Minerals in roughage – how to use the analysis together with Regulator Complete

If you have had a roughage analysis that has also analyzed the minerals, here is a guide to knowing what level you should aim for in Everyday Happy or Peak Performance's dosage.

Minerals – Remember a balanced feeding plan that includes a Regulator Complete vitamin and mineral supplement

Roughage does not contain enough vitamins and minerals. Therefore, supplement with one of Regulator Complete's vitamin and mineral supplements that suits the horse's needs.

⚠️ IMPORTANT:
In order for you to use the dosage schedule's " normal " dosage of Regulator Complete's vitamin and mineral supplements - such as Everyday Happy, Peak Performance or Supreme Minerals - and at the same time ensure that the horse is covered with microminerals, the roughage should contain approximately the following values:

Recommended minimum values ​​in roughage (dry matter basis):

✔ Copper: 4–5 mg/kg
✔ Zinc: 20–22 mg/kg
✔ Manganese: 40–50 mg/kg
✔ Iron: 100–110 mg/kg

Note: Only 10–15% of the iron from roughage is absorbed by the horse.

When should you adjust up?

If the iron content is lower than average – which is often the case in Denmark – it may be a good idea to increase Regulator Complete's vitamin and mineral supplement slightly, so that it corresponds to the “Extra” level in the dosage chart.
This ensures that the horse's needs are met correctly.

If the other values ​​are generally lower, you should at least assign the “Extra” level in the dosing schedule .
