Top tips for practical feed management
Good feeding is not just about choosing the right product. How you store, prepare and handle feed every day plays a major role in maintaining quality and supporting your horse’s health.
Small management details can make a significant difference, from protecting feed freshness to reducing contamination risks. These practical steps from the @allenandpage award-winning nutrition team are simple to apply and easy to build into everyday yard routines. Thank you!
Laminitis: Restrict calories, not essential micronutrients
When managing good doers or laminitics, reducing calorie intake is often necessary for weight loss.
But cutting back grazing or soaking forage can also reduce their intake of important vitamins, minerals and quality protein.
⚖️ Fresh grass is a natural source of Vitamin E, so additional Vitamin E may need to be provided if grazing is restricted
⚖️ Copper, Zinc, Biotin, Lysine & Methionine support normal hoof quality and growth
⚖️ Restricted diets need careful balancing
A low-calorie vitamin & mineral supplement can be a cost-effective way to meet daily micronutrient requirements without adding unnecessary calories.
In all cases related to laminitis, please consult your vet. For tailored feed advice for your horse or pony, please contact a BETA ENFAR-accredited nutritionist.
Thank you, @equineamerica , for this important advice.
