Equine Hydration, Keep Your Horse Happy and Hydrated!

/in /by

Horses require ample water intake, with an average of up to 10 gallons per day, increasing for active horses and in hot conditions.  Keeping your trusty steed hydrated can be a tall order, but hey, water is the real MVP here! Just having water around is not the end game; sparkling clean water is the real deal. Horses turn their noses up at anything less, and who can blame them? Clean water equals happy, healthy horses. So, time to roll up those sleeves and give those buckets and troughs a spa day!  Especially during the hot weather, cleaning buckets daily will help algae, hard water stains and of course the general horsey mess (gotta love those hay dunkers 🙂 ) like hay and grain bits at bay. After a good scrubbing rinse, your bucket is ready to fill! Those big water troughs can be a little more time consuming, but again, a fresh and clean supply of water makes for a healthy and happy horse!  If you find yourself in a cleaning pickle and need a deep scrub session, fear not! A splash of dish soap will do wonders, just give it a couple of extra rinses. For those stubborn spots, a smidge of bleach (a mix of 9 parts water to 1 part bleach) will save the day. Let it work its magic for the suggested time, then rinse like there’s no tomorrow until it’s squeaky clean and bleach-free.  In the world of horse hydration, it’s not just about the H2O, folks! Sprinkle some free-choice salt in the mix to keep your trusty steed feeling refreshed and fabulous. But hey, let’s face it, some or our equine friends may need an extra nudge to beat the heat and keep their cool during these scorching days ahead. Enter stage left: our magical solution available at Burns Feed Store!

Terrafibre Hemp Animal Bedding

/in /by

Ladies and gentlemen, drumroll please! Introducing the one and only Terrafibre Hemp Bedding, now strutting its stuff at Burns Feed Store! This magical bedding is a game-changer for all your furry pals, be it majestic horses or tiny rodents. It’s like a superhero cape – super absorbent, feather-light, and a master at banishing messes and funky smells. Say hello to a cozy, pristine, and snug living space for your beloved critters!

 

 

Absorbs 4x Its Own Weight

Hemp is 75% cellulose and a natural absorbent—the perfect material to keep your animal dry and happy. Yes, that’s right—four times its weight, compared to 2X for wood and paper products. This means you need to clean and change bedding less often.

Reduces Odors

When hemp bedding is used, urine goes straight to the bottom, keeping the surface clean and dry. Odors become trapped under the surface, reducing ammonia and other odors much better than wood chips or sawdust. Reducing odor helps control flies and makes a more pleasing environment for you and your animals. Perfect for a barn full of horse stalls or your backyard chicken coop!

Low Dust Means Improved Air Quality

Dust compromises the quality of air for your animal and can easily lead to breathing complications. Hemp bedding offers a low-dust environment, which is crucial for your animals’ health. It has air pockets and excellent heat retention properties compared to sawdust or pine shavings.

Biodegradable = Better for Animals and the Planet

Hemp bedding degrades faster than most animal care products such as wood shavings and sawdust. Perfect for your garden compost. Support sustainable farming practices and help create a larger demand for Hemp. The earth and economy will thank you for it.

Flea Control For Your Dog and Cat

/in , /by

Fleas can be one of the most annoying aspects of owning a pet. They can aggravate both you and your pet – dog fleas and cat fleas can and will bite people as well, and flea bites can become itchy and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, there are a number of ways to deal with the fleas, both preventative measures to help keep the flea population at bay, as well as ways to combat the population that may already exist.
The first product to help with fleas, and arguably the most important, is to keep up to date on “monthly”, continuous treatments. You can use a topical drop like Advantage, Adventure Plus, Frontline or ZoGuard. You can also use a flea collar like Seresto.


It is important to know how these products work. Once they are put on, the chemicals from the product are dispersed over the body through the natural oils on your pets’ skin. Once a flea gets on your pet, they come in contact with the product and they are killed. These products will also kill flea larvae and flea eggs.
Lastly, you can use a monthly ingestible option. Burns Feed Store carries CapShield Maxx which is a pill you can give monthly that will kill fleas within 30 minutes, then an IGR (insect growth regulator) will stay in the bloodstream of the dog for 30 days and will control the fleas for the rest of the month. After the first day, any new flea to land on the dog and takes a blood feed will not fully reproduce, thus ENDING THE FLEA LIFE-CYCLE.
These are all products that will do a good job of protecting your pets from fleas on a consistent basis.
With that said, sometimes more steps need to be taken to get control of the flea population. The flea drops and collars work well, but if the flea population is large, fleas will continue to get on your pets and will be able to bite before the chemicals kill them. Luckily, there are other products that can be used to help kill the fleas and their larvae and eggs before they get onto your animals.
Some of those products include foggers, to be used inside specific rooms of a home. Foggers will kill adult fleas, larvae and eggs. There are also sprays that are labeled to be used inside the home that will also kill adult fleas, larvae and eggs.
Sometimes, the biggest problem is found outside the home in the yard. Burns Feed Store has products that can be used to kill the adult fleas, larvae and eggs that could be growing in population there as well.
The best advice we can give is to stay up to date on your “monthly”, continuous flea control that is put directly on your dog or cat. Then if flea numbers seem to be high, take an aggressive approach and treat the house for fleas as well as the lawn.
Fleas can be extremely annoying, but with the proper applications, used in the correct ways, you and your pets will be flea free and happy!

With spring blooming in, so does the threat of grass tetany lurking around the corner. Cows find themselves in a high-stakes game of dodging grass tetany during this season, especially when the scene is set with overcast skies, chilly soil, and a buffet of rapidly sprouting cool-season grasses.

To the rescue comes Purina® Wind and Rain® Hi-Mag Mineral w/Altosid, swooping in to save the day by battling those sneaky magnesium shortages. Start offering this magical mineral 2-3 weeks before your cattle dive into the lush green goodness, ensuring they get their daily dose before the danger zone hits. Keep the mineral feast going for 60 days after the grass starts its growth spurt for maximum protection. Also, sprinkled with the the magic of Altosid Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) is an effective, economical and convenient way to control horn flies on pasture. When cattle consume mineral containing Altosid IGR it passes through the animal and into fresh manure where horn flies lay their eggs. The Altosid IGR breaks the horn fly life cycle by preventing pupae from developing into biting adult flies. The result? A reduction in horn fly populations to better support herd health and performance, resulting in more profit potential for you.

Available now at Burns Feed Store is the Purina Wind and Rain Mineral Tub w/Altosid! This is a 225# Tub with 14 essential minerals, high magnesium, fly control and weather resistant! All of this in one tub!! Effective ~ Economical ~ Convenient!
