We now know better! Scientific studies have now shown that these numbers are outdated. And that a horse needs at least double the amount of roughage to keep their body healthy and feel satisfied. Naturally, a horse will eat even more roughage.

And that means that when horses are given double the amount of roughage, the sugar and protein intake also doubles. This sheds a new light on feeding concentrates. The necessary supplementation to the roughage must be adjusted so that the intestinal flora can be balanced and horses and ponies do not become overweight but can continue to feel fit and healthy.
