How much roughage does my horse needs per day?

The amount of roughage your horse needs depends on the dry matter content in the roughage. This is the weight of the product without water. A horse needs at least 1.5 kilograms of dry matter from forage per 100 kilograms of body weight for a properly functioning digestive system.

Because forage is a natural product, the dry matter percentage can always vary from the average.

Example of forage requirement for a 600 kg horse.

Forage type and amount  9 kg of dry matter equals;

  • Grass 60 kg
  • Silage 15 kg
  • Hay 10.5 kg

Why should I feed my horse concentrate?

Not every horse needs concentrate, but if your horse does a lot of work, is pregnant or lactating, it may need to supplement its energy needs with concentrate.

At Hartog you will find various concentrate feeds that are ideal to supplement roughage rations. 

Take a look, for example, at Hartog Balance, Hartog Daily or Hartog Strength.

Can I just change my horses feed?

It is important that your horse’s ration be of consistent quality. Therefore, we recommend keeping sudden changes in feed to a minimum.

Do you buy forage in small lots? Then make sure the roughage comes from the same farmer or the same piece of land to minimize changes.

If your horse’s feed changes we recommend that you do so gradually. Set aside a few days to weeks to slowly change the ration. This way your horse, as well as the digestive system, can get used to the new feed.

How do I introduce a new Hartog product to my horse's diet?

When introducing a new feed, we recommend making the change gradually. Start with a small amount of the new product and slowly increase it over several days, or longer if needed.

This gives your horse's digestive system time to adjust to the new feed.

How should I store my Hartog products?

To keep your Hartog products fresh and in the best possible condition, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ideally, keep the feed in a clean, dry feed container. If you prefer to keep it in the original packaging, make sure the bag is properly closed and stored off the ground.

How long can I keep Hartog products?

The shelf life of our products varies depending on the type of feed. You can find the expiry date on the packaging.

To maintain the quality of your feed, always store it in a dry and clean environment. We recommend checking the product before feeding and avoiding any feed that shows signs of mould or spoilage.

Our commitment to quality is supported by both GMP+ and Skal certification. GMP+ ensures strict standards for feed safety throughout the production process, while Skal certification allows us to offer certified organic grass and lucerne products.
