Why Opti-Min provides the best horse minerals and quality vitamins for New Zealand horses

Opti-Min offers the best horse minerals, vitamins, amino acids, salt and the proven prebiotic yeast “saccharomyces cerevisiae” all in one supplement.

Crafted perfectly for New Zealand conditions where our pasture is deficient or not well balanced in certain minerals. New Zealand soil shows some minerals are found in excess such as iron and manganese whilst others are in shortfall such as iodine, sodium, copper, zinc and selenium. Vitamins can also be in shortfall with grass or forage restriction or when older hay is fed.

The diet of most New Zealand horses consists of pasture and often hard feed rations or hay. Some horses may require dietary restrictions with less grass and more hay, or even a hay only diet for those that struggle with obesity or laminitis. These feed restrictions mean your horse will be lower or deficient in some vitamins and minerals. If the overall diet is not corrected and balanced accordingly, poor quality hooves, coats, lower immunity and performance will begin to show.

A good diet should cover sufficient fats and oils, quality protein, fibre and carbohydrates (for harder working horses) as well as vitamins and minerals. To help balance the diet Opti-min our best horse minerals and vitamins are recommended to make up nutritional shortfalls for optimal nutrition.
