Specialized Nutritional Additives Used and Benefits of Hoffman's Horse Products

Feed Program For Every Horse

The Hoffman's line offers a feed for every horse designed to meet their specific needs to help them excel and reach their full potential. 

Fiber Friendly Feeds

Hoffman's Horse Products are a line of fiber friendly feeds that have been designed with specific high quality ingredients using nutritional technology, which allow the horses system to utilize the full potential of the nutrients from not just the ration, but the forages that are being fed to the horse on farm

Low NSC Feeds

Hoffman's Horse rations are designed to have a low sugar and starch level (NSC level). Besides our Textured ration, Hoffman's Horse rations have no sugars, grains, or any other starches added. 

Fat-Based Energy Sources/Cool Energy 

Hoffman's Horse rations use fat as their energy source, mainly in the form of steel cut flax, rice bran, and canola oil. By using fat as the energy source it gives your horse a long-lasting, cool energy, this allows your horse to perform with a more collected mind. 

Fat Digestion Aids

All Hoffman's Horse Rations with higher fat levels (greater than 4% total) will have fat digestion aids built into the feed to enhance fat absorbtion and digestion. This aid is called phosphatdyl-choline and allows the horse to get the nutritional benefits of the fat right away. 

B Vitamins

All feeds will have all B-vitamins added. Even though the feeds are developed to maximize microbial synthesis of these vitamins, we add in significant levels of such critical B-vitamins, such as biotin for hoof building. 

ZinPro® Complexed Minerals

These trace minerals (cobalt, copper, manganese, and zinc) are added into Hoffman's Horse Products because they make the minerals more biologically avaliable to the horse. High levels of minerals that interfere with absorption of regular trace minerals do not affect the ZinPro® complexed minerals. An example would be high leels of iron found in many hay samples. 

Organic Selenium

A portion of the selenium in all Hoffman's Horse Products contain organic selenium from Diamond V®. This is to ensure better absorption of selenium and much better utilization within the body.

Diamond V® Yeast

Diamond V® Yeast is added to all Hoffman's Horse Products. It is added to enhance the growth of the bacteria in the hind gut. The enhanced growth of these bacteria will enable better digestion of forages and fibers in general. This will result in better energy available to the horse. In genral, this will allow us to feed a lower amount of ration and still be able to consistently provide a balanced energy to the horse. 

Amino Acids

Amino acids are added to most of the Hoffman's Horse Rations to keep the crude protein levels low while providing the essential building blocks of the protein to be adequate for the performance desired. This allows for a well balanced, high quality protein. 

Magnesium Chelate

This magnesium chelate used in Hoffman's rations allows for greater absorption of magnesium into the horses system.
