What are OKAPI Rose Hips?
OKAPI Rose Hips are a high-quality complementary feed for horses, made from whole, dried rose hips. They contain natural oils and are especially beneficial during the coat change and in the winter months. Rose hips can be sprinkled over feed or hay and provide a healthy way to keep horses occupied. They are a natural source of vitamins and help promote the animals’ overall well-being.
Is OKAPI Rose Hips suitable for my horse??
OKAPI Rose Hips are generally suitable for all horses, as they offer a natural, nutrient-rich supplement. They are free from grains, additives such as preservatives, and essential oils, making them particularly well tolerated. Rose hips are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fibre, which can help support the horse’s immune system and overall health. These properties also make them suitable for good doers that do not require additional concentrates. Rose hips can be a valuable addition to the daily feed ration, as long as they are offered in appropriate quantities.
Can I combine OKAPI Rose Hips with other products?
OKAPI Rose Hips can be easily combined with other products to complement your horse’s diet.
How long should I feed OKAPI Rose Hips?
OKAPI Rose Hips should ideally be fed over a period of 4 to 8 weeks, especially during the coat change or in the winter months. However, regular feeding can be adjusted as needed, depending on the horse’s condition and individual requirements.
How is OKAPI Rose Hips fed?
OKAPI Rose Hips can be fed in a variety of ways to enrich your horse’s diet. They can be given as a treat directly by hand or mixed into the daily feed. Another option is to sprinkle them over the hay to encourage foraging behaviour. Alternatively, they can be scattered in the paddock to provide additional stimulation and keep the horse engaged.
How do I calculate the correct dosage for my horse?
To calculate the appropriate dosage of OKAPI Rose Hips for a horse, you can follow these steps:
Determine the horse’s weight:
The horse’s weight can be estimated using a scale, a weight tape, or a dedicated app such as the BCI App by Sanoanimal (free to download from the Google Play and Apple Store).
Follow the feeding recommendation:
The general recommendation for OKAPI Rose Hips is based on a horse weighing 600 kg. The suggested amount is 5 to 10 rose hips per day.
Adjust the dose:
• For a horse weighing 300 kg, the amount should be halved, which equals approximately 2.5 to 5 rose hips per day.
• For a horse weighing 450 kg, the correct dose can be calculated as follows:
(5 to 10 rose hips / 600 kg) × 450 kg,
which results in a daily amount of 3.75 to 7.5 rose hips.
This calculation method allows you to tailor the daily rose hip quantity to suit your horse’s individual weight.
