When it comes to horse nutrition, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Each horse has unique needs and challenges to overcome. One such challenge that many horse owners face is managing 'hard keepers' – horses that struggle to maintain a healthy weight despite a seemingly adequate diet. Here at The Hungry Puppy, a trusted pet and farm supply store serving the community since 1987, we understand the intricacies of equine nutrition and are here to help. We proudly stock and recommend Purina horse feeds and supplements, a brand with over a century of experience in animal nutrition.
* Understanding Hard Keepers
Hard keepers can be a result of various factors, including breed, age, health conditions, stress, or simply a fast metabolism. Keeping your horse at an ideal weight is crucial for their overall health and performance. Weight loss can lead to decreased immune function, reduced performance, and increased risk of colic. Therefore, finding the right nutritional solution is essential.
* Why Choose Purina Amplify
Among the wide range of Purina horse feeds and supplements, one product stands out for hard keepers – Purina Amplify High-Fat Horse Supplement. This scientifically-formulated, easy-to-digest nugget is packed with calories and nutrients to help your horse gain weight in a healthy and sustainable way.
Purina Amplify contains a high-fat content - 30% fat from rice bran, flaxseed, and vegetable oils. This provides a calorically-dense, palatable source of energy that promotes weight gain and improves body condition. What's more, Amplify is packed with antioxidants, including Vitamin E, to support a healthy immune system, and Omega-3 fatty acids for a shiny coat and excellent skin condition.
* Incorporating Purina Amplify Into Your Horse's Diet
When introducing Amplify to your horse's diet, start with a small amount and gradually increase to the recommended level over a couple of weeks. This will allow your horse’s digestive system to adjust to the higher fat content. It can be fed along with your horse's regular grain ration or on its own as a snack.
* More Purina Products for Hard Keepers
In addition to Amplify, Purina offers several other feeds designed to support weight gain and healthy body condition in horses. Purina Equine Senior, for instance, is an excellent choice for older horses that struggle to maintain weight. It's a complete feed with high-quality fiber sources, and it's easy to chew and digest, even for horses with dental issues.
For performance horses that burn a lot of calories, Purina Ultium Competition Horse Formula provides high levels of energy from multiple sources, supporting weight gain, performance, and recovery.
