Calculated and produced individually for your horse. The composition and daily dose of your pellet mix are derived from the ration analysis.

How is your mix created?

  1. 1

    Calculate the formula

    Based on your details, we create your individual formula. The calculation takes into account what hay and existing feed already provide.

  2. 2

    Approve the formula

    A calculated formula is not yet approved. Before anything is mixed, a responsible person at Equivora approves the saved formula. They cannot override safety blocks or statutory maximum levels.

What are the terms?

Minimum quantity
15 kg per formula. The daily dose is not increased to use up this quantity faster.
Delivery and supply period
You receive your own feed mix in one delivery. At the calculated daily dose it lasts about 90 days, or longer depending on the formula and order quantity.
Payment
The total price of your feed mix is paid in three instalments: with the order confirmation and 28 and 56 days afterwards.
Initial contract term
84 days. This is the first contract term; the supply period, by contrast, describes how long your feed lasts.

Price, shipping costs, delivery time and the final rules for continuation and cancellation have not yet been released. The binding details will be published before ordering opens.

What does your product label show?

Before ordering, you can view an approximate label of your future mix: ingredients, analytical constituents, added additives per kilogram with their EU identification numbers, daily dose and feeding instructions, as well as net weight and storage.

Which horses is the mix suitable for?

The mix is an option if the ration analysis shows a need for supplementation and there is no safety block. It complements a basic ration that meets requirements and does not replace it.

  • We only add selenium and iodine to the custom mix when a lab value is available.
  • In cases of pre-existing conditions, medication, pregnancy or lactation, young horses, or open or uncertain safety information, there is no automatic recommendation and no custom mix. In that case, agree on the feeding with your vet.

The calculated values are reference model estimates and are to be professionally validated.

How a hay analysis adds to the data basis
