Default Groom suppliment

I'm sure it's been done to death, but - is Groom a suppliment for vit/min (like, for example, Equilibrium/Cell Vital), or do you feed it as a coat conditioner only, plus add a good vit/min with it (example: Cell Vital).

Would you feed copra along with Groom, or no need?

I had a quicky look at the Groom bucket today before work and I am sure I saw that it had copra/full fat soya in it?

Cheers

I feed it purely as a coat supplement. Honda is on cell vital to get all the vits and minerals that he needs.

Does it add weight? or darken the coat?

Is livermol simular? Going back on threads, livermol looks to be more used ?

Just interested

Livamol and groom are a coat supplement, you don't feed them to put on weight.
Copra will put on weight and as a side effect it is also good for their coat.

Jed is currently on copra

Is Groom or Livermol better/more popular for chestnuts ? Or are they about the same?

Groom and livamol aren't specifically for chestnuts. They are for any colour. I know a lot of people who use them on every colour but especially bays, chestnuts, liver chestnuts, browns and blacks.

Which one to use really comes down to your wallet and personal preference.
Personally I've had a lot of good results with groom with the added bonus that it's a hell of a lot cheaper than livamol, so I use that. But I also know a lot of people that prefer livamol.

I am a fan of groom too! Had some excellent results with it - coat wise but it does contain all min and vits but i dont think there is enough to class it as a min/vit supplement so just a coat conditioner!
