St.Hippolyt Hesta Mix Light Energy, 20 kg

Special breeds, ponies or particularly easy-to-feed horses are often supplied with sufficient energy with a small amount of concentrated feed. However, the supply of vital nutrients and building blocks can be insufficient with energetically adapted feeding. The addition of calcium-rich mineral feed does not meet the actual nutritional needs of these horses.

The consequences can be deficiency symptoms, which are currently occurring more and more frequently:

• Listlessness
• Nervousness
• Susceptibility to infection
• Allergy tendency
• Indigestion (diarrhoea)
• Dull, shaggy coat
• Poor hoof quality
• Bare spots on the flanks and on the belly seam
• Itching with chafing of the tail and mane, preferably in spring and in late summer / early autumn (washing, fungus or mite remedies do not bring about any lasting change)
• In some cases loss of appetite and emaciation

Hesta mix
In Hesta Mix we find a horse feed rich in vital substances in proven, wholesome St. Hippolyt quality. A particularly high proportion of micronutrients in biologically highly utilizable form supports a regulated supply of trace elements with an appropriate concentrate ration. The advantage of organically bound trace elements is their more reliable absorption through the intestine. In this way, deficiency situations can be compensated for quickly and reliably. Valuable oils from flaxseeds, corn germs, grape seeds and black cumin seeds provide polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic, alpha and gamma-linolenic acids, which are necessary in connection with the trace elements for the formation of prostaglandins that reduce inflammation.

Troubleshooting
Experience has shown that the consistent incorporation of Hesta Mix into the daily feed ration can help eliminate feeding-related coat problems through to feeding-related eczema. Most robustly kept Icelandic horses, fjord horses, Haflingers, Arabs, Frisians, Iberians, Tinkers, Shires and Frisians benefit from this. The prerequisite is that no serious mistakes are made in the keeping, care and total feed supply. For example, horses with fur and eczema problems do not belong 24 hours on pastures with plenty of feed, as the robust breeds and steppe horses in particular are prepared for poor food and thus usually receive too much protein in our latitudes.

Hesta Mix light energy
Some horses gain weight quickly from feeding concentrated feed. Therefore, there is a low-energy, but particularly micronutrient-rich variant of the Hesta Mix, the Hesta Mix light energy.
Even 500 g per day has proven itself in smaller horse breeds that are particularly prone to eczema due to feeding, such as Haflingers, Icelanders, fjord horses or Shettland ponies.

Extreme situations of lack of easy-to-feed horses can also be compensated for with MicroVital.

Feeding recommendation:
Approx. 100 to 150g per 100kg bodyweight and day
