By Nicole Rambo, Ph.D. Providing the correct diet for your horse is all about strik- ing a balance. A good nutrition program is comprised of quality forage and a feed to fill in the gaps. Even great quality forage will not provide all of the essen- tial amino acids, vitamins and minerals needed to support health and performance. A common pitfall is focusing on a single nutrient or ingredient without taking the whole diet into consideration. Avoiding soy, for example, without replacing the positive attributes that soy brings Nutrition Advice from Tribute ® Equine Nutrition to the diet could be detrimental to a horse’s health. Soybean meal is high in the amino acids that forages lack, soybean hulls are high in digestible fiber and soybean oil is calorie dense. In response, we’ve created Whole- some Blends™, a balanced line of soy-free horse feeds. Wholesome Blends™ also incorporates whole food ingre- dients like sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, black oil sunflower seeds and alfalfa pellets. While these ingredients bring great attributes to the diet, we can’t rely on them alone to provide all of the nutri- tion that the horse needs. The diet still needs to be balanced and for- tified with vitamins and minerals, which we’ve incorporated into these feeds, as well. In our pursuit to do the best for our horses, we need to look to the big picture balance of the total diet while also focusing in on the finer details. At Tribute® Equine Nutrition, we bring the same high standard of quality and balanced nutrition combined with safe manufacturing to every one of our products.
