Equine Supplement Products Market Introduction
Equines are remarkable athletes and regularly require assistance for their high-performance regimen in the form of dietary horse supplements and additives. All horses, whether used for breeding, dressage, racing, or showing, need a balanced diet to improve their health. Performance horses have higher dietary needs than conventional horses due to the demands imposed on their bodies. A balanced diet, which sets priority on providing horses the nutrients they need for energy, is the secret to keep them strong and active. High-performance horses constantly burn their stored energy; hence, they need higher-than-average protein intake to maintain optimum health. In the U.S., the National Equine Health Plan was developed by the American Equine Council, the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Additionally, the National Animal Health Surveillance System (NAHMS), the Non-Regulatory Veterinary Services (VS) division of the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, was developed to meet the national animal health information needs.
