A ‘normal’ diet consists of sufficient high quality roughage with at least a mineral supplement and an addition of good proteins. To meet the basic mineral requirement using concentrates, you’d have to feed a minimum of 2.5 kg for a 500 kg horse. That is too much for most horses, and it can lead to health- and behavioral problems. A highly concentrated mineral (and at least vitamin E) supplement offers a solution to this problem. The EquilinBALANCER is a high quality mineral supplement with natural vitamin E and pre and probiotics (live yeast and pectin) and meets the needs if you have average roughage. Adding minerals to the roughage is ALWAYS necessary!
If you are currently feeding 1 to 1,5 kg concentrate it is advised to add half a dosage of BALANCER to the diet, which is 50-60 grams for a horse.
The EquilinBASIC or EquilinCOMFORT is especially designed for horses that are trained more intensively and/or have to perform on higher levels. EquilinBASIC or EquilinCOMFORT is an addition to a complete diet. It contains substances that are usually not or not sufficiently found in the ‘normal’ diet, and which drs Annette van Weezel Errens considers to be necessary to keep the body healthy on the long term, keep the horse perform well and minimize the risks of injuries.
