Nutritional advice

It is important to adjust the protein supply to the needs of your horse.

The maintenance requirement of an adult horse is approximately 500 grams of protein per day. The requirement of a sports horse that has to perform (very) heavy work is roughly twice as high

Roughage forms the basis and should in principle provide the largest part of your horse's protein needs, so it is important to know what the quality of your roughage is. You can have this tested.

You can supplement a deficiency with:

• Protein-rich roughage such as alfalfa
• Concentrated feed
• Supplement such as HWP protein

Points of attention :

Digestion : Horses have a sensitive digestive system that primarily requires fiber, such as grass and hay. Too much wheat protein can upset the horse's gastrointestinal tract and even lead to colic or laminitis.

Allergies : Some horses are sensitive to gluten or grains. If in doubt, consult a veterinarian.

Limited amounts : To prevent horses from over-ingesting protein, wheat protein should always be added in limited amounts and always in combination with other nutritious and fiber-rich sources.
