About this listen

In our last episode, we explored how horses manage their body temperature and what happens when they experience heat stress. Now, we're diving into how to adjust their diet during hot weather! In this episode we discuss:

  • hay adjustments to reduce metabolic heat,
  • the impact of high-protein diets on hydration,
  • whether or not your horse needs a biotic,
  • and so much more!

Plus, we'll cover crucial summer nutrients like chromium, the difference between salt and electrolytes, and how to manage electrolyte needs. We'll also share tips for safe feed storage and the importance of keeping those feed tubs clean!
