Notes de l'éditeur
- Just want to emphasize that what we do makes a real difference in the life of a horse and their owner…and that could mean any given bag that was the first bag of feed this particular horse was given
- Because we know that horses need consistent care, including a consistent diet, the idea of a fixed formula sounds like it would be good for the horse. Feeding them exactly the same ration sounds like the good thing to do from a management standpoint. The problem with this idea is that horses don’t have ingredient requirements, they have nutrient requirements. The only purpose of the ingredients is to provide the required nutrition in a palatable, safe vehicle. Let’s see what can happen to nutrition when you use a fixed formula…here we have a nice formula for a 14% protein horse feed. At least that is what we’re formulating it for based on average protein content of the ingredients….
- But, even within excellent quality ingredients, there is nutrient content variation. For example, not all good quality oats have the same amount of protein, not all beet pulp has the same amount of calcium, etc. So, when you use a fixed formula and don’t know the nutrient content of the supply of ingredients you are using for every batch of feed, there can be a tremendous range in the amount of nutrition delivered by the exact same formula. At Purina Mills, with our knowledge and testing of ingredients, we are able to use a constant nutrition formula system. This means that we test ingredients at the plants before they are accepted. If they test outside of our quality standards, we reject them and they are sold somewhere else. If they meet our quality standards we accept them and we know the nutrient content of the major nutrients. We manufacture each product using a very narrow range of adjustments that can be made to the formula to make each batch of feed provide exactly the same nutrition. We may make a minor adjustment in amount of soybean meal to make up for a slightly lower protein content of the oats, or we may make a very minor adjustment in the amount of oats to compliment a higher protein content of the beet pulp, etc. These are very small adjustments in amounts that go unnoticed by the horse, but that insure the same amount of nutrition is delivered in every bag. This is very different from least cost formulation which may make big changes in ingredients just to keep the feed cheaper. We do not do that in any way. We have very strict formulation standards that our veterinarians and Ph.D. nutritionists approve and every manufacturing facility must adhere to those standards. This system is put in place to ensure that the very most consistent nutrition is provided to your horse on a continuing basis and his system does not have to deal with the nutritional variation that can come with a fixed formula.

- Ingredients will vary in NSC content and laboratory analysis is variable between labs and even within same samples sent to the same or different labs so identifying a specific number for %NSC isn’t possible. The best option is to choose a range that is important for your horse’s individual issues and level of sensitivity.
- When it comes to nutrition," Young said, "sometimes more is better, sometimes more is worse, and sometimes more is just more. There are certain amounts of all nutrients that the body requires for optimum function and performance. If the diet is deficient in a nutrient, health and performance will suffer. If the nutrient is added to the diet, performance will continue to improve until the nutrient requirement is met. However, there comes a point at which the continued addition of that nutrient will actually begin to hinder health and performance, and in some cases, over supplementation can become toxic to the horse."
