Dosage chart - Supreme Minerals

Good planning makes everyday feeding easier

Therefore, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with what is most important for your horse's needs ( decisive factors ) - and how we assess the total workload .

The normal , extra and maximum dosages are an important part of planning so that you reach the level that suits your horse.

Important: Don't you have a mineral analysis of your roughage?

Then we recommend that you follow the "Extra" level in our dosing chart. It's the best way to ensure your horse gets enough of the important microminerals – even if you don't know exactly what's in the roughage.

If, on the other hand, you have an analysis and the figures for the mineral content are roughly like this, you can safely use the normal dosage of, for example, Every Day Happy, Peak Performance or Supreme Minerals:

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

Since horses only absorb a small portion of the iron in roughage (typically 10–15%), and many analyses show low values, we often recommend the "Extra to Maximum" level if the roughage is particularly low in iron .

Daily dosage:

15-20 g per 100 kg horse in maintenance/light work
20 g per 100 kg horse in moderate, pregnant or senior horses (15+ years)
20-35 g per 100 kg horse in intensive work or lactation 1-3 months

We recommend 1-2 tablespoons of salt along with your daily dose of Every Day Happy or Peak Performance.

Stallion

Stallions must have a minimum of 10% higher daily dose than the schedule indicates to be covered.

We recommend that stallions be fed an extra dose in relation to their workload.

Feeding pregnant, lactating mares and their foals

When the mare is pregnant, she is fed until the 8th month according to how much work she is doing. From the 9th to the 11th month, she should be fed the same as a horse that is in moderate work (see dosage chart).

After the mare has foaled (had her foal), she is fed for the first 3 months like a horse in demanding work, because she must produce milk for the foal. After that, she is fed with feed suitable for a horse in moderate work (see dosage chart) until the foal is weaned (no longer nursing).

If the mare is both pregnant and still has a foal nursing, she should be fed as a horse in demanding work (see dosage chart) throughout the period she is giving milk. Once the foal is weaned, follow the recommendations again as described in the dosage charts above.

Foal feed:

  • Foals from about 2 to 5 months old should have about 0.5 grams of Supreme Minerals per day per kg of the foal's weight.
  • Foals from 6 months and young horses should be fed based on their expected adult weight. They are fed as horses in light work or general paddock activity.

FAQ about feeding

Yes, it is good for the horse to mix Regulator Complete products in water.

This applies to both Balancer Peak Performance and Every Day Happy/vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as to both fiber mash, salt and electrolytes.

The information in our dosage charts is always in dry weight.

Fiber mash soaked in water with vitamin/mineral blend and salt/electrolytes acts as a storage depot that travels through the horse's intestinal system.

The transfer of nutrients from the intestine to the bloodstream is optimized, as the horse is thus given the opportunity to absorb them at the pace it needs.

Studies show that when vitamins and minerals are fed without fiber, they are transported too quickly through the horse's intestines, which means that the horse does not get optimal benefit from them.

Use 1 part +Fiber Mash to 5 parts water.

For example, 250 gr. +Fiber Mash to 1.25 liters of water.

  • The water can be cold or lukewarm depending on what your horse needs.
  • Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • If your horse prefers a thinner mash, add more water as needed.
  • If you add Every Day Happy or Peak Performance vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements to fiber mash, do not increase the amount of water.

Yes, if your horse doesn't like wet food, you can feed it dry, but we recommend that you soak it.

If your horse is prone to esophageal constipation, we recommend that you always soak the fiber mash.

Use 1 part +Energy Fiber Mash to 4 parts water.

For example, 250 g +Fiber Mash and 1 liter of water.

  • The water can be cold or lukewarm depending on what your horse needs. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • If your horse prefers a thinner mash, add more water as needed.
  • If you add Every Day Happy or Peak Performance vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements to the fiber mash, do not increase the amount of water.

This increases the horse's water intake and thus benefits fluid balance.

Reduces the risk of dehydration and electrolyte depletion, thereby optimizing the horse's well-being and performance.

Benefits the horse during hard training/riding, fluid loss due to sweat, long-term transport or other stressful situations.

Very hungry horses and ponies

They achieve more peace of mind as the food is filling and allows for longer slurping/eating time.

Dustbinds the crib feed.

Make the mash slurp-thin with a lot of water. Many horses really like to eat mash when it is thin like soup, rather than thick like porridge.

Helps with digestion

Soaked feed stabilizes the horse's digestion.

Mash helps the horse's digestion, both because it contains liquid-filled fibers and because they

Supplementary feed

Complementary feed is a concentrated feed with few feed units/is low in calories and often consists of vitamins, minerals and protein.
