KLEPINGER EQUINE NUTRITION
Individualized, evidence-based nutrition for the whole horse.
Every horse is different. Their nutrition program should be too. Klepinger Equine evaluates the entire ration including forage, commercial feeds, supplements, vitamins, minerals, protein, amino acids, energy, sugar and starch, workload, body condition, life stage, and management.
What We Evaluate
Equine nutrition is more than choosing a feed. We evaluate how every part of your horse's diet works together.
Forage and Hay:
Hay, pasture and forage quality form the foundation of the ration.
Commerical Feed:
We evaluate complete feeds, ration balancers, pellets and concentrates.
Supplements:
We determine whether supplements are necessary, duplicated or contributing useful nutrients.
Vitamin and Mineral Balance:
We evaluate major and trace minerals, vitamins and important nutrient ratios.
Protein and Amino Acid:
Protein quantity and quality are evaluated according to the horse's age and workload.
Sugar and Starch:
Particularly important for metabolic horses, performance horses and special-needs diets.
