Kevin making sure all the residents have enough forage! π€£β€οΈ
Forage is very important for horses in cold π₯Ά weather because it helps them maintain their body temperature and energy levels.
Forage is the basis of a horse's diet, and it's especially important in the winter when grass is scarce! π±
Why forage is important in cold weatherβ¦
π₯ Generates heat π₯
Forage is fermented in the horse's digestive system, which produces heat that keeps the horse warm.
β‘οΈ Maintains energy levels β‘οΈ
Forage provides the energy a horse needs to offset heat loss from the cold.
π€ͺ Satisfies behavioral needs π€ͺ
Forage helps satisfy a horse's natural desire to chew.
π Prevents digestive issues π
Forage can help prevent digestive problems like equine gastric ulcer syndrome.
