QUICK TIP TUESDAY | Managing Starch Intake in Young Growing Horses 💛

Weanlings and yearlings have a developing hindgut microbial ecosystem that plays an essential role in fibre digestion, nutrient utilisation and overall digestive health.

Why is starch intake important?

Feeding a low-starch, nutritionally balanced breeding feed can help support healthy hindgut fermentation while providing the essential nutrients required for optimal growth and development. Research has demonstrated that higher-starch diets can alter hindgut microbial populations and may contribute to increased behavioural reactivity in young horses. Additionally, excessive energy intake during growth can contribute to rapid weight gain, which may increase the risk of developmental orthopaedic disorders (DOD).

QUICK TIP TUESDAY | The Power of Fibre Diversity 💛

Did you know that offering your horse a variety of fibre sources can help support a healthy hindgut?

Horses rely on hindgut microbes to ferment fibre into short-chain fatty acids, providing a valuable source of energy. Different fibre sources offer different nutritional properties, helping support a varied and balanced diet.

How can you introduce fibre diversity?

• Offer a combination of suitable hay types, such as Rhodes, teff or meadow hay.

• Include lucerne hay alongside grass hay.

• Add a highly digestible fibre source, such as beet pulp, to your horse’s hard feed.

• Consider a fully fortified, high-fibre feed suited to your horse’s nutritional needs.

Horse owners have reported improvements in body condition, more consistent manure and reduced wood or post chewing after introducing a greater variety of fibre sources into their horses’ diets.

Remember, any dietary changes should be introduced gradually to support your horse’s digestive health.

Same trusted Builda. Now in a 20kg bag. 💛🖤

You may notice Builda is now available in a 20kg bag instead of 25kg. While the bag size has changed, the trusted Builda formulation remains exactly the same.

The move to a 20kg bag reflects our commitment to the health and safety of both our customers and retail staff. By reducing the bag size, we’re making lifting and handling easier while aligning Builda with the rest of the Mitavite range.

The price has also been adjusted in proportion to the reduction in bag size, so you’re continuing to receive the same trusted nutrition in a more practical and safer format.

If you have any questions about the change, our team is always happy to help.

QUICK TIP TUESDAY | Understanding Energy Sources 💚💛

Not all energy sources are created equal! Understanding how different nutrients contribute to your horse’s diet can help you make more informed feeding decisions.

Fibre: Provides sustained energy through hindgut fermentation.

Fat: A concentrated energy source that supports body condition and provides fuel for exercise.

Starch: Provides readily available energy to help fuel exercise.

Protein: Primarily supports muscle development, growth and tissue repair.

MITAVITE feeds are formulated with different nutritional profiles to suit varying workloads and individual needs.

FORMULA 3®: Combines starch and fat as energy sources to help meet the demands of horses in heavy work.

COOL VITALITY®: A higher-fibre, lower-starch option suited to horses requiring a more controlled starch intake.

Understanding the balance of nutrients in your horse’s feed can help you choose the most suitable option for their workload, condition and individual nutritional requirements.
