FAQ

In order for your horse to gain weight, he must start taking in more energy and protein. Before adjusting the ration of a lean horse, make sure that your horse does not suffer from worms and that his teeth are fine. Give a lean horse an unlimited amount of good hay or silage. Grazing will also help the horse get fatter faster. Grass contains more energy and protein than hay and silage. In addition to roughage, a horse also needs concentrate. For example, you can supplement the roughage well with the Subli Mare Broth (also suitable for studs and rearing horses). You can support this with the Subli Omega 369 mix. Omega 369 Mix is a specialty of Subli. It is a highly concentrated energy supplement for horses and ponies with a very high content of vegetable oils (over 40%) that do not make horses fiercer.

If your horse is too fat, it is advisable to look carefully at the ration. Make sure the horse stays in good condition to prevent laminitis and not overload the joints. An appropriate diet for a fat horse should contain less energy (starch and sugar), but still have sufficient fiber and nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The Subli Diet Mix is ideally suited for this. Dhese mix contains a very low sugar and starch content combined with a high crude fiber content and all necessary vitamins and minerals. It allows a horse to lose weight in a healthy way.

Also, the Subli Mineralenbikkels may be an option. The Subli Mineralenbikkels are a complete feed developed especially for horses that do no or little work and have access to good roughage and/or pasture. The feed recommendation is 30 to 100 grams per 100 kg of body weight. A 500 kg horse therefore needs to be fed a maximum of 500 grams per day in addition to good roughage and/or pasture. As a result, you end up feeding only 145 grams of starch/sugar.

Older horses need an appropriate ration to stay in shape and spend the last years of their lives as fit and healthy as possible. An older horse's body changes slowly, making extra attention to nutrition increasingly important. Muscle mass decreases, metabolism becomes less efficient and the function of liver and kidneys decreases. This reduces the absorption of protein, phosphorus and fiber from the diet. To old horses healthy as long as possible, many aspects must be taken into account.

Subli Seniores Priores is specially developed for horses and ponies that have problems with the absorption of common horse feeds such as hay, silage, chunks, grains, mueslis, et cetera. These problems are generally caused by dental problems.

Horses and ponies, for their state of health and well-being, must eat sufficient amounts of roughage daily. The intestinal system is geared to process large amounts of plant material with sufficient structure (crude fiber). If due to circumstances, such as bad teeth, this cannot be absorbed, the horse or pony has a big problem.

Subli Horse Feeds has succeeded in developing a special feed that replaces both roughage and concentrate and is therefore a complete feed. Every horse and pony (including those with major dental problems) can easily absorb this product. Subli Seniores Priores should always be fed soaked.

Nutrition can summer eczema not fight it directly. With proper nutrition, you may be able to reduce the problem, or at least not make it worse. It is important not to overload your horse with too much concentrate feed because the body is already burdened by an allergic reaction. Choose a feed product that is low in sugar and starch. The Subli Diet Mix meets these requirements.

Research shows that supplementing omega 3 fatty acids in the ration can have an anti-inflammatory effect, reducing itching and allergy. The Subli Omega 369 Mix contains many omega 3 fatty acids.

Regular muscle stiffness should be taken seriously and requires extra attention to rations and training to improve or better yet, prevent it.

Muscle pain can result from muscle strength that needs to become available quickly. In the process, lactic acid is produced. Lactic acid must be broken down and drained again. Vitamin E and vitamin C support the removal of lactic acid and thus help keep muscles supple. Subli Omega 369 Mix Contains an extra high dose of vitamins E and C.

For optimal results, the total ration must be well balanced. That is, it must match the requirements depending on the circumstances. For (top) sport horses, among other things, a proper distribution of the energy suppliers sugar, starch, crude fiber and oil is necessary. Subli Omega 369 Mix is a highly concentrated energy supplement for horses and ponies based on a very high content of vegetable oils.

Advantages of oil over starch and sugar as an energy supplier:

• The digestion of oils in the small intestine is good
• Oil contains a lot of energy, so less kgs needed
• Muscles burn more fatty acids for energy supply
• With hard labor, less lactic acid enters the blood
• Saves glycogen (glucose that the body stores to consume at a later time)
• Less rigidity

When horses are mineral deficient they sometimes eat sand or manure. This may be during a period of lower resistance. We see this in autumn and winter, among other periods. A part of the horses in the Netherlands has enough on ample and good roughage. Especially in terms of energy and protein. The first thing horses that eat sand or manure lack, and you only see this later, are vitamins, minerals and trace elements. A Subli Minerals Lick Bucket can fill these deficits.

Is your horse or pony's coat not so nice? Is he dull and not shiny like you would like? Various feed ingredients can affect this.

