Why a balancer is essential for a healthy horse ration

Introduction

Many horses today need little or no concentrate feed. In fact, they already get enough energy from roughage to maintain their condition. We should think especially of horses at rest, recreational horses that do little work, austere breeds, brood and gestating mares in early pregnancy, young horses,….

But that doesn’t mean their rations are complete.

The hidden problem

Roughage often contains insufficient vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Vitamin E drops sharply as grass is stored, as shown in the graph below. This shows that only horses that could eat unlimited fresh grass can meet their maintenance needs for vitamin E, in addition, some horses such as sport horses have an increased need for vitamin E.

In addition, trace elements such as selenium, copper and zinc are often insufficient.
This can lead to long-term health problems.

The solution: a balancer

A balancer is a concentrated source of essential nutrients without extra energy.
