Farnam’s New Easy Pour Bottles Save Money and Hassle


Until now, filling your quart spray bottle with fly repellent usually meant two things: wasted product and a mess to clean up. Not anymore. Just in time for the 2017 fly season, Farnam introduces new easy


pour bottles for Endure® Sweat-Resistant Fly Spray and Tri-Tec 14™ Fly Repellent. Both product lines now feature a spill-proof spout and the handle is on the side of the bottle rather than the top. For even more con- venience, Farnam added a new smaller size, the 50-ounce bottle, which is lighter and takes up less space, making it easier to use and ideal for travel.


“We listen to our customers and we understood their frustration


with filling quart sprayers,” says Tina Anderson, Director of New Prod- ucts Strategy and Development for Farnam. “We kept in mind that many of our customers are women, so we wanted a package that was not only easier to handle, lift and pour, but that also reduced the amount of prod- uct wasted by spilling on the barn floor. We looked hard at other indus- tries and bottles in the soap market prompted the change.” Although the redesign required making changes to production ma- chinery to accommodate the new bottles, Farnam did not increase the


price on these upgraded, user-friendly bottles. Farnam is currently the only company in the equine market offering this style of bottles for their fly repellent. Customers tend to gravitate toward larger bottles because this


means an average savings of about 20% over continually buying quart- size sprayers.Anderson says that in the future more of the company’s insect repellent products will likely adopt the easy pour packaging with 50-ounce and 128-ounce optionsthat are now only available in Endure® Sweat-Resistant Fly Spray and Tri-Tec 14™ Fly Repellent.

Select The Best Adds Forage Balancers to Their Lineup Select The Best has always believed that the foundation of every


horse’s diet should be forage. Feeding forage based diets is what the horse’s digestive tract is designed for. Unfortunately forage alone may not provide all the nutrients necessary to meet the rigors of today’s per- formance horse. Our new Select Grass & Alfalfa balance your feeding ration for the needs of the equine performance athlete by the type of hay or forage in your ration. Select Alfalfa for alfalfa rations & Grass for grass rations provides all the key amino acids, minerals, vitamins and minerals.


Amino Acids - Select Grass and Alfalfa both provide sources of


Lysine & Methionine. These help support hoof health, muscle develop- ment, healthy coat, immune function. Amino acids are the key building blocks of protein which your horse needs to grow and thrive. Minerals - The macro group are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium,


sodium, chloride, and potassium. They are major contributors to the skeleton as well as muscle function, nerve conduction and fluid balance. They must also be present in the correct ratios, particularly true of cal- cium and phosphorous at two to one. Select Alfalfa provides less calci- um more phosphorus and Select Grass provides more calcium and less phosphorus to balance these hays. The micro group are Zinpro (organic trace miner- als complexes) and Sel-Plex (a selenium yeast) which are better absorbed, stored and utilized than other inorganic forms. Vitamins – Vitamins in


dried hay is quite low and de- clines over time. B vitamins act as cofactors for nutrient