Supplementing vegetable oils supports a healthy and shiny coat. This can be done, for example, with the Subli Omega 369 Mix. Deficiencies in essential nutrients can also be the reason for poor luster. There are several vitamins and minerals that play a role in the condition of the skin and hair. Biotin is very important for a shiny coat. The Subli Biotin Mix Can contribute to a shiny coat.

Feeding oil is not only very suitable for horses that are sensitive to a starchy (concentrate-rich) ration and as a result, for example, are prone to muscle stiffness, muscle weakness or colic. Hot and nervous horses can also benefit from a ration rich in fat. In general, horses become "less hot" from a high-fat ration than from a high-starch ration. To achieve the desired result, for these horses, some of the energy from starch will have to be replaced with oil.

A high-fat ration is also great for horses that need to perform for long periods of time, such as endurance and dressage horses. The energy from oil is released slowly, making it mainly suitable for endurance performance. An additional advantage of oil is that horses get more charisma and a nice shiny coat. Oil is therefore especially attractive for dressage riders: a nice shiny horse and enough energy to run the test nicely without hotness or loss of zest. Of course, this is not only a desirable situation for dressage riders.

Advantages of oil over starch and sugar as an energy supplier:

• The digestion of oils the in small intestine is good
• Oil contains a lot of energy, so less kgs needed

Sober breeds are more sensitive to sugars and starches than warmblood breeds and therefore develop obesity, insulin resistance and laminitis more quickly.

Austere breeds and other sensitive horses benefit from a ration that is low in sugars and starch. These breeds often do not need concentrates for energy supply. However, they do need to be supported with vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Subli Diet Mix is formulated without grains, grain by-products and molasses. As a result, the sugar and starch content is extremely low. At the same time, the crude fiber content is very high, as is the vitamin, mineral and trace element content.

If you expect more performance from your horse, you can supplement this ration with 50-100 grams of Subli Omega 369 Mix per 100 kg of body weight.

Proteins are made up of amino acids. Amino acids are the basis of all life on earth: without amino acids, no life is possible. In this sense, protein is also indispensable for the horse.

Performing, athletic, growing, pregnant and lactating horses need extra protein (or amino acids). Compared to some 15 years ago, today's roughages are often poorer in protein and certainly in the essential amino acids. To provide the performing horse with sufficient protein, Subli has developed the Subli Atleet developed. This is a protein/amino acid supplement for horses. You only need to feed a small amount of it: 0.3-0.5 kg per horse per day in addition to the existing ration is sufficient to provide the additional amino acids needed.

Ca (calcium) and P (phosphorus) are the most important bone minerals. These must be supplied in the correct ratio with the ration. This is because a skewed calcium/phosphorus ratio must be corrected by the body. This can cause long-term joint deformities. Therefore, it is important to provide Ca and P to horses in the right amount as well as in the right ratio. For mature, grown horses and ponies, the Ca/P ratio should be between 1.5/2:1; or in other words, there should be about 1.5 to 2 times as much calcium as phosphorus in the feed. For a growing foal, this ratio should be lower: about 1.5:1 (i.e., one and a half times as much calcium as phosphorus). Magnesium (Mg) should also be considered. In all Subli horse feeds the Ca/P/Mg ratio is such that it supports the animals' natural metabolism.

The most common cause of laminitis is a metabolic disorder, such as PPID (or Cushing's Disease) and EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome) and/or an improper ration. (Spring) grass can contain high levels of sugar and/or fructan. Combined with a concentrate feed, which contains high levels of sugar and starch, this can lead to disturbed bacterial flora in the blind and colon (or hindgut). With this disruption, the acidity of the gut drops, causing the good (or fiber-degrading) bacteria to die. When bacteria die, toxins are released that are absorbed by the intestinal wall into the blood. These toxins may eventually play a role in the development of laminitis.

A high-fiber ration is important for every horse, but keep in mind grazing on sugary spring grass. Adjust the ration to the horse's needs. A very suitable product is the Subli Diet Mix. This product has a very low sugar and starch content and also contains a postbiotic that supports normal digestion. Due to a lower energy content in this product, horses that need to perform more may need to be fed an energy supplement. A high-fat product, such as the Subli Omega 369 Mix extremely suitable.

Subli Diet Mix is a good feed for horses that should be fed little sugar and starch. This is because the Subli Diet Mix contains no grain and no molasses.

At the beginning of gestation, the foal grows slowly and the mare can normally make do with the usual ration. By this is meant a ration of roughage and concentrates appropriate to labor intensity. In the last months of gestation, minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, zinc and manganese become more important. From the eighth month of gestation, the usual concentrates can be replaced by Subli Mare Broth.

