Trace Minerals

Many horse supplements include trace minerals, really just metals with important biological functions. For horses, the most important trace minerals are: Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Cobalt, Iodine, and Selenium. Trace mineral deficiencies can cause a wide variety of health problems: including, poor hoof and hair condition, bone problems, and blood cell formation issues.

Antioxidants

Antioxidants are important for your horse on many levels. Nature supplies antioxidants to protect us from the destructive effects of environmental free radicals. Free radicals are caused by ultra-violet rays from the sun, x-rays, exposure to pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and more.

Organic Selenium

Selenium (Se) is a trace mineral, an essential nutrient that is an anti-oxidant. It protects the body from oxidative stress. A selenium deficiency may cause white muscle disease, muscular dystrophy, tying up, reproductive problems, and impaired immunity.

Selenized Yeast

Yeast cultures and probiotics have been proven in university and field trials to improve fiber digestibility and nutrient retention when included in equine diets. Improved digestibility means the horse gets more nutrients without increasing feed costs. Fiber digestibility is also critical to maintaining normal gut function, which is of special importance in working horses fed high energy diets and during times when forage quality is poor.

Daily Maintenance

Northwest Horse Supplement is formulated by professional nutritionists to provide the correct quantities of Selenized Yeast, Organic Selenium in addition to all Natural Vitamin E Chelated Trace Mineral, needed to balance the diets of Non-Gestating, Non-lactating adult and near adult Northwest Horses.
