Winter Feeding for Horses | LINASSON

When our clients ask us which forage they can provide to their horses during winter, at Linasson, as experts in animal nutrition, we recommend using high-quality forages to prevent digestive problems such as colic.

The most recommended forages in these cases are:

• Meadow hay
• Sun-cured alfalfa
• Oat hay

In addition, before selecting the most suitable forage, it is essential to carry out a personalized analysis for each client, taking into account the activity level of the horses. During winter, horses burn more energy to maintain their body temperature, which they achieve through their metabolism and the digestive process of hay. This process includes post-gastric fiber digestion, initiated by thorough chewing that generates saliva.
