Liquids are becoming increasingly popular in horse feeding. The liquid formulation of minerals, vitamins, or functional additives offers numerous advantages over pellets or powders. This is why many horses are very receptive to these products. Moreover, selecting from hay or pelleted feed – as can happen with pellets and powders – is virtually impossible. This makes it easier to achieve accurate and adequate dosing. Furthermore, application via the drinking water is possible, so that our liquids are also suitable for horses with reduced feed intake. Many horses like the taste so much that they readily consume the liquids in their pure form.
Liquids offer a unique opportunity for the high dosage of functional ingredients without using fillers. In pellets or powders, these cannot often be avoided technologically; however, in liquids they are not necessary. Therefore, they are also well suited for horses that, due to pre-existing conditions, are not supposed to eat feed containing high sugar or starch contents.
Liquids have invaluable benefits for horses with respiratory diseases. Firstly, they themselves do not create any dust or debris that can be inhaled during feeding and thus irritate the upper respiratory tract. Secondly, they also bind dust and small particles in the hay or feed pellets when added to it. Even small amounts are enough to significantly reduce the dust load.
The application area of our liquids covers both specific indications and the general support of your horse’s health. Thus, a thoughtful selection of various herbs can help support gastrointestinal health and alleviate respiratory problems. Nervous horses can benefit from calming herbs such as lavender or valerian. In the case of arthritic joint diseases, the supplementation of devil’s claw can have an anti-inflammatory effect and an extract from marigold seeds can support liver regeneration. (LKS Labor)
