Product Description
What is OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort?
Mash has a long tradition in horse feeding and was already used by our great-grandparents in certain situations. For example, it was given to horses recovering from serious illness, such as colic. Although a horse might have survived the colic itself, it could sometimes be too exhausted afterwards to start eating normally again.
Mash was also traditionally given as a precaution to horses prone to colic, for example during sudden changes in the weather. Horses pushed to the point of extreme exhaustion, such as during wartime, were also given mash. Traditionally, mash was therefore often prepared at times of severe physical stress.
OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort has been specially developed as a grain-free feed for horses with sensitive digestion. Changes in the weather, hot and humid conditions or stress can all place additional demands on the digestive system. This mash provides natural support for digestion while remaining completely grain-free.
Is OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort suitable for my horse?
Yes. OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort is suitable for horses whose digestion reacts sensitively to external influences such as changes in the weather or stress.
It is particularly suitable for horses with sensitive digestion or those that are sensitive to grain and provides natural nutritional support.
Can I combine OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort with other products?
Yes. OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort can be combined with other feeds without any problems. It can be used as part of a balanced ration or alongside herbs and other feed supplements.
Always follow the feeding recommendations for any additional products to avoid an excessive intake of individual nutrients.
Feeding recommendations
How long can I feed OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort?
OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort can be fed daily as needed. For horses with sensitive digestion, or during more demanding periods such as changes in the weather or intensive training, it can be included in the ration for a longer period.
During particularly demanding phases it can be fed daily, while at quieter times feeding can be reduced to two or three times a week.
How do I prepare OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort?
Preparation is simple. Add around 350 g to a feed bucket and pour over approximately 1 litre of warm water.
Leave the mash to soak for 15–20 minutes. Once it has cooled to a lukewarm temperature, it is ready to feed.
Always make sure the mash has fully soaked and expanded before feeding.
How do I calculate the right amount for my horse?
To calculate the appropriate amount of OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort for your horse, follow these steps:
1. Determine your horse’s weight
Your horse’s weight can be determined using scales, a weight tape or an app such as the BCI App from Sanoanimal, available free of charge from Google Play and the Apple App Store.
2. Use the feeding recommendation as your starting point
The general feeding recommendation for OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort is based on a horse weighing 600 kg. The recommended daily amount is 350 g.
3. Adjust the amount to your horse’s weight
For example, for a horse weighing 300 kg:
350 g ÷ 600 kg × 300 kg = 175 g per day
This calculation can be used to determine the appropriate amount of OKAPI Mash Grain-Free Digestive Comfort for horses of different weights.
