Forage analysis

Forage is the foundation of the ration. That’s why it is essential to know the exact quality and nutrient levels of your forage. Only then can you be sure that your horse or pony is receiving everything it needs.

What's in your horse or pony's forage?

To be certain your horse or pony is receiving enough nutrients, it’s important to know whether the foundation, your forage, contains sufficient nutritional value. Of course, you can smell and feel to judge whether the forage is good, but only through analysis can you truly know what’s inside.

Test your forage with the Voermeesters Forage Analysis

That’s why Voermeesters offers the Forage Analysis. With this analysis, you gain insight into the nutrient levels of your forage and know whether your horse or pony is getting everything it needs. Based on the results, you can adjust the ration to prevent deficiencies. Our customer service team will personally contact you to explain the results and provide tailored advice, so you can perfectly match the ration to your horse’s or pony’s needs.
