Skinny horse
Stunted horse? HorseAdds Weight Support is specifically designed for horses that are prone to becoming lean and is also widely used to prepare horses for inspection. It is rich in high quality protein, fats and fiber. Very suitable for older horses or horses that consume too much energy due to stress and therefore lose weight. Yeast has been added to balance and maintain intestinal flora. It supports healthy skin, a shiny coat and the beautiful forms.
Wanneer is een paard te mager?
Bij een stilstaand paard mag je de ribben eigenlijk niet zien, enkel voelen. Bij een te mager paard zien we de ribben, soms ook de heupbeenderen en wordt de rug-/bovenlijn hol. Het skelet is als het ware goed zichtbaar, waardoor het paard hoekig toont. Oorzaken kunnen te weinig ruwvoer zijn, maar ook ruwvoer van onvoldoende kwaliteit, gebitsproblemen, worminfecties, stress of ouderdom. Als je paard ineens veel gewicht verliest zonder aanwijsbare reden, is het natuurlijk altijd verstandig om de dierenarts te laten komen voor een controle. Daarnaast is het raadzaam om het rantsoen uit te breiden of te verrijken. Meer ruwvoer, maar vooral meer eiwitten en vetten zijn belangrijk.
Weight Support contains high-quality amino acids
Soy and flaxseed are the two main ingredients in Weight Support. Soy is an important source of protein, as it contains about 40 to 50% crude protein. It is one of the best sources of essential amino acids in horse feed which has a good amino acid profile to promote growth and muscle development. Soy is especially high in lysine, the most important limiting amino acid that the horse should get through nutrition. It is a good source of fiber.
Why does Weight Support contain flaxseed?
Flaxseed is added as extruded flaxseed. A process in which flaxseed is heated for a certain time at a very high temperature (above 120 degrees). The hydrocyanic acid disappears, just like boiling flaxseed. After heating, the flaxseed is ground and to prevent oxidation, it is dried. Flaxseed is also an excellent source of energy and contains high-quality amino acids. Ideal for horses that need more energy and/or protein.
In addition, flaxseed has other health benefits. Flaxseed contains a high level of unsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids stimulate the immune system, support healthy skin and shiny coat. In addition, flaxseed has a positive effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa and stimulates digestion. In fact, flaxseed contains mucilages, these mucilages provide a protective layer over the intestinal wall. In addition, these mucilages attract water, giving the manure more volume and stimulating intestinal peristalsis. Linseed can therefore be used to cleanse the intestines and help remove sand.
Give skimpy horse plenty of fiber
Sufficient fiber is essential for horses. They are digested in the large intestine by bacteria, also called fermentation. This creates volatile fatty acids which are used as an important source of energy. Fiber is a slowly digestible and thus slowly released energy source. Therefore, HorseAdds Weight Support includes oat bran, a highly digestible and rapidly fermentable source of fiber. Fiber stimulates the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria (gut flora) and accelerates their fermentation.
Healthy gut flora and promotion of appetite
To maintain healthy intestinal flora and optimal digestion, Weight Support contains yeast and fenugreek. In addition, fenugreek may promote appetite.
