Broad Spectrum Supplements

Vitamin Supplements for HorsesIf a horse is receiving about 30% of its total daily diet (forage and hard feeds) as compound feed, it should not need a broad spectrum supplement.

The conditions when a horse may require a broad spectrum supplement are as follows:

  • If a horse receives a diet of straights, either as part or whole of the hard feed part of its ration
  • If the horse is stabled on an all hay diet; this diet will be short of protein, vitamins and certain trace elements
  • If the horse is not on the full ration of compound feed, possibly because the workload does not require it, or because the horse naturally works off less food
  • The horse may be a good doer and the feed intake may be low
  • The horse may be under a high workload, appetite may be limited, and stress may prevent it from taking in and utilising the required nutrients
  • At grass, no compound feed being offered
