Microbiome: How OMENTO has a positive effect on your horse's intestines
Where do our raw materials come from?
A careful selection of the best ingredients grasses Our hay is mainly harvested locally, sun-air dried and, before being released for production, chemically analyzed and microbiologically tested by an external laboratory. Grain We only process grain of German origin. Our carefully selected suppliers have set up a quality management system that enables us to trace the quality of the raw materials used in OMENTO at any time. All components are...
How long should my horse eat?
Extended feeding time In order to have quick access to energy, horses store energy in the form of glycogen in their muscles. This glycogen storage can be compared to the battery of a smartphone. For millions of years, horses have had a very slow energy absorption. Therefore, the battery in the muscles of horses is adapted to charge energy slowly. Horses kept in stables are usually fed two to three...
Usable energy
ME (metabolizable energy) calculation After eating, the horse does not have all of the potential gross energy or heat energy from a feed available. Part of this food energy cannot be digested and is excreted in the feces. Gross Energy – Fecal Energy = Digestible Energy (English: "digestible energy", abbreviated DE). Since 2014, it has also been generally assumed that a much larger proportion of the horse's energy (than previously...
