Supplements

Supplements are feed additives used to increase the amount of a specific nutrient or nutrients in the diet.  Four common types of supplements are protein, vitamin, mineral and a combination of all three.  A protein supplement may be recommended for horses that are lactating or in later stages of pregnancy or for growing horses.  Additional protein may be required if a horse's hay supply is of a low feed value.  If a horse does not receive the correct amount of vitamins in his feed, or does not synthesize the vitamin in his body, he may need vitamin supplementation.  Mineral supplements are more frequently required than vitamin supplements.  Calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, and iodine are the most commonly deficient minerals in a horse's diet.
