Recipe for vitamin and mineral biscuits

With rye bread, oatmeal and Supreme Minerals you can easily make small, delicious biscuits that cover your horse's daily needs for vitamins and minerals - and with ingredients that many horses eat with great pleasure.

The recipe here is suitable for a 100 kg horse – so you can simply multiply by your own horse's weight.

You will need:

• 17 g Supreme Minerals
• ¼ cup oatmeal
• ½ slice of rye bread
• About 1 teaspoon water or unsweetened applesauce
• A little grated carrot or apple dice (Optional)

How to do it:

1. Crumble the rye bread in a bowl.
2. Add oatmeal and Supreme Minerals and stir well.
3. Add a little liquid – the mixture should be firm and malleable.
4. For example, roll up to 3–5 small balls or small bounty bars – and voila: your own homemade vitamin biscuits!
5. Bake them at 120°C hot air for 30–40 minutes until completely dry.
6. Cool and store dry in a tightly sealed container.

Tip:

Feel free to make several days at a time and store in a cookie tin.

Daily dosage:

Ofte stillede spørgsmål om hjemmebagte hestekiks

Hvor længe kan hjemmebagte hestekiks holde?

Opskriften angiver ingen holdbarhed. Bag nogle dage ad gangen, og opbevar dem helt tørre i en tætsluttende beholder.

Hvor mange hestekiks skal hesten have om dagen?

Én portion pr. 100 kg hest, fordelt på de 3‑5 kugler, portionen giver. En hest på 500 kg får altså 5 portioner.

Kan hestekiksene erstatte saltet?

Nej. Hesten skal stadig have sit daglige salt ved siden af. Læs mere i artiklen om elektrolytter og salt.

Kan jeg bruge mere end 20 g pr. portion?

Ja, hvis hesten er i intensivt arbejde eller diegivende. Så øger du Supreme Minerals efter tabellen og beholder resten af opskriften.
