Horse keepers
A balanced diet to stay healthy and perform well
With forage analysis, you will have insight into the quality of the forage – and, if necessary, you can then supplement the feed with concentrate or supplements.
Your challenges
Horsekeepers face the ongoing challenge of maintaining balanced nutrition and a healthy environment for their animals. The nutritional value of forage such as hay, haylage and grass can vary widely, making it essential to understand levels of protein, sugar, starch and minerals to prevent metabolic issues. Soil health in paddocks directly affects grazing quality and weed control, while mineral imbalances -such as excess iron relative to copper- can have long-term health impacts. For those relying on private water sources, ensuring water safety and a suitable mineral profile is also critical to equine wellbeing.
