Frequently Asked Questions

Vitamin A: The concentration of vitamin A also diminishes in concentration over time. Deficiency symptoms in horses include night blindness, watery eyes, growth defects in bones and muscles, a dull coat, and reproductive difficulties.
What is the function of vitamins in horses?
Vitamins are essential for a horse’s growth, tissue maintenance, bodily functions, and optimum athletic performance. They are categorized into two types: fat-soluble and water-soluble.
Do horses make their own vitamins?
The microflora in the hindgut produce several vitamins that contribute to a horse's overall health. Vitamins such as the B-vitamin complex, vitamin C, and vitamin K are synthesized to some degree by the gut. Maintaining the gut’s health and its delicate microbial population is essential for overall well-being.
Why are minerals so important for horses?
Minerals are vital for the health and well-being of our horses. They support various functions, such as maintaining strong bones and aiding in the production of enzymes and hormones. However, it’s important to maintain the right balance, as significant deficiencies can arise if horses are underfed.
