Not all fats/oils are equal. We have carefully chosen the
following oils for their unsurpassed nutritional value and
the compound benefits your horse will receive from feeding
Coco Complex™.
A NOTE ABOUT ANTIOXIDANTS:
As an animal exercises, cell structures can
break down because of compounds that contain oxygen. The
harder an animal works, the more those compounds are
present. Oxidation of cellular structure can cause injuries
and lower the immune system. Thus, the need for oils rich in
nutrients that will combat oxidation. Ruby Saddle™ enriching
oils counteract oxidation with many various nutrients that
fight in different parts of the cellular structure.
Collectively, these nutrients are even more effective.

FEEDING FAT
-
Consuming fat is necessary to facilitate absorption of
Vitamins A, D, E,& K.
-
Digestion of fat produces less internal
body heat compared to high carb or protein diets.
-
Fat contains 2.25 times more energy than
carbs or protein, making it an easy and safe way to
increase energy density.
-
Heavy GRAIN feeding can increase risk of
gastrointestinal problems.
-
Adding fat allows a reduction in grain,
which can stabilize the hindgut environment and prevent
digestive disturbances.
-
Horses fed fat often display a calmer
disposition.
-
Horses are only able to utilize
approximately 50-60% of the energy in hay/grain diets.
-
90% of the energy contained in
vegetable oils can be utilized.
-
Because a horse’s digestive tract is
fairly small, the total amount of feed volume it can
accommodate is limited.
-
Horses can manage a fairly large
quantity of dietary fat (oil), thus safely increasing
the energy density of the diet.
