Red Mills Feed Room: Rethinking Vitamin E

The grass has gone brown, but has the vitamin E gone with it? 

Spike is back with Louise Jones for a bite-sized Feed Room, answering a great listener question prompted by the hot weather: when fresh green pasture turns dry and scorched, do we need to start supplementing vitamin E?

Louise explains what happens to vitamin E as grass dries out, whether a normal balanced diet is enough to cover the difference, and which horses might actually benefit from additional supplementation.

Highlights

• Why fresh grass is such a good source of vitamin E
• What happens when pasture becomes dry and scorched
• Whether most horses need extra vitamin E
• When supplementation may be worthwhile
• Vitamin E for horses prone to tying up
• Why feeding additional oil can change requirements
