IIntroduction

It is well known that the Arabian Peninsula is the main homeland for the Arabian horse. Furthermore Arabs and Muslims always consider cavalry and viewed horses as a symbol of strength and beauty. The Kingdom has also participated successfully in international cavalry sports and horse shows.
ARASCO has built close relationship with outstanding stables in the kingdom and committed itself to produce horse feeds according to the highest standards of quality. Extensive studies have been carried out to produce horse feeds for different stages of production. Those efforts are supported by ARASCO’S central laboratories using the latest and most advanced analytical equipment and techniques.. More ...

• General feeding advices for improvement of nutritional efficiency to satisfy the physiological requirements of the horses.
• Since the horse’s stomach is small, its need of solid food is limited. For this reason, rations should be offered in small amounts 3-4 times daily.
• Feed should be offered first and then dry clover.
• Growing foals nedd more nutrition than a grown horse in order to build its body tissues. A pregnant and lactating mare needs more protein and minerals.
• Avoid giving powder feeds because it could cause repiratory problems.
• Avoid offering moist or rotten feed. Many breeders offer washed barley, that is moist and this causes fermentation in the animal’s stomach leading to pain and indigestion and probably death.
• Avoid sudden changes in the horse’s feed. When necessary, change should happen gradually within a week’s time.
• Feeding should be offered to each horse separately. In order to know the preferences of each horse, and to be able to discern any change to the horse’s appetite or feeding behavior. As food quantity consumed is an indicator of health problems.
• Concentrated feeds must not be offered immediately after or before physical exertion.
• Food and drinking troughs should be always clean.
• Teeth should be regularly examined, at least once a year.
• Feet and hooves should be regularly examined.
• Each horse should take its share of exercise and training.
• Ensuring that clean, sweet water is provided must never be overlooked. Be sure to monitor its quality and temperature, as well as its quantity. Bearing in mind that the need for water varies according to the weather, type of training and the type of feed.
• Do not offer feed by hand, this method will teach the horse to bite.
• Your horse should receive a yearly inoculation against flu, rhinopneumonia, tetanus and Rabies.
• Stables should be cleaned and disinfected several times a year, in order to fight bacteria, viruses and fungi.

• ARASCO HORSE FEED is enriched with Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and trace elements (Iron, Selenium, Cobalt, Copper, Iodine, Sulphur, and Zinc). It restores the horses stamina, splendor and equilibrium.
• ARASCO ELECTROLYTES, MINERALS, YEAST AND PROBIOTIC:
  ( Yeas sac, Bioplex  minerals, Biomoss, Beneficial Bacteria )
  
  1. Optimizes the efficiency of the daily ration.
  2. Natural active bio regulator for digestion and maintains the balance of the intestinal flora activity in the digestive system.
  3. It helps to keep the horse in good condition: better recovery from effort, reduction in stress (transport, competition), more regular digestion, glossy healthy coat, and sleek coat pliable (elastic skin). 
  4. Mares recover more quickly after foaling.
  5. Better appetite, improvement of weight.
  6. Foals have fewer problems during weaning (stress).

• Young Foals can be supplemented at rate of (1.0 – 1.5% body weight) 1 – 1.5 kg / 100 kg Bw, without risk of over feeding and development of bone abnormalities. If foals are growing fast, chance of epiphysitis (open, wide, hollow knees) contracted tendon. This requires restriction of the growth rate for a period of 3 – 4 weeks without affecting the size at yearling age. Either cutting supplementary feed or reducing intake by 25% for 3 – 4 weeks can do this.
• As a guideline most weanlings should have a minimum body weight gain of 500 – 600g daily at 5 – 6 months. Early weaned foals should gain 750g daily until 6 months to ensure adequate development.
• Although feeding higher amounts of carbohydrates in concentrates will boost growth rate; excessive body weight may increase the risk of bone, joint and tendon development problems.
• Essential vitamins and trace minerals, including selenium for health and muscle development and good supplement of vitamin E is beneficial in weanlings destined to be performance horses.
• Feed on an individual basis. Poorly conditioned yearling may benefit from extra feed, such as 1.5 kg of good rolled barley in the evening feed. However, as energy is increased, the amount of exercise must also be increased to avoid swollen legs and symptoms of contracted tendons.
  Very fat youngsters should be placed on a maintenance diet and exercise increased to slim body weights without excessive stress on the limbs resulting in joint and leg problems.

• Nutritious food supplement/amendment for horses with high requirements.
• Mineral supplemented feed for sport and jumping horses, brood mares, foals, stallions and racehorses.

• High levels of vitamins are needed to meet elevated needs for energy utilization.
• Adequate level of trace minerals is essential to ensure growth and health of horses.
• This ration has been formulated for racing horses in early training, jogging or conditioning work up to 40 minutes daily.
• Protein, that is of high biological value, helps the growth of babies during pregnancy, improves lactation and plays a part in the formation and the dynamicity of the sperm.

• Foals have fewer problems during weaning (stress).

• Whilst the energy level in the ration must be adequate to maintain body weight and match requirements for exercise, excess energy can make a horse more “Fizzy” and increase the risk of problems such as “flying up”.
• Protein provides the building blocks (amino acids) for growth and development of muscles and blood as well as continuous repair of bone and muscle tissue during racing.
• Most trainers feed ration’s with moderate to high level of protein (12 – 14%) early in training to help build muscle, bone and blood. Once horses start racing on a regular basis, protein levels can be decreased to 10 – 12% with no effect on over all performance.
