These changes require adapted feeding, ranging from easily digestible roughage and high-quality nutrients to the targeted use of feed supplements. Many older horses become unbalanced more quickly due to feeding mistakes. Often, the causes are preventable, such as insufficient roughage quality or concentrate feed that places more strain on the digestive tract than it provides benefit. As horses age, their bodies react more sensitively to such influences. A well\u2011balanced diet tailored to the individual needs can therefore make a decisive contribution to their wellbeing.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
