Wheat Germ Soybean Oil Blend

Adding fat to top dress a feeding program is an excellent way to improve body condition for those hard keepers, high performance, special needs and senior horses. Fat is energy dense and provides more than twice the kcals per gram (9kcal per gram) compared to carbohydrates and protein, (both provide 4 kcals per gram). In essence, a horse would have to consume more than twice the volume in grain to gain the equivalent calories provided by fat.

Adding fat will reduce the amount of grain required, will improve digestibility of fat soluble vitamins as well as the slowing down the flow of food from the stomach into small intestines where digestive enzymes take action to further break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

Feeding smaller amounts of grain more frequently and top dressed with fat, would be better suited to maintain body condition and support the sensitive digestive capacity of the horse.

Not only will horse gain a shiny, luxurious hair coat, but it can help maintain body weight for those hard keepers, adding fat calories that are easily digested, does not contribute to risk of colic or founder, or increased bulk in a stomach that is self-limiting in size. The addition of Vitamin A, D and E make this an excellent all around top dressing, palatable and cost effective reducing requirement for additional grain.
