British Horse Feeds Launch New Natural Country Veteran Care™ Mix

Following an extensive period of research British Horse Feeds has launched Veteran Care™ Mix, within their popular Natural Country Range.

Using their understanding of biochemistry and physiology in the older horse, coupled with an in depth knowledge of nutrient profiles, British Horse Feeds has produced a functional feed that will off-set, as far as possible, age related changes (including changes that are mechanical, digestive, physiological and immunological).

Formulated specifically for the mature digestive system, the New Veteran Care™ Mix has a fibre profile ideal for the older horse. The high specification of carefully selected, natural ingredients includes Speedi-Beet (that also works as a probiotic), plant extracts (to combat the negative effects in hindgut fermentation), 100% of key minerals in a natural form and enhanced vitamin and antioxidant levels to maintain optimum uptake, maintain the integrity of the gut wall and nutritionally assist natural defences.

Inclusion of whole milk also provides ideal protein, highly available lactose and essential oils. Protein levels are formulated to provide optimum levels of essential amino acids, in particular lysine and methionine, to match the changing physiology of the ageing horse.


Support for bones is available thanks to the added Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) which helps to maintain bone accretion. Yucca Saponins ‘mop up’ fermentative end products reducing their adsorption across the hindgut, many of which have been implicated in joint cartilage destruction.

Cereals in the feed are precision micronized to maximise small intestine digestion and starch levels have been partly replaced with highly available disaccharides. Highly available sugars and protein ensure ease of digestion and the mix can be fed wet as an aid for poor dentition.

RRP for a 20kg bag of Veteran Care™ Mix is around £9.90.
