TO KNOW
Increasing the frequency of concentrate distribution improves assimilation of oils and minerals1.
Increasing the frequency of concentrate distribution lowers the postprandial glycaemia and insulinaemia, and normalises serum leptin (satiety hormone) concentrations1-3. This allows the horse’s metabolism to get closer to what it is when out at grass and grazing2.
