Hoffman’s Horse Products is a line of fiber friendly feeds that have been designed with specific high quality ingredients using nutritional technology, which allow the horses system to utilize the full potential of the nutrients from not just the ration, but the forages that are being fed to the horse on farm. The Hoffman’s line offers a feed for every horse

designed to meet their specific needs to help them excel and reach their full potential.

Specialized nutritional additives have been used in this line of Hoffman’s Horse Products. These include, but are not limited to, B vitamins, fat digestion aids, ZinPro® complexed minerals, organic selenium, Diamond V® yeast, and amino acids. With the nutritional technology that has been used in these products, along with being fed a high level of forage, all of the essential and sophisticated nutritional requirements of the horse will be taken care of in as small

a supplemental package as possible.

Hoffman’s Horse Products have been on the market since 1994 and by improving the health and performance of many horses along the way, Hoffman’s has gained the respect and trust of horse owners across Canada.

Hoffman’s Horse Products is manufactured at Country Junction Feeds in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Country Junction Feeds is a reputable company being established in 1917. This experience and their commitment to top quality can be seen

in Hoffman’s Horse Products.

B VitaminsAll feeds will have all B-vitamins added. Even though the feeds are developed to maximize microbial synthesis of these vitamins, we add in significant levels of such critical B-vitamins, such as biotin for hoof building.

Fat Digestion AidsAll feeds with higher levels of fat (greater than 4% total) will have fat digestion aids built into the feed to enhance fat absorption and digestion. These will include phosphatydyl-choline and choline.

ZinPro® Complexed MineralsThese trace minerals (cobalt, copper, manganese and zinc) are added into the Hoffman’s Horse rations because they are more biologically available to the horse. High levels of minerals that interfere with absorption of regular trace minerals do not affect the ZinPro® complexed minerals. An example would be high levels of iron found in many hay samples.

Organic seleniumA portion of the selenium in all Hoffman’s Horse rations contain organic selenium from Diamond V®. This is to ensure better absorption of selenium and much better utilization within the body.

Diamond V® yeastDiamond V® Yeast is added to all Hoffman’s Horse rations. It is added to enhance the growth of the bacteria in the hind gut. The enhanced growth of these bacteria will enable better digestion of forages and fibers in general. This will result in better energy available to the horse. In general, this will allow us to feed a lower amount of ration and still be able to consistently provide a balanced energy to the horse.

Amino Acids Amino Acids are added to most of the Hoffman’s Horse rations to keep the crude protein levels low while providing the essential building blocks of the protein to be adequate for the performance desired.

Magnesium ChelateThe use of this magnesium chelate in Hoffman’s Horse rations allows for greater absorption.

When feeding a Hoffman’s Horse Product, if your horse is receiving a high level of forage, all of the essential and sophisticated nutritional requirements of your horse have been taken care of in as small a supplemental package as is possible.

All Hoffman’s Horse Products are made in accordance with the Ractopamine-Free Certification Program and all Hoffmans Horse Products are manufactured in ionophore-free facilities

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS

FEEDING DIRECTIONS

Free Choice: Place Hoffman’s Horse Mineral in an open mineral feeder, protected from the elements. Place one feeder for every 10-15 head. Initially, remove all sources of salt. Place enough mineral for 2 to 3 days consumption in the feeder(s). Monitor intake. If mineral intake exceeds 200 grams per head per day, add salt blocks to the mineral feeder: approximately one block for every 10-15 head. Expected free choice consumption will be approximately 150-200 grams per head per day. This will vary depending on the condition of the horses, plane of nutrition, age, weight, weather conditions and sex of the horse.

Top Dressing: Hoffman’s Horse Mineral may also be top-dressed on the horse’s daily grain allowance. Top dress 150-200 grams for mature horses. For best results, top dress in two equal daily feedings. At all times allow horses access to clean water and adequate good quality, dust-free forage.
