{"title":"Equine Vit\u0026Min","description":"\u003cp\u003eEquine Vit\u0026amp;Min (EVM) is an Australian vitamin and mineral range made by Farmalogic. Every product here does the same job — supply what a forage-based equine diet leaves short — and they differ in how hard the horse is working and what the pasture is doing to the mineral balance. You feed one of them, not several.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStart with the workload.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/products\/evm-essentials\"\u003eEVM Essentials\u003c\/a\u003e is for mature horses spelling or in light to moderate work: riding horses, companions, retirees. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/evm-premium-blend\"\u003eEVM Premium Blend\u003c\/a\u003e lifts the nutrient levels for competitive athletes, breeding stock, foals and ageing horses. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/evm-omega-3-plus\"\u003eEVM Omega-3 Plus\u003c\/a\u003e is the Premium base with algae-sourced omega-3 added, and earns its extra cost only if the horse has little fresh pasture or is on an omega-6 heavy hard feed. Check the serve size when comparing prices — Omega-3 Plus feeds at 90g a day against 60g for the Premium Blend, so the packs do not last the same length of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThen check the pasture.\u003c\/strong\u003e If your horse grazes kikuyu, buffel, setaria or another high-oxalate C4 grass, dietary calcium is being bound up before the horse can absorb it, and a standard balancer will not fix that. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/evm-tropical-blend\"\u003eEVM TropiCAL Blend\u003c\/a\u003e supplies 31.3g of calcium per serve to correct the ratio, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/evm-tropical-pro-blend\"\u003eEVM TropiCAL Pro Blend\u003c\/a\u003e adds vitamins and live yeast for performance, breeding and growing horses on the same pasture. If your pasture is not high-oxalate, the extra calcium is wasted and Essentials or Premium Blend is the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/evm-premium-balancer-pellets\"\u003eEVM Premium Balancer Pellets\u003c\/a\u003e are the Premium Blend nutrition as a low-NSC lucerne pellet at 1.6% starch. They exist for horses that sift powders out of the feed bin and for fussy eaters, and they suit laminitic and insulin-resistant horses — but at 200–250g a day for a standard horse the 10kg bag empties much faster than a 20kg box of powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-supplies\"\u003eHorse Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/health-care\"\u003eHealth Care\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/collections\/equine-vit-min.oembed","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
