Stress is in how you look at it.... Orally it takes at least 3 days to really tell a difference. Injectable takes about 12 hours.. Minerals are good, but they are not a lot of good if they will not eat it... I mix molasses and other feed with my minerals. If I grain them for a treat, it is spiked with mineral. I have seen a great improvement when using Biotin as a supplement. It is amazing.. It has improved an old mare I have also. Almost miraculous!!
