Feeding Farrier’s Formula\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0to an older horse, even though he does not have hoof problems, has many benefits.<\/strong> One of the problems in feeding the aging horse is that mastication (chewing) of feed becomes less efficient, and after the feed reaches the digestive tract, nutrient absorption is diminished.\u00a0Also, the connective tissue, including skin, hoof, bone, tendons, and muscle, is not as strong and healthy as in younger horses.\u00a0Another geriatric problem is that metabolism, and therefore activity, is often slowed due to decreased levels of thyroid hormone (thyroxin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the Older Horse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Farrier’s Formula\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0addresses the above problems by improving feed efficiency and the quality of the feed given to horses. It also improves aging and weakened connective tissues by providing the nutrients necessary to build strong, healthy collagen. For many aging horses that are less active due to decreased amounts of thyroxin, Farrier’s Formula\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0has iodine and the essential amino acid tyrosine, which are the necessary building blocks for the thyroid gland to manufacture thyroxin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
