Quality Assurance

We strive to provide the highest quality products for our customers and their equine athletes.

Prohibited substances continue to affect the equine industry resulting in disqualifications, investigations and damage to reputations.

The British Equine Trade Association developed a scheme to provide assurance, against prohibited substances in 2009, BETA NOPS. Naturally occurring prohibited substances are “either naturally present within certain feed ingredients or which occur as a result of inadvertent cross contamination during processing before arriving at the feed manufactures facility”, these are listed in the BETA NOPS code. As an approved member of the NOPS Assurance Scheme, Bluegrass Horse Feeds is confident to provide high quality products that contain no traces of prohibited substances.

Managing Laminitis

Laminitis is unfortunately known commonly by horse and pony owners. The distinctive stance and lameness characteristics of this disease are widely recognised. However management and prevention are vague topics.

There are several causes of laminitis. It is a disease which dosen’t just occur with obese horses which is something many horse owners believe. This disease can be a secondary condition to systemic diseases and hormonal unbalances such as Equine Cushing’s Disease (PPID) or Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). Concussive trauma, excessive weight bearing e.g. obesity and gastrointestinal illnesses such as colic, are all contributing factors. During laminitis, the cells of the laminae within the hoof wall do not receive sufficient nutrients from the blood supply, which in turn lead to inflammation and deterioration of the cells, eventually resulting in cell death. In severe cases this damage can result in the digital phalanx (pedal bone) rotating and penetrating the sole of the hoof. After veterinary treatment, managing a lamintic horse is primarily influenced by its diet. Lush grass, excessive carbohydrates and an unbalanced ration are all things to be avoided.

“Chronic Laminitis requires owners to provide vigilant care and develop a basic understanding of forage nutrition” (Kentucky Equine Research Staff)

What to Feed? Bluegrass Horse Feeds Stamm 30 is designed to promote health and aid recovery. A premium protein, vitamin and mineral pack essential for the recovery of laminae after suffering from laminitis. The unique yeast cultures promote gastroinestinal health to increase bio-availability of critical elements required for recovery and maintenance of laminitc suffers.

Equine Gastric Ulcers




Equine Gastric Ulcers have been a common condition, reported in performance horses, however, in recent years, the prevalence in leisure horses has increased.

There are several factors contributing to the occurrence of this disease. The most commonly known are dietary factors; prolonged periods without food or the absence of feed before exercise. However, recent research has identified high levels of stress as an important contributing factor.

“While some gastric ulcers can go undetected and seem not to bother certain horses, other horses show a variety of clinical signs, including colic, diarrhea, poor appetite, dull coat, decreased performance and even behaviour

changes” (Kentucky Equine Research, Kathleen Crandell)

There are two types of Gastric Ulceration;

• Non-Glandular Ulcers; the dorsal region of the stomach lined in squamous epithelium. Ulcerations occur due to extended exposure to acidic secretions.

• Glandular Ulcers; the ventral region comprised of glandular epithelium. Ulceration occurs due to an erosion of the mucosa lining, sometimes a side effect of medication.

What to Feed? Bluegrass Re-Solve is a low starch & glycemic feed, containing Stamm 30 and the high fat bran supplement Equi-jewel. Due to the low starch content it produces a low glycemic response, which ideal for horses with digestive disorders.

Bluegrass Re-Solve and Re-leve are products both formulated and tested for horses suffering or prone to gastric ulcers.

Tying-up




External Rhabdomyolysis, also known as Tying-up, has been known to affect performance and racing horses for years. The condition causes muscle soreness and stiffness.

In severe cases, pain causes an unwillingness to move or bear weight, males often present a posture as if to urinate. Increased heart rate, respiration rate and excessive sweating may also be observed.

In extreme cases horses can pass dark, red- brown coloured urine (myoglobinuria). There are various factors believed to induce external rhabdomyolysis; excessive exercise and muscle strain, hormonal imbalance, vitamin and mineral imbalance and electrolyte imbalance.

How to manage this disorder? A structured exercise routine, daily turnout (including rest days), sufficient electrolyte supplementation and a balanced diet.

