Equine Gastric Care Seminar

Ocala Breeders’ Feed and Supply will host an Equine Gastric Care Seminar.  This event is on December 3, 2019, at 5:30 pm., at our Highway 27 location.

The guest speaker is Stephanie McLean with Purina Animal Nutrition.

Purina Outlast

Purina® Outlast® Gastric Support Supplement is formulated to support gastric health and proper pH. It is estimated that up to 90 percent of active horses experience gastric discomfort.  This affects overall health, attitude, and performance. Common activities including stall confinement, exercise, transportation, weaning and environments such as events and shows are known to cause stress and gastric discomfort. Purina® Outlast® Gastric Support Supplement was developed by our Ph.D. Equine Nutritionists to support a healthy gastric environment.

Purina has also added out last to several of their trusted feed formulas to ensure horses are not only receiving the nutrition they need, but gastric issues are addressed, rather than having treat horses with gastric issues with additional products.

Bring your questions, and join us for a great seminar.

We are proud to be hosting an Honor Show Chow Showman’s Secrets Meeting. Anyone involved with showing livestock is sure to benefit from the information. We have some amazing door prizes and the biggest news is a FREE all-expense paid trip to the Honor Show Chow VIP at Purina Mills Research Farm in St. Louis, Missouri.

Guest Speakers

Dr Clay Elliot

Dr. Elliot is a busy guy. He brainstorms new products and formulas for small ruminants to help meat goat and sheep producers resolve issues and improve their operations. Also, he runs his own herd of sheep and has a competitive club lamb operation in Oklahoma.

As a researcher and sheep producer, Clay wears both hats to understand and attack problems affecting sheep and goat raisers. At the top of his list to permanently solve? Keeping copper contamination out of sheep diets. In addition, he would also like to see more raisers address lambing and kidding issues with nutrition.

Clay has a Ph.D. in reproductive physiology and a master’s in meat science from Texas Tech University. Prior to joining Purina, Clay worked in academia, teaching classes in meat science, livestock evaluation and production, and animal science, as well as training collegiate judging teams.

Dr Faith Hughes

Dr. Faith Hughes was bitten by the “horse bug” at 6 years old and has yet to get over it. She knew she wante to be a vet for as long as she can remember. While hauling horses for extra money during undergraduate and vet school at Auburn, she became familiar with Peterson Smith. It didn’t take long for her to decide that is where she wanted to be when she finished her training. She joined the practice in 1991 and is now a senior partner.

Dr. Hughes is board-certified in Large Animal Surgery. Although she enjoys surgeries of all varieties she especially likes colics because no two are exactly alike. She calls her farm “The Island of Misfit Toys,” as it is home to a variety of critters in need of a place to live.  However, over the years she developed a passion for raising show sheep and cattle. She is a true believer in what showing livestock does for the growth and development of so many youth today, and is an avid supporter of stock show kids. Dr. Hughes owns and operates Sacred Silent Farm, where they are continuously improving their genetics and producing champion sheep and cattle.

We look forward to seeing all of you at the Showman’s Secrets Meeting on September 7, 2023.
The meeting will be held at the Highway 27 Store.
