As supplements supplement the horse feed

Each horse owners wants to make the best choices when it comes to looking after their horse, including the best food. All of us know that feed (like grass and hay) is the basis of horse feed, but somehow the horse business has evolved the attitude that the horse "needs" it.

In fact, a horse needs a food base that is high value feed; then its caloric or energetic needs are covered; followed by nutriments such as proteins, vitamin and mineral; and lastly, extra additives to solve any particular problems that individuals face. Focussing on feeding ponies gets most of their food from the food or rough fodder they ate.

Given that the horse is intended to absorb 1-2% of its own daily weights in the field or in the field, it should come as no great deal of surprises that 10 to 20 lbs (for a 1,000 lb horse) of vegetable material provides the most carbohydrates, proteins, vitamin and mineral that the horse needs, along with fibrey mass, for a sound gastro-intestinal system.

In order to get a better understanding of how much of each individual nutritive substance is supplied by the dietary fibre you provide for your horse, it is possible to carry out feed analyses or feed tests. Equipped with these "nutritional facts", the remainder of the horse's food can be adapted to make sure that it receives the right quantities and the right ratio of nutritional elements.

It can also be used to choose better suited for a horse with a low non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) content, a low calorie food or other specific needs. Calorie count While the feed finds its way through the intestines to the ceecum and large intestine, its fibre components begin to be absorbed or fermentated by the microscopically small living in the hind intestine.

If those germs or "good beetles" degrade the carbohydrate structures that the horse itself is not capable of degrading, some of the end product are fleeting fats (energy), aminos and aminos. Thus, feed is an important food or calorie resource for the horse and extra dietary fiber should not be ignored as a dietary diet.

A complete feed: a produced feed that mixes grains and coarse feed; developed to partly or fully substitute the feed of a horse, usually due to tooth decay or because no top feed is available (also known as "senior feed", which feeds 15-20 pounds a day).

Pelletized Grain: a produced feed containing proteins, diamonds, vitamins as well as mineral guarantees; usual species are pelletized and sweetened feed (also known as "concentrate", which contains 5 to 9 pounds daily). Wholemeal: a crop that is not enriched with extra nutritional substances; can be cracked, crushed, rolled or heated (examples: oat, maize, barsley; portion sizes 1-5 pounds or quart daily).

Rat Balancer: a concentrate, usually a granulated feed, which has been developed to complement and compensate a pure feed by supplying proteins, vitamins as well as mineral; no appreciable sources of energy for simple foods or sugar/starch which are so perfect for simple farmers and others who do not or cannot have extra sugar and/or energy (portion 1-2 pounds daily) Usually for simple farmers and others who do not need or cannot have extra sugar and/or energy (portion 1-2 oz daily).
