We at Epol often speak about energy.
How much energy in is required for the energy out used by your horse.
Measured as digestible energy (DE) all our feeds have an energy reading.
Your horse has an energy requirement and this requirement can vary depending on:
➡Current workload
➡Weather and time of year (winter or summer)
➡Your horse's breed
➡Your horse's temperament
➡Stabling or live out
➡Stress level (can be induced by lots of traveling, competition and yard environment

Due to the above your choice of concentrate needs to be carefully considered.

Horses derive energy from sugar, starch, protein, fat and fibre. Food particles are broken down ultimately to simple sugars to be absorbed into the body as fuel to survive and provide the energy needed to compete and breed.

Horse owners are very aware how different forms of energy can affect their horses and many sport horses are sensitive to quick release sugar and starches as they make the horses very spicy and difficult to ride.

We at Epol believe forage to be the foundation of all horse's diets and we have a diet for every type of horse. Our diets are carefully and scientifically formulated to deliver the energy in the form you and your horse require. Catering for:
➡quick release energy for the harder working or 'cold' horse
➡medium starch diets with careful protein, fat and fibre balances for most normal horses
➡higher fat diets for horses needing sustainable energy sources
➡high fibre diets and low sugar and starch diets for those sensitive to commercial feeds and requiring a safe energy
➡forage only diets for the more natural approach to feeding

Give us a call to find out more of what your horse might require.
