Introduction
As a horse owner, one of the most important things you can do to ensure the health and well-being of your horse is to provide them with a properly balanced diet. This means considering their unique nutritional requirements and feeding them high-quality feed and supplements that meet their specific needs. In this article, we will explore the importance of proper nutrition for horses and how Vizion Equine’s EZ-NRG Horse Feed and EZ-VTM supplement can help you meet your horse’s dietary needs.
Understanding Nutrient Requirements for Horses
The Importance of Nutrient Requirements
Horses have specific nutrient requirements that must be met to maintain their health, well-being, and performance. Understanding these requirements is key to providing your horse with the proper diet.
Nutrient Requirements for Horses
The National Academy of Sciences publishes the Nutrient Requirements for Horses, which is a compilation of scientific data from universities and foundations across the globe. This publication provides information on the specific nutrient requirements of horses based on their class and use.
The Problems with Commercial Feeds
Confusing Feed Tags
One of the major issues with commercial feeds is that it can be difficult to determine what nutrients are provided in relation to what nutrients your horse needs. Feed tags can be confusing, with some ingredients listed in grams, some in lbs, and some in ppm (parts per million).
Nutrient Quality and Digestibility
Another issue with commercial feeds is that the nutrient quality and digestibility can vary widely depending on the ingredients used. Some feeds contain fillers or low-quality ingredients that are not easily digestible by horses, while others may contain excessive amounts of certain nutrients that can be detrimental to your horse’s health.
Vizion Equine’s Solution: EZ-NRG Horse Feed and EZ-VTM
The Criteria for Horse Feed
Vizion Equine’s EZ-NRG Horse Feed was developed with specific criteria in mind, including no soy or corn or their byproducts (to prevent allergies), no standard fillers, and the use of steam-treated processed sugar beet pulp. Additionally, EZ-NRG contains custom-designed, strategically delivered nutrients in the most digestible form and uses slow-digesting fats, starch, and fiber to feed enzymes in the foregut to release energy.
The Benefits of EZ-NRG Horse Feed
EZ-NRG Horse Feed is highly economical due to its condensed nutrient density and digestibility. This means you can cut back on the amount of feed you give your horse while still providing them with all the nutrients they need. Additionally, EZ-NRG does not stress the horse’s digestive system and meets all of their specific nutrient requirements.
EZ-VTM Supplement
Vizion Equine’s EZ-VTM supplement is designed to complement EZ-NRG Horse Feed and provide your horse with a comprehensive vitamin, mineral, and digestive aid supplement. EZ-VTM is scientifically formulated to meet the specific nutrient requirements of horses and contains premium ingredients, including live-yeast pre-and pro-biotics for enhanced digestion and gut health.
Conclusion
Proper nutrition is essential for maintaining the health, well-being, and performance of your horse. By understanding your horse’s unique nutrient requirements and providing them with high-quality feed and supplements like Vizion Equine’s EZ-NRG Horse Feed and EZ-VTM, you can help ensure that your horse remains healthy and happy for years to come.
