Life gets busy and finding time to ride can be a challenge—but your horse’s nutrition shouldn’t be. Even if you have a well-doing horse or only ride occasionally, their health and well-being depend on a balanced diet that provides essential nutrients.

HYGAIN® BALANCED® makes it easy to provide complete nutrition without unneeded calories. This pelleted all-round, balancer feed concentrate is the perfect choice for good doers, pasture-fed horses and those on a restricted diet.

Plus, with up to 40 feeds per bag, it’s a simple and economical way to keep your horse healthy and ready for your next trail ride, lesson or show—whenever that may be!

Preventing Heat Stroke in Cattle This Summer ☀️🐄

High temperatures can be dangerous for livestock. Here’s how to keep your cattle cool and prevent heat stress:

💧 Plenty of Water – Ensure constant access to fresh, cool water. Cattle drink more in hot weather!
🌿 Shade & Shelter – Provide natural or artificial shade to keep them out of direct sun.
💨 Good Airflow – Use fans or misting systems in barns to improve ventilation.
🌾 Adjust Feeding Times – Feed in the cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening.
🚛 Limit Transport – Avoid moving cattle during peak heat hours.

Watch for signs of heat stress, like heavy panting, drooling, or lethargy. Stay vigilant and keep your herd safe! 🐂❄️

Dairy cows are one of the most susceptible livestock species to heat stress, feeling the effects of increased temperatures as low as 23°C.

Creative Ways to Cool Down our Furry and Feathered Pets on Hot Days

* Dogs enjoy toys or treats frozen in water or stock which are really nice for dogs to chew on and they’re cooling at the same time.

* Cats also enjoy frozen treats. You can always use water, broth, or even organic goat’s milk as your base and throw in cat-friendly add-ins like flaked tuna, catnip treats, or wet cat food.

* Parrots enjoy frozen fruit and vegetables. You can also make fruit puree pops which are a great treat during the summer. You can make them by combining water, oat or almond milk with fresh or frozen fruit.

* Rabbits like popsicles, too! When hot weather is on the way, freeze some ice blocks containing berries and/or plain vegetable juice (diluted with water) and give one to your bun to eat. As with all treats, these should be given in moderation

* Guinea Pigs, keeping their temperature down, from the inside out with some tasty frozen fruit.
Simply cut up apples, strawberries, or watermelon and place it in an ice tray with water. Allow it to freeze and serve. Also, keep an eye on how many treats you give.

* Chickens enjoy frozen peas, watermelon, and strawberries. You can also make your own treat blocks with water and berries.

* Horses, basically you’ll be freezing your horses favorite foods into a bucket of water to create a giant frozen treat.
Healthy horse popsicles are very adaptable depending upon your horses dietary needs and can be made a couple of different ways for horses that like to play with their food.

* Farm friends appreciated having frozen tidbits in the heat of the day. Freezing excess fruit and vegetables and offering them to your animals as a special treat.
They also like having their daily grain ration chilled.
If you can, chill the daily grain ration before feeding, and it will help to cool the animal from the inside out. It’s best to feed such concentrated feedstuffs at the end of the day in hot weather, as the digestive process causes animals to heat up.

Note: If your pet is suffering from heatstroke, then you should not give them ice. Instead, you should cool them with water and contact your vet immediately as heatstroke needs urgent treatment.