A horse's muscles consist largely of protein. Proteins are made up of amino acids. Of these, there are more than 20 types, common and less common. Some of them (the essential amino acids) are always needed to form muscle. The others can partially replace each other (non-essential). Performing, exercising and growing horses need extra protein, or amino acids. Compared to about 15 years ago, today's roughages are often poorer in protein and certainly in the essential amino acids.

Subli has the Subli Atleet developed. This is a protein/amino acid supplement for horses. The aim here was to achieve an optimal distribution of the essential amino acids. To achieve this, raw materials with a special amino acid composition have been chosen. To provide the additional required amino acids you only need to feed a little of it: 0,3-0,5 kg per horse per day. In addition, Subli Atleet is enriched with a complete vitamin, mineral and trace element mix. Extra vitamin E and selenium provide additional muscle support.

This depends greatly on the type of colic or surgery. Therefore, always ask your veterinarian for advice after such drastic incidents. After a colic attack or surgery, it is essential to start feeding roughage cautiously and not give any concentrate as long as the horse does not look lively, eat the roughage well or manure well. The Subli Seniores Priores can be a suitable supplement, as Subli Seniores Priores has a high crude fiber content and should be fed soaked. When in doubt, always consult a veterinarian.

Tying-up (or muscle soreness) is a phenomenon in which an excessive accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles leads to stiffness in the horse and a drastic decrease in performance ability. The manner and intensity at which muscle palsy occurs depends greatly on the horse itself, training, environmental factors and rations. Some horses are more susceptible to laminitis than others. There are also some breeds that are more susceptible to this. You should think about the austere breeds. It is important that these animals get less starch. The Subli Diet Mix is ideally suited for this. This can possibly be supplemented with the Subli Omega 369 Mix for more energy and with additions of vitamin E, vitamin C and selenium. Supplementing extra vitamin E and vitamin C makes sense for the removal of lactic acid formed to keep muscles supple. To utilize vitamin E, a horse also needs selenium.

Insulin's main function is to regulate blood sugar levels. During and after eating, blood sugar levels rise in a horse's body. Insulin then lowers blood sugar. Horses with insulin resistance produce a lot of insulin to process the sugars they absorb from the feed. A prolonged increase in insulin causes the cells to become insensitive to insulin, eventually rendering the horse unable to produce enough insulin to restore blood sugar levels. With insulin resistance, therefore, limit the amount of concentrate feed and, if possible, feed only a complete vitamin/mineral supplement. If you do supplement concentrates, choose the Subli Diet Mix because of its low sugar and starch content.

Research has shown that the cause of some intestinal problems (mild recurrent colic, weight loss and, for example, reduced performance) may be due to a gluten allergy. Horses with small intestinal problems may therefore benefit from gluten-free feed.

Subli Sportmuesli has a unique composition for all (top) performing horses. The versatile, tasty sports muesli contains prebiotic fiber, energy from oil, crude fiber and only gluten-free grains.

The Subli Seniores Priores must be fed soaked. If the horse cannot eat anything else, you should feed 1 kg Subli Seniores Priores per 100 kg of desired body weight. About 3 liters of water must be added per 1 kg of Subli Seniores Priores. This should be left to soak for 4 hours. You feed this product divided into a minimum of 4 portions per day.

Always feed sufficient roughage, at least 1 kg of dry matter per 100 kg of body weight. Supplement this with an amount of concentrate appropriate to the work required and the quality of the forage. This can be supported with 50 to 150 grams Subli Omega 369 Mix per 100 kg body weight. Introduce Subli Omega 369 Mix gradually, allowing the horse to get used to it. Your Subli dealer has a special measuring cup for the Subli Omega 369 Mix.

Subli Foal Broth is specially formulated for young foals up to +/- 1 year old. Subli Foal Broth is enriched with dairy products and pitted grains and is suitable to feed from the first week. Usually this is not necessary, because the mare produces enough milk for the foal and the foal often soon eats along from its mother's trough.

Where this is not possible or when the mare is not giving enough milk, it is advisable to supplement the foal from a special foal bowl. Mother's milk is poor in iron and copper, among other nutrients. However, these nutrients are very important for good, problem-free rearing, which is why timely supplementary feeding is advised.

Around weaning it is desirable that the foal eats 2 to 3 kg per day to prevent the so-called weaning dip. After weaning, in addition to the Subli Foal Broth, good nutritious roughage is advised (grass, silage, hay). When the foal is 10 to 12 months old, it can be switched to the Subli Mare Broth.

Research has shown that the cause of some intestinal problems (mild recurrent colic, weight loss and, for example, reduced performance) may be due to a gluten allergy. Horses with small intestinal problems may therefore benefit from gluten-free feed.

Subli Sportmuesli has a unique composition suitable for all (top) performing horses. The versatile, palatable sports muesli contains prebiotic fiber and energy from oil, crude fiber and only gluten-free grains.
