helps to build up muscle with correct work. Seems to slow muscle loss from rest.
Our 19 year old warmblood had lymphangitis early this year and she was always a bit skinny and she lost muscle noticeably during the 3 weeks off (we started with light lunging after that as advised by vet). I started feeding this to see if it would help her build up her muscle together with the regular schooling by our experienced instructor. She improved noticeably and she had more muscle than before she had her health issue. She had a couple weeks off again recently due to another episode of lymphangitis and she seemed to keep her topline and shape better. It’s a chalky dust appearance. I only wish it was a bit cheaper or came with prime shipping!

Great Supplement at a Great Price
This is an excellent choice for horses needing more topline, PSSM2 horses, or horses that have sore muscles. My horses eat it right up in their soaked beet pulp. If your horse is on grain/feed, be careful that you don’t overfeed some amino acids, as it can raise blood sugar if your horse is receiving high levels of excess protein, which could ultimately lead to insulin resistance.
