Perrys has formulated a range of feeds which are suited to the horse's development.

Horse Evolution
Horses evolved with continually erupting teeth, which unlike humans and other herbivores, continue emerging from the gums for up to 20-25 years. This evolution allowed horses to chew forage for up to 20 hours a day to gain the nutrients they require, which is essential as they do not have the ruminant digestive system (cattle, sheep) which assists with the digestion of structural carbohydrates (fibre) in pasture.

Better for Teeth
The majority of feeds which are mass distributed are pelletized or predominately grain. The delivery of these nutrients in a pellet or in a grain mixture is not as well suited to the horses methods of eating and digesting it's feed. Roughage (hay, pasture) requires more chewing and promotes slower ingestion of feed. Grain and pellets are swallowed quicker by horses, decreasing chewing and digestion times. Perrys product range all contain high levels of roughage materials.
-
Better for Behaviour
Equine Stereotypies are repetitive behaviour patterns (eg. Crib-biting, Weaving/box-walking, Wood-chewing etc) which are indications that the horse may be under stress. Feeding hay instead of concentrates has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of stereotypies. The horse spends longer feeding, has increased gut fill, and assists to satisfy its natural inclination to graze for long periods.
-
Vitamins and Minerals
The vitamin and mineral levels in our feeds have been carefully selected to ensure that horses receive the appropriate amount for its size and work load with reference to the National Research Council levels suggested for differing stages. High quality pasture or hay are an important source of vitamins and minerals in the horses diet, including vitamins A and D, iron, calcium and others. We have taken this into account when formulating the vitamin and mineral levels, recognising that excess amounts to requirements are not able to be utilized by the horse and end up as paddock fertilizer.
