Force
- cereal-free & molasses-free
- minerals, trace elements, vitamins
- for all horses
- broad Ca:P ratio
marstall Force provides leisure and sports horses with key minerals that are often lacking from ordinary hay and cereal feeds.
Each horse’s energy and protein needs vary considerably and always depend on the work done and the physical makeup of the horse. Mineral, trace element and vitamin requirements also differ. Because most pastures and hay meadows in Germany are poor in species diversity, almost all horses should receive a mineral feed or mineralised supplement to make up for the nutrients missing in their forage.
marstall Force is an especially high quality mineral feed for all horses of any age and breed and regardless of their performance or field of work. Our marstall Force has a broad Ca:P ratio, making it ideal for balancing pure hay and cereal diets, although it can also be combined with other marstall feeds. This is especially recommended if the horse receives smaller feeds than the recommended quantities.
Research has shown that almost half the horses in Germany are lacking in selenium (Müller et al., 2012). marstall Force contains all the key minerals, vitamins and trace elements such as selenium, copper and zinc. This supplements and balances the hay and cereal feed completely. Our marstall Force is highly palatable which makes it readily accepted by horses. The extra small pellets can be individually rationed for each horse and each performance situation and thus help to cover requirements precisely. marstall Force is cereal free and therefore suitable for all horses which are intolerant to cereals or which have metabolic problems such as EMS or Cushing’s disease.
