Trace minerals are nutrients often forgotten about by horse owners. This may be due to not understanding their importance. This week's podcast highlights what trace minerals are and why they are important for your horse. Some trace minerals, like selenium, have received a lot of attention by nutritionists, feed companies and the like. On the other hand, trace minerals like copper and zinc may not receive as much "press", even though they are just as important. We explain the importance of these trace minerals, as well as where your horse is receiving them from and why every horse needs additional nutritional support beyond forage. This is an important topic for every horse owner! This podcast is brought to you by Tribute Superior Equine Nutrition.
