Vitamins, which supplement is best for my horse?
Thursday 28 March 2019
On many occasions it may be advisable, or even necessary, to provide extra nutrients to the horse's food, either due to the lack of a specific element, due to a disease or problem, for wanting to gain weight...
When choosing the supplement to be administered, the needs and characteristics of our horse may be taken into account.
FOALS
During the growth of the foal we must be attentive to all to all his stages so that there is no complications or deficiencies and he ends up being a healthy horse.

If we see that the foal has a slow growth, or we simply want to help him for an optimal development of the skeleton and bones, we can administer the supplement EQUI 2000 BASIC as soon as he starts to eat.

EQUI 2000 BASIC is a complete vitamin supplement with multivitamins, minerals and aminoacids that balances the shortage of micronutrients in hay and concentrates. Its presentation in pellets and its whey content make it a star supplement for foals, although it is also suitable and recommended for all stages of the horse.
From weaning to 24 months we must ensure the optimal development of skeleton, ligaments and tendons of the foal with a specific supplement, such as EQUI 2000 FOAL.
EQUI 2000 FOAL is a supplementary feed with the essential minerals, oligoelements, vitamins and aminoacids for the growing horse for optimal joint, tendons, ligaments and skeleton development.
If there is a bone development problem, a specific supplement with calcium and phosphorus can be administered.
EQUI 2000 CALCIUM provides calcium in the form of a chelate, fully assimilable. Corrects calcium deficiency and optimizes bone structure. It also provides phosphorus in the ideal proportion.
ADULT HORSES
When the horse reaches adulthood, it is important to give a vitamin supplement according to its physical activity. If the horse competes and needs more energy, resistance or power, there are specific supplements. If we need a vitamin supplement to improve his general condition, a good option with great quality-price relationship is OILOVITE.
OILOVITE is a complete and economical supplement with vitamins, minerals, oligoelements and aminoacids. Compensates for existing nutritional deficiencies in hay and cereals of the horse's basic ration. It creates the conditions for a good physical development of the foals, a pleasant appearance and a constant performance capacity in the horses.
SENIOR HORSES
Finally, special attention must be paid to senior horses. Over the years, horses may have difficulties digesting and utilizing the nutrients in what they eat, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. In addition, is important to ensure that the vitamin supplement is specially formulated for senior horses, so that the concentrations are appropriate and they can assimilate the nutrients to the maximum.
