🌾 Feeding additional fibre over winter increases calorie intake and helps to keep horses warm.

Horses digest fibre (hay, chaff and pasture) with help from the billions of bacteria that live in their hindgut in a process called fermentation.

One of the ‘by-products’ of this fermentation is heat, and it is this heat that really helps a horse to stay warm during winter.

Because of the ‘warming’ properties of fibre, your horse will benefit from additional hay over winter.

Did you know horses begin to expend energy to keep warm when the temperature 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝟱°𝗖? Rugging horses in winter can help to minimise associated weight loss.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁?
❄️Horses have a wider thermal comfort zone than humans (𝟱-𝟮𝟱°𝗖 vs just 25°C for humans) so even if we are cold, it is likely that our horse is not.
❄️When the temperature drops below 5°C shivering, often contributes to horses losing weight over winter.
❄️Shivering (the rapid contraction of muscles to keep warm) is a thermoregulatory process seen in both humans and horses, that is fuelled by energy stores.
❄️Rugging horses in winter can minimise this by decreasing their need to regulate temperature on cold days and nights.
❄️Rugs are particularly effective when cold weather is combined with rain.
❄️Wet weather decreases 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (when your horse’s hair stands up and traps warm air close to their body) so they have to shiver more to keep warm.

🐴 Using a complete feed such as Pryde's EasiConditioner can help manage winter weight loss. For more info visit: https://www.prydes.com.au/easiconditioner

Don't let the diet be the variable in your horse’s performance 💪

Pryde’s feeds are made to a set recipe because consistency matters and delivering quality nutrition means knowing exactly what you are getting in every batch.

When done correctly, least cost feed formulas may provide the amount of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals specified, but ingredients will often change, and protein quality can be compromised.

🐴 When was the last time you turned over a bag of feed to check the protein quality? Every feed contains protein, but protein quality is what actually counts most.

High quality protein provides horses with what they need to grow, build muscle or make milk.

Poor quality protein is of limited use. Diets containing low quality protein result in poor topline, development issues and insufficient milk production.
