\"Farrier's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup>Double Strength<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>is 27% protein. The protein in Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup>Double Strength<\/em>\u00a0is derived from three main sources. A main ingredient and the largest contributor of protein is soy protein concentrate, which contains 66% protein. Methionine, yeast culture, and to a lesser degree alfalfa also contribute to crude protein levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A horse consuming 11 lbs. of a 13% protein feedstuff per day is consuming 650 grams of protein per day, and this is often a poor-quality protein. Add 20 lbs. of hay or equivalent pasture and the horse consumes approximately 2000 grams of crude protein per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparison, a \u00bd cup (85 gram) serving of Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae <\/sup>Double Strength<\/em> provides only 23 grams of protein per day \u2013 an insignificant level of protein compared to the total daily intake of crude protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crude protein is calculated from a measurement of the amount of nitrogen in the feedstuff. Amino acids contain nitrogen and are therefore labeled as \u201ccrude protein\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amino Acids and Protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amino acids combine together to form protein, and are therefore the building blocks of protein. Poor quality proteins may contain an abundance of some amino acids, but a deficiency of other amino acids. The lack of an amino acid blocks the formation of a protein that requires that particular amino acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-quality protein diets contain amino acids that are present in sufficient quantities and proper ratios for the efficient formation of protein. Soy protein concentrate is high in the amino acids that are often the most deficient in an equine diet, so when soy protein concentrate is supplemented these amino acids increase the utilization of other amino acids in the diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, lysine is an amino acid that is present in less than ideal amounts in hay and pasture grasses, and therefore deficient in most horses\u2019 diets. Lysine is the \u201cweak link\u201d and prevents other amino acids in the diet from being utilized to build tissue proteins. Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae <\/sup>Double Strength<\/em> contains relatively high levels of lysine, improving the utilization of other dietary proteins by providing this \u201cweak link\u201d amino acid. The lysine in Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae <\/sup>Double Strength<\/em> is derived from the soy protein concentrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methionine and Crude Protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Methionine, another example of an amino acid weak in typical equine diets, is added to Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae <\/sup>Double Strength<\/em> to provide building blocks for strong connective tissue growth. Methionine, like lysine and the other amino acids, adds to the \u201ccrude protein\u201d levels that are reported on the product label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae <\/sup>Double Strength<\/em> does not create the \u201chot\u201d horse that is associated with high protein feedstuffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farrier\u2019s Formula\u00ae <\/sup>Double Strength<\/em> fortifies the nutrients important for a healthy hoof that are weak in the diet, including amino acids and nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, phospholipids, and fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
