Are You Feeding Your Horse Unnecessary Supplements?

Are you wasting money by feeding your horse unnecessary supplements? Maybe you thought that your horse isn’t getting enough of the most important nutrients, that maybe he’s missing something that could cause problems or even make him sick. So you feel like you should add a supplement or two or three, maybe your friend recommended something or you saw an advertisement that addressed a concern of yours, so you give him a bit of this and a bit of that just to make sure you’re covering everything. Does this sound familiar?

The problem here is that if you aren’t calculating your horse’s diet, you still aren’t sure if he’s getting the right amounts of the right things. And as we all know, the costs of supplements can quickly add up and become very expensive.

How FeedXL Can Help

This is where FeedXL comes in – letting you feed with certainty because you know what you’re feeding is meeting requirements and you no longer need to add extras as a “just in case” insurance. With FeedXL, you can see exactly which requirements are met and which aren’t, and adjust your horse’s diet accordingly.

In the video below, we’ll go over a perfect example of this. With this diet, the owner has done a great job of putting together a high forage diet and with good intentions was using many supplements to ensure he was getting everything he needed. But watch as we’re able to completely remove nine unnecessary supplements and two feeds from his diet while still providing a diet that’s meeting all of his nutritional requirements at half the cost!
