What are OKAPI Wild Seed Munchies?
The feeding of starch is becoming increasingly problematic for many horses, especially those of heavier breeds or those that are less active, as is becoming more apparent. Starch is converted into sugar in the small intestine, which is then absorbed directly into the bloodstream, raising blood sugar levels. If this sugar is not immediately used for muscle work, such feeding can lead to long-term health issues, including insulin resistance, EMS, or PSSM. However, completely removing grain from the diet also means missing out on valuable proteins and fatty acids that are normally included in concentrated feeds. OKAPI Wild Seed Munchies provide the perfect solution! We use only oilseeds for these biscuits, which contain high levels of beneficial oils, proteins, and some mucilaginous substances, but are completely starch-free. The balanced seed mix ensures a wide range of fatty acids, similar to what horses would naturally consume. Plus, they taste absolutely delicious! A highly sought-after reward for outstanding performance, even for horses on a starch-free diet.
Is OKAPI Wild Seed Munchies suitable for my horse?
The OKAPI Wild Seed Munchies are especially suitable for underweight horses, such as blood-type horses, older animals, or horses that come from suboptimal feeding conditions. They provide a calorie-dense reward and are ideal for horses that need additional energy.
