How the Heck Do I Feed This Horse: Mallenders & Sallenders
Manage episode 419613488 series 3353980
In this episode Dr. Nicole Rambo and equine specialist Heather, address a listener's concern about Mallenders in feathered horse breeds, such as the Gypsy Vanner.
They debunk myths around dietary needs specific to draft horses, clarifying that nutritional requirements are more influenced by a horse's life stage and activity level rather than breed. The conversation touches on common skin issues like hyperkeratosis, particularly prevalent in spring due to wet conditions and mites. The team also explores how proper nutrition, grooming, and the use of specific supplement ingredients, including biotin and omega 3 fatty acids, can support skin health and overall well-being in horses, debunking misconceptions about diet restrictions related to protein and starch intake. They underscore the importance of comprehensive care and nutrition to tackle these challenges effectively.
