The Hartog Essential is a palatable balancer that is composed of grass and flaxseed. The Hartog Essential is low in sugar and starch and provides all the daily required vitamins and minerals. Hartog Essential can be seen as a roughage based supplement
• All daily vitamins & minerals for a balanced ration.
• Extra vitamin E & Biotin
• Delicious combination of grass and linseed
• Free from molasses, lucerne and grains.
By adding Hartog Essential to your horse’s ration, you can be sure that you are providing your horse with all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and trace elements (organically bound). What sets Hartog Essential apart from other balancers is that the levels of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements are based not on minimum but on optimal values for your horse. For instance, the levels of vitamin E and biotin are elevated to supplement levels to ensure effectiveness.
Who is this suitable for?
Leisure horses
Nervous horses
Rehabilitating horses
Sensitive gastric system
Sober breeds
Sporthorses
Sugar sensitive horses
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful anti oxidant and can support horses, especially recovering, stressed, or exercising horses. Vitamin E levels in silage, haylage and hay can be very low therefore adding the Hartog Essential is the best option to secure optimal vitamin E levels of the diet.
Biotin
The biotin is increased to a level of 57142,9 mcg per kg to support optimal hoof health. Lower levels of biotin in feeds or supplements are not effective. Feeding the Hartog Essential secured an optimal intake of biotin to secure effectiveness.
Flaxseed
Source of healthy omega 3 fatty acids.
With Hartog Essential, there is no need to add separate vitamin or mineral supplements to your horse’s ration. In addition to individual nutrients, the ratios between vitamins, minerals, and trace elements have been optimized, eliminating the need to combine different feeds and/or vitamin supplements. Extra attention has been paid to palatability in the development to make it not only healthy for your horse but also a real treat! As you would expect from Hartog, Hartog Essential is not only packed with vitamins, minerals, and trace elements but also loaded with healthy fibres.
