Frequently Asked Questions
Which horses are most suited to Cell-ProvideĀ®?
Cell-ProvideĀ® is recommended for all types of horses and ponies at rest or lightly worked. Cell-ProvideĀ® is also suitable for aged or senior horses, especially retired or elderly horses. These horses normally have a pasture-based diet or are supplied with grass hay or a biscuit of lucerne each day. They may have a feed of chaff, pony pellets or a dipper of hard feed. Cell-ProvideĀ® gives an easy scoopful of potent micronutrients to balance their diet by providing essential bone minerals, trace-minerals and vitamins which are not supplied by grass, hay or simple hard feeds. Cell-ProvideĀ® has flexible supplementation guidelines for all equines of all sizes, from miniatures to heavy horses! Full supplementation guidelines are included on every label.
Is Cell-ProvideĀ® suitable for older horses?
Cell-ProvideĀ® is recommended for aged, senior or elderly horses and ponies. They often have decreased digestion of important nutrients, reducing health and vitality. Cell-ProvideĀ® pellets are easy to eat for horses with poor teeth, plus the highly potent nutrients in the small pellets are easily absorbed during digestion. Often aged horses are retired and need the extra calcium, phosphorus and magnesium provided by Cell-ProvideĀ® to ensure optimum bone health as they age. Cell-ProvideĀ® helps older horses maintain good health, coat colour and vitality.
Why do horses only eating grass or hay require Cell-ProvideĀ®?
Soils in many countries and regions are known to be deficient in certain trace-minerals which are critical for horse health and vitality, including selenium, copper and zinc. Cell-ProvideĀ® includes premium, organic chelated forms of these nutrients to ensure optimum intake in the digestive system for the best benefits to health and vitality. Cell-ProvideĀ® is a much better supplement compared to lick blocks or āfree choice loose-lick supplementsā because the tailored dose rate is provided by a measured scoop and can be fine-tuned for all types and sizes of horses in the paddock. Cell-ProvideĀ® is easily fed off the hand once per day when checking rugs and general condition. No need for a hard feed if it is not required. Cell-ProvideĀ® is also compatible with most pony pellets or hard feeds designed for lightly worked horses to top up inadequate supply of nutrients. It is especially recommended if the full amount of commercial feed is not provided each day, commonly due to weight gain issues or fizziness.
Can the full dose of Cell-ProvideĀ® be added to one meal daily?
Yes! You do not need to split the supplement between morning and evening feeds. You can feed the full amount recommended in one dose without āoverloadingā the digestive capacity or reducing proper absorption of the nutrients. The amount of Cell-ProvideĀ® can even be fed straight from the hand without dilution into chaff or hard feed if this is not provided to grazing horses.
Can I feed Cell-ProvideĀ® with other supplements?
be required for the health and vitality of resting or lightly worked horses. Cell-ProvideĀ® meets these horsesā needs of all essential micronutrients, and other supplements supplying only certain nutrients, ie a joint supplement, can be fed as well. Cell-ProvideĀ® is especially compatible with KohnkeāsĀ® Own TRIMĀ® or other supplements from our Kohnkeās Own range which provide specialist formulations of selected nutrients only.
Is Cell-ProvideĀ® suitable for overweight or laminitic ponies?
Cell-ProvideĀ® is an ideal balancing supplement for good-doer horses and ponies on limited diets or restricted grazing due to weight concerns. Cell-ProvideĀ® does not supply energy, sugar or protein which may need to be restricted in sensitive horses. For these horses, we recommend combining Cell-ProvideĀ® with Kohnkeās OwnĀ® TRIMĀ®, which has certain nutrients to help with the metabolism of horses and ponies with weight problems. This combination is perfect for softening and reducing the cresty neck and excessive or abnormal fatty deposits in good-doer horses and ponies. Cell-ProvideĀ® is also recommended as a balancing supplement for horses which consume water-soaked hay. Soaking hay to remove sugars also removes some of the natural micronutrient content of the hay, thus it is recommended to provide Cell-ProvideĀ® to horses on soaked hay diets to ensure nutrients lost by the soaking process are replaced.
How is Cell-ProvideĀ® different from other Kohnkeās Own Ration Balancing Supplements?
Cell-ProvideĀ® is a ālighterā style supplement with lower levels of iron and other antioxidant nutrients (which are needed in higher amounts as training levels and sweat amount increases) as it is designed for horses which are at rest or only lightly handled or ridden. These horses still require a balanced diet of essential micronutrients which are not supplied by grass or hay alone. Cell-ProvideĀ® meets their needs without excesses that would be provided by supplements designed for horses in regular work or competition. Cell-ProvideĀ® is one of our most economical supplements. It can be fed from the hand as a highly palatable ātreatā for horses which are only grazing and not provided with a daily hard feed. Even in large paddocks with many horses, a scoopful of Cell-ProvideĀ® can be given by hand when checking your horsesā condition, rugging and cleaning the hooves etc. Cell-ProvideĀ® has the same exclusive SuppletĀ® pelleting technology as other ration balancing supplements in the Kohnkeās OwnĀ® range. A blend of 3 separate groups of compatible nutrients to ensure optimum potency and stability of the supplement, plus reducing waste, sift-out, sludging or blow away in feeders.
Customer comments
āI just wanted to say my two horses are thriving on a dust paddock, hay, oats and Cell-Provideā¦ its awesome, they look sensational. The youngster is working brilliantly and the oldy looks a million bucks. Iām getting many complements about them, and I get asked what I am feeding them and theyāre always shocked when I say theyāre both on diets, its Cell-Provide that keeps them looking rad. I think they expect me to say some over complicated million dollar diet! Thank you!ā Kerry B
