Mineral and vitamin supplementation is necessary for horses for several reasons:

• Required for digestion and utilization of feedstuffs and for most metabolic processes • Due to mineral depletion of soils, feedstuff nutrient value is lower

• Mineral and vitamin content of forages varies greatly

• Due to vitamin-mineral interactions, these nutrients need to be supplied in the correct amounts and proportions

• To achieve optimum performance Supplemental protein may be required based on growth requirements, reproductive stage, and forage quality.

It is an ideal product for meeting nutrient needs under situations that make it difficult to individually supplement horses on a daily basis, such as with pasture or range conditions. It is a good choice for supplementing free-choice to mature horses on pasture or range. Also, it helps meet nutrient needs of yearlings, two-year olds, gestating broodmares, and lactating broodmares.
