Dodson & Horrell Daily Vitamins & Minerals – 2kg

Dodson & Horrell Daily Vitamins & Minerals – 2kg

A low-calorie vitamin and mineral top-up for leisure horses and ponies at rest or in light work. A horse living on forage alone, or on a restricted diet because it holds weight too easily, will usually be short of several trace elements and vitamins — this supplies them at 10g per 100kg bodyweight without adding meaningful calories.

The base is alfalfa rather than cereal, so starch sits at 1.5% and sugar at 4.5%, which makes it appropriate for good doers and horses prone to laminitis. Alongside the vitamin and mineral premix it carries the patented QLC antioxidant package and a blend of blackcurrant, kale, spinach, beetroot, rosehips, rosemary and oregano, with mint and basil for palatability.

Performance & Benefits

• Supplies the vitamins and minerals a forage-only or restricted diet leaves short.
• Low calorie at an estimated 6 MJ/kg, with 1.5% starch and 4.5% sugar.
• Patented QLC antioxidant package supports the immune system.
• Alfalfa base with blackcurrant, kale, spinach, beetroot and rosehips.
• Mint and basil make it palatable for horses that pick at powders.

Suitable For

• Leisure horses and ponies at rest or in light work.
• Good doers holding weight on grass alone.
• Horses fed straight cereals or a forage-only diet.
• Horses prone to laminitis, where calories must stay low.