Studies conducted by Kentucky Equine Research investigating the effect of Bluegrass Re-leve on recurrent external rhabdomyolysis (RER) suffers, showed horses which are fed Re-leve, have lower serum concentrations of creatine kinase (reflects muscle damage), post exercise to those fed high starch diets. Therefore, horses fed Bluegrass Re-leve, show less muscle damage post exercise.

What to Feed? Bluegrass Re-leve and Re-solve products are both formulated as low in starch, producing a slow release energy from the fat supplement Equi-Jewel. The low starch and low glycemic content reduces the risk and helps manage recurrent external rhabdomyolysis.

SeleniumDietary selenium is an important nutrient in the horse’s diet, supporting the immune response, membrane integratory, growth and reproduction. But, this important trace mineral can cause serious health issues if over or under supplemented in the diet. Selenium is naturally present in forages and grasses. It is a biological anti-oxidant, which is essential for horses during intense exercise that may induce oxidative stress, generating free radicals that can lead to tissue damage of the respiratory system and muscles.

What is the risk of a deficiency in selenium? Vitamin E and selenium both work intricately, if there is a deficiency in both it may lead to an increased risk of oxidative induced damage.

White muscle disease can occur in foals deficient in selenium and vitamin E, this disease affects skeletal and cardiac muscles. Common signs include, weakness, impaired locomotion, difficulty sucking and swallowing, respiratory distress and impaired cardiac function. What is the risk of a toxicity in selenium? Some areas of Ireland are known for higher soil levels of selenium such as south Tipperary or North Dublin. Chronic toxicity can occur for horses grazing or consuming forage harvested from the areas of high risk. It is recommended to perform soil and forage analysis yearly, especially in high risk areas.

Kathleen Crandell, equine nutritionist from Kentucky Equine Research warns, “selenium is toxic in high doses and horses with this status can show apparent blindness, head pressing, sweating, abdominal pain, colic, diarrhoea, increased heart and respiration rates and lethargy”.

Other common signs of selenium toxicity can be loss of mane and tail hair or cracked hooves particularly at the coronary band.

Bluegrass Zero Selenium Cube – Specialist FeedBluegrass Horse Feeds have formulated a premium horse cube along with Kentucky Equine Research to help horses suffering with selenium toxicity.

Contains biotin to help promote hoof and hair growth and linseed meal.

Forage should make up the main percentage of the horse’s diet as it is vital for optimum gastrointestinal health as well as being a main energy source. Some fibre sources available to our horses include; hay, haylage, grass, chaff or super fibres (Soya hulls and beet pulp). Fibre digestion occurs in the hind gut, known as hind gut fermenters. The cellulose within fibre cannot be fully broken down in the stomach and instead is digested in the large intestine, specifically the cecum by good bacteria, fungi and protozoa. This is a process known as microbial fermentation and can take up to 36 to 48 hours. As the fibre is digested heat is generated. Therefore feeding larger fibre meals in the winter is beneficial to keep your horses warm. High fibre diets also provide a buffer to the acidic conditions within the stomach, preventing health issues such as gastric ulcers. It is recommended to provide a minimum of 1.5 to 2% of body weight (kg) in forage per day.

Kentucky Equine Research recommend offering salt supplementation to the diet as forages and feeds typically have low levels of salt. Sweating results in the loss of electrolytes from the body which causes fluid disturbances and mineral imbalances. The voluntary intake of salt ranges from 0 to 62mg/day/ kg of bodyweight as reported in recent studies. Offering a free choice of salt intake for example; from a non- flavoured salt lick, should be provided at all times. If a deficency in salt is present they will seek from other sources such as eating soil or chewing wood.

Water is an important nutrient to our horse’s diet that is often over looked. A study conducted by Kentucky Equine Research found water intake increased on higher forage fed diets. It is important to remember that excess salt and protein in the diet will also lead to increased water intake. Fresh water sources are highly important, horses will not drink dirty or contaminated water which can lead to dehydration or colic.
