Chronic Protein Deficiency in Horses

I ran across this article the other day and had some pretty intense "hmmm" moments. Especially when I read how little protein in hay is bioavailable. It explains so much!

Anyway, I was reluctant to share it because some folks may throw the whole article under the bus due to the reference to soybean meal as a dense protein supplement, but if you don't or won't feed soybean meal, overlook that and evaluate the take-home message. Chronic Protein Deficiency In Horses

My mare with PSSM type 2 gets 1 lb of soybean meal a day. I'm not convinced it's helping but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything either.
