Did you know that nematodes, trichogramma wasps and even Lady Bugs are good for your garden?


Lady Bugs are great for dealing with the Aphid problem. Apply Lady Bugs in the evening after watering on top of your infected plants.  They'll eat three times their body weight in aphids!  When the Lady Bugs leave, so have your aphids.

 

Web worms a problem in your trees?  Time for the first release of trychogramma wasps.  Buy them in tabs with 3,000 eggs on them and hang in a tree.  When they hatch they lay their eggs in web worms and kill them.  The organic control for the pesky web worm.  Bugs taking care of other bugs, Mother Natures way!

Feed Costs on the Rise- Getting the Best Nutritional Value for Your Money

Fuel, groceries, fertilizer, grain and hay are all on the price escalator going up, up, up. There are a number of reasons for this run in prices, including pressure on crops from ethanol production, poor climate conditions in some areas and the declining value of the dollar. Of course none of these reasons lessen the impact on our pocketbooks and horse owners are feeling the financial strain. This has caused many horse owners to become more focused on getting the most value for their dollar when it comes to feeding their horses.

 

Nutritional Management of Pregnant and Lactating Mares

Broodmares have specific nutritional requirements that differ from other classes of horses. There are differences both in the amount of feed mares need and the nutrient concentration needed in that feed. Throughout the year the broodmare goes through three different phases, each with a different nutritional demand. She is either in early gestation, late gestation or lactation. To keep this cycle going consistently requires that the mare receive the proper health care and nutrition.
