Feeding Sprouts to Horses
Fresh sprouts grown in a FodderTech system offer nutritional advantages for horses. Horses are grazing animals. Adding fresh grass to horses helps them to better health and performance.
Advantages of Sprouts
Feeding sprouts to horses offers:
- Better performance in race horses
- Improved coat and general appearance
- Lower feed bills
- Less incidence of colic and gut ulcers
- Lower vet costs
- Gentler, calmer animals
- Faster recovery after exertion
Research with Horses
Race horses were fed sprouts over the course of a 3 month trial. Here was the response of derby horses consuming FodderTech sprouts:
- 87% increase in herd placing (8% – 15%)
- Youngest horse the herd had ever had place in a race
Sprouts were not grown for a few weeks (sick operator) and the placing had an immediate reduction down to just 7%. Once the system was put back into operation the placings returned up to 15% for the herd.
