Forage Analysis
Forage is the foundation of the equine diet. The nutrient content will influence how the horse will respond and thrive. Our Equine Field Reps are equipped with a portable handheld NIR device to instantly scan and analyze a hay sample. Reveal® technology analyzes key nutrients in the hay and provides a basic analysis including Protein, ADF, NDF, etc. – in less than 10 minutes! The hay’s macronutrient data is entered into our proprietary Equine MAX™ software, as well as your horse’s current diet, body condition and topline score. Our Equine Field Reps use this to build full diet recommendations to support the horse’s unique nutritional needs, overall health and performance.

Diet Evaluation & Recommendations
A balanced diet plays an important role in supporting the health and well-being of your clients’ horses. Our equine nutrition experts can help evaluate individual needs and develop tailored feeding programs, including for horses with special nutritional considerations such as PSSM, kidney disease, Equine Metabolic Syndrome, post-operative care, laminitis, HYPP, and more.

Water Analysis
Water quality is an important, but often overlooked, part of equine nutrition. When other dietary factors have been evaluated, water analysis can provide additional insight into the horse’s total diet. Understanding the mineral content of water can help you and your clients make more informed nutrition and management decisions.
