Testimonial about Agape Products: Working with Goats
Michael Amen is the owner and manager of
Ugly Goat Dairy in Elizabeth, Colorado. He is
currently milking 12 head of Alpine and Nubian does. This is the first year that Michael has used SweetPro’s Fresh Start and Goat Block in his feeding program and he is beyond pleased with the results. Prior to this year, he was using the standard mineral and protein block available at his local feed store. While his production was good, he now feels that, by using the Fresh Start and Goat Block, it is outstanding. The does have freshened within the last two months and his production is up 2 pounds per doe (rolling herd average) already.
In Michael's own words, “Every doe seems to step off the milking stand and go directly to the water. My babies were born fat and shiny. They got up immediately and wanted to nurse. My somatic cell count is very low, and my does are in beautiful condition.”
Michael produces a variety of goat cheeses, as well as a wonderful goat milk fudge which he supplies to high-end restaurants in Denver and also to individuals. He also supplies raw milk to individual herd share-holders.
Additionally Michael produces all natural eggs from
his flock of chickens that he feeds Fresh Start to as well.
All of this year's doelings will be saved and Michael
is hoping to double the size of his herd in the future. Fresh Start and Goat Block will certainly be a
part of that bright future.

Will EquiPride help my IR or Cushings Horse?
Question:
I have an insulin resistant horse and need to know, if you know or can have measured, what the NSC (I think it means the natural sugar content) or ESC of Equipride is. I know you don't add any sugars to the product, but everything has a natural sugar content and I need to know what Equipride's is.
Thanks,
Pam
Answer:
Pam,
NSC on EquiPride is between 4.75% and 5.75%. The technical definition of NSC is Non-Sructurual-Carbohydrate which would include both starch and sugar,
Of the NSC in EquiPride, it’s technically starch, but “resistant starch” which is a category just below structural and is digested the same as a dietary fiber.
We make a point of being the best supplement available for the IR horse. We don’t contribute to insulin related problems, indeed, we help improve (modulate) the insulin response. We are having very good results is IR, laminitic horses and those with variations of IR problems such as Cushings.
It was interesting to hear the term Natural Sugar Content used with the initials NSC. It’s actually a good way to remember the essence of the term because it seeks to identify rapidly digested carbohydrates and of course sugars are the biggest part of that.

Hooves, coat & skin improve using EquiPride
I just wanted to tell you how incredible Equipride is! I have two Arabians; a 23 year old mare who is my trail horse, and a 3 year old show filly. 6 months ago I started them on Equipride at the advice of my feed store guy; they were already in great shape but I wanted to maintain their coat and feet through the winter.
Within a few weeks of starting them on Equipride I noticed a big difference in skin and coat condition, within 4 weeks I could see a change in their hooves. They were already great in both areas, but I still saw a BIG improvement!
About two months after starting on Equipride my husband left us and we found ourselves homeless. We ended up moving in with family 2000 miles away. When we arrived at our new home it was some of the hottest temps on record, the flies were horrible, and within two weeks my 23 year old mare had a major leg wound that the vet said would result in permanent lameness and my filly started dropping weight like crazy. During the move they had been off their Equipride for a total of about 4 weeks, so once my mare was injured I immediately started them back on it. Within THIRTY DAYS my mare's leg wound was completely healed and she was completely sound. I have photos of this wound and every single person who has seen it is absolutely amazed that she recovered at all, much less that quickly. in addition, my filly has put weight back on and once again has an amazing feel to her coat.
I will never go without your product again, even though I now have to order it online at a much greater cost, and after reading your testimonials page, I am going to start my dog who has hip problems on it as well.
Thank you for your incredible product!
