Fortifed Feeds are mixes of ingredients meant to provide the correct balance of proteins, energy sources, vitamins and minerals for particular groups of horses. In contrast, grain mixes contain grains and molasses, but not added protein, vitamins or minerals. Grain mixes always contain more phosphorus than calcium and usually lead to nutrient deficiencies and imbalances in the total ration.

Fortified feeds are much better for horses than grain mixes because they contain vitamins and minerals in the correct amounts and ratios for horses. Vitamins and minerals added to feeds must be listed on the label. Be sure to check the label on your horse feed. If vitamins and minerals, [for example: monocalcium phosphate, copper sulfate, d-alpha tocopherol acetate (natural-source vitaminE)] are not listed on the feed label, the feed is a grain mix, not a fortified feed.

Fortified feeds come in two main forms, pelleted feeds and sweet feeds. In most situations, we recommend pelleted feeds for horses. Our pelleted feeds contain less starch and sugar and are more digestible in horses than typical sweet feeds.
