Cold weather, particularly below freezing temperatures, requires that owners pay careful attention to their horses to make certain that the horses stay in good condition through the winter months.
For horse owners that seek nutritional support for their horse's gut discomfort, Nutrena® has added Empower® Digestive Balance supplement to its lineup. Intestinal and gastric discomfort in horses is often due to stressful situations such as rigorous training, competing, shipping, frequent changes in environment, and even drastic changes in weather. While the structure of a horse is quite large, their gastrointestinal system is rather small, sensitive, and susceptible to upset.
Following the most extensive drought in 25 years, horse owners are facing hay shortages, increased prices and pastures in poor condition.1 We asked an equine nutrition expert about alternatives to feeding hay and what horse owners can do to help fill the gap left by these unusual and difficult conditions.
Cargill announced it has introduced two new veterinarian-recommended Nutrena SafeChoice horse feed products formulated to help improve horse nutrition. The new products will be available April 6.
Recently, Nutrena launched an effort to raise awareness for the need to help struggling families feed their pets along with their families. Because of animal lovers like you, this video about the need for pet food at food shelves was viewed over 12,000 times in just two weeks! As promised, we will now donate an entire truckload of Loyall Pet Food to animals in need in May!
