Do horses exhibit “nutritional wisdom”? When given a choice will they select the appropriate amounts of each mineral, if I offer a variety of mineral sources cafeteria style?
A. Generally, animals do not have the ability to consume only the amount required to meet their need for given minerals. Also, many of the pure mineral forms are not very palatable, and will not be consumed readily unless mixed with the other feedstuffs. It is more likely your horse will get the balanced nutrition you desire if you feed a balanced mineral supplement mixed with the rest of the diet.
