Overview F
Fat
Fats are high-quality energy storage substances in the body and, alongside hay, an important source of energy in grain-free feeding.
Feed restriction
The opposite of ad libitum feeding is restrictive, i.e. limited, feeding. Feed restriction is necessary for obese or good doer animals.
Fibre-fat feeding
Fibre-fat feeding refers to grain-free horse feed with energy from oils and fat-containing ingredients. Horses with conditions such as stomach problems, Cushing’s or PSSM can be fed according to their performance requirements, while remaining gentle on the metabolism, with this approach.
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are a subgroup of polyphenols or secondary plant compounds. Almost all plant pigments belong to this group. They are particularly valuable in nutrition due to their antioxidant properties, among others.
Folic acid
The chemical name for vitamin B9 is folic acid. It is important for cell division and maturation, particularly for the formation of blood cells and in embryonic development.
