FUJI 17,729 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) I used to use the tinned tomatoes but now the only thing that i add to my dogs feed is a horse mineral and vitamin supplement and only then during the hunting season Edited to add..this is the advert for the stuff i use.. Selenium & Vit e are powerful anti oxidants which helps damage from free radicals. Adequate Selenium intake is very important for horses under stress from high performance lifestyles or from being rundown / ill health. Targeted for known mineral deficiencies Vitamin E is an important nutrient found naturally in fresh grass, levels begin to drop the moment grass is cut for hay, therefore horses on restricted grazing may be deficient. ideal for those diets where balancing mineral requirements to forage analysis is important Important for the production of antibodies in the horse for a better immune system and the production of the thyroid hormone for better growth rates Deficiency of Selenium may result in Tying up/muscle cramps. A lack of selenium may also cause slower healing of wounds and infections. Appropriate for horses exerting severe physical effort.
