Product Description

OKAPI Wild Berries is a high-quality supplementary feed for horses, made from a mix of various dried berries. It provides natural vitamins and secondary plant compounds that support the natural metabolism. The blend includes blueberries, raspberries, rosehips, and sea buckthorn berries. It is particularly suitable for feeding during winter or when pasture access is limited, offering a healthy and nutritious variety to the diet.

OKAPI Wild Berries are suitable for all horse types, regardless of breed or age. They provide valuable support during coat changes and serve as a healthy dietary alternative for horses with limited access to pasture. Additionally, they are ideal for horses requiring extra vitamins, contributing to a balanced diet. Ponies can also benefit from OKAPI Wild Berries with the feeding amount adjusted to their size.

Yes, the OKAPI Wild Berries mix can easily be combined with other products. It is recommended to alternate weekly or bi-weekly between different products from our “Healthy Basics” range. This helps support the horse’s natural eating behaviour while ensuring a balanced nutrient supply.

Feeding recommendations

OKAPI Wild Berries should ideally be fed for about one to two weeks, depending on the horse’s needs and condition. Regular feeding on a weekly or bi-weekly rotation with other products from the “Healthy Basics” range is recommended. This supports the horse’s natural eating behaviour and provides a balanced supplement to its primary diet.

OKAPI Wild Berries can be mixed into the feed or scattered on the paddock.

How do I calculate the correct dosage for my horse?

To calculate the appropriate amount of OKAPI Wild Berries 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 is based on a horse weighing 600 kg. The recommended daily amount is 50–75 g per day.

3. Adjust the amount to your horse’s weight
For example, for a horse weighing 300 kg:
75 g ÷ 600 kg × 300 kg = approximately 35g per day

This calculation can be used to determine the appropriate amount for horses of different weights.

- 500g sufficient for approximately 1–2 weeks
- 1,000g sufficient for approximately 2–4 weeks
- 2,500g sufficient for approximately 1–2 months

Complementary feed for horses

Wild horses regularly supplement their fiber-rich diet with plant fruits, including oil-rich seeds (e.g., OKAPI Wild Seeds) and berries. These provide high-quality vitamins and secondary plant compounds that support a natural metabolism. Sprinkled on the paddock or added to the feed, OKAPI Wild Berries are a welcome and healthy variation, especially during the winter diet or in summer for horses with limited access to pasture.
