Vitamins support DNA regeneration and cell renewal, helping your horse stay strong and healthy. Every vital process depends on these organic compounds, which is why they're crucial for your horse's well-being and performance. Dr. Patricia Sitzenstock shares everything you need to know!
The most important vitamins for horses include:
Vitamin A: Supports vision, the immune system, and cell growth.
Vitamin D: Crucial for calcium and phosphorus absorption, promoting bone health.
Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that prevents cell damage and strengthens the immune system.
Vitamin K: Involved in blood clotting and bone health.
B-Vitamins: A group of vitamins that support energy metabolism, nerve function, and blood formation.
Vitamin C: Supports the immune system and acts as an antioxidant.
Most vitamins are adequately provided through a balanced diet consisting of high-quality hay, good pasture, and, if necessary, enriched feed. A vitamin deficiency can lead to various health issues, while overdosing, particularly with fat-soluble vitamins, can also be harmful. Regular feeding reviews and supplementation with vitamin supplements, if needed, should be done in consultation with a veterinarian.
