Feeding
"Is my horse getting everything it needs, or does it require concentrate feed?"
How do I know if my horse is getting all the nutrients it needs?
The best way to ensure that your horse receives proper nutrition is by analyzing the forage. A forage analysis provides information on energy, protein, and minerals, helping you determine if any additional supplementation is necessary.
Does my horse need concentrate feed?
Nej, din häst måste inte äta kraftfoder. Om grovfodret täcker näringsbehovet räcker det ofta med att tillsätta mineraler och vitaminer som Trikem Minerals and Trikem Vitamins
Om extra energi eller protein behövs finns skonsamma alternativ:
- Trikem Energy Oil – A high-quality energy source.
- Trikem Protein Complex – A protein feed with prebiotics.
How much forage should my horse eat?
A horse should consume at least 1,5 kg dry matter (DM) per 100 kg body weight per day . To determine the actual amount of feed required, you need to know the DM content:
Hay (84% ts) → Approx. 10,7 kg per day for a 600 kg horse.
Haylage (65% ts) → Approx. 13,8 kg per day for a 600 kg horse.
