Senior Horse Supplement SENIOR HORSE SUPPLEMENT
This product is formulated specifically for the older horse that may not be receiving adequate nutrition due to an inability to masticate common feedstuffs such as grains, hay or pasture. In addition, nutrient absorption in older horses is normally lower than in young and middle-aged horses. Older horses may also be more susceptible to chronic diseases which result in reduced feed intake and may further reduce nutrient absorption. Feeding a balanced ration that is easy to chew and digest is critical in these situations.

Senior Horse Supplement provides the formulating nutritionist an alternative ingredient to supply adequate energy in a product that is easily chewed and digested. It also provides a dietary source of specific nutrients which are involved in the growth and development of healthy joints and hooves. Senior Horse Supplement can also be used to increase the ration energy content to put on additional fat cover and improve body condition prior to winter weather in colder climates. This will help the senior horse better maintain body temperature during exposure to cold, wet and windy winter weather.
