Omega Equine Vitality – Horse Vitamin & Mineral Supplement 1.5kg

Omega Equine Vitality – 1.5kg

Vitality is a superfood blend rather than a fortified vitamin and mineral supplement, and the ingredient list is the interesting part: flaxseed meal, moringa leaf powder, sea buckthorn powder, turmeric, nettle, aloe vera, tart cherry powder, seaweed, calcium carbonate and spearmint. It analyses at 26.3% oils and fats and 16.9% protein.

The dose is two scoops a day for a horse and one for a pony, with Omega capping it at 100g a day. At the maintenance rate the 1.5kg tub is around thirty days for a horse — which works out at roughly 50g, or about 25g a scoop. There is a 3kg refill if you settle on it.

Performance & Benefits

• Ten natural ingredients including moringa leaf, sea buckthorn, tart cherry, nettle and seaweed.
• 26.3% crude oils and fats, largely from flaxseed meal.
• 16.9% crude protein and 15.5% crude fibre.
• Turmeric, aloe vera and spearmint included alongside the superfood powders.
• Omega describe it as carrying natural antioxidant capability.
• 1.5kg tub is about thirty days for a horse at the maintenance dose.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies of all types on an everyday maintenance dose.
• Owners wanting a natural, whole-food supplement rather than a synthetic one.
• Horses on good grazing whose diet needs topping rather than balancing.
• Not a fortified vitamin and mineral supplement — Omega publish no vitamin or mineral levels for it, so a horse on forage alone still needs a balancer such as Baileys No.14 Lo-Cal Balancer or Spillers Supple & Senior Balancer.

Feeding

• Omega publish no separate loading rate — the maintenance dose is the whole instruction.
• Mix into the feed. Clean, fresh water at all times.
