Feed Supplementation Success with OVN™ The correct addition of vitamins to the horses diet to correct low, imbalanced or inadequate natural levels in feeds or losses in vitamin activity due to processing and storage is paramount to the health and performance of the horses we keep. As the amounts of vitamins added to feeds to meet requirements are so small, the use of formulated vitamin premixtures is the simplest way to ensure that feeds are correctly fortified. Vitamins come in many chemical and physical forms resulting in particles ranging in size, density, shape, and electrostatic charge. Formulating a premix requires knowledge of the application relative to manufacturing and product type. Factors used for formulating a vitamin premix include vitamin form selection and balancing nutrient potency using the appropriate carriers. DSM Nutritional products provides the feed industry these premixes via its global network of premix manufacturing sites. Experts at DSM Nutritional Products understand how to formulate and manufacture premixes to achieve the highest quality outcome in feed and supplements.

OVN™ stands for Optimal Vitamin Nutrition. The OVN™ program from DSM Nutritional Products (DSM) gives all partners in the horse feed and supplement supply chain the assurance that their products are fortified with the most advanced and traceable forms of vitamins available in the marketplace. OVN™ is the sign of nutritional and vitamin form quality.

Today, the importance and awareness of feed and vitamin quality is high. Owners require that their horses are fed feed and supplements that are of the highest nutritional quality with guaranteed ingredients that are fully traceable. The OVN™ symbol gives confidence to horse feed and supplement manufacturers and horse owners alike.

The OVN™ Program:• The OVN™ program uses vitamins

produced by the world’s leading primary vitamin producer and integrated premix manufacturer, DSM Nutritional Products.

• DSM delivers the highest quality and most technologically advanced vitamin forms to the feed and human nutrition industries.

• The OVN™ program uses DSM vitamin forms that are produced in compliance with key global regulations to provide full traceability for the best safety practices.

• The OVN™ program vitamin recommendations for the horse have been developed following a full review of the most relevant and recently published equine literature.

• The OVN™ logo is assurance that horses at each work load, or life stage, will receive the best quality and most suitable level of vitamins to optimally meet their daily requirements. This helps support long term health and wellbeing of the horse, essential for lifetime performance.

Essentials for Life The term “vitamin” or “vitamine” was a term first used in 1912 by a scientist named Casimir Funk to describe certain factors in foods found essential for health. He derived the term “vitamine” from the latin word “vita” meaning life, and combined it with the term “amine” as he hypothesized that all vitamins were amines, which is actually incorrect. He was however correct in that they are vital for life.

OVN™: A Symbol of Quality

Vitamin A: Supports normal vision, cell differentiation, growth and reproduction, skin and mucosal integrity and the immune function.

Vitamin E: Cellular antioxidant, protects cells from damage by free radicals. Supports cell integrity and the immune function.

β-carotene: Pro-Vitamin A, supports immune function and reproduction.

Thiamine (vitamin B1): Supports fat, amino acid, carbohydrate and energy metabolism. Needed for normal nervous system function.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2): Needed for energy and lipid metabolism, helps maintain healthy skin and eyes.

Biotin: Involved with fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis, amino acid metabolism as well as other metabolic pathways, gene expression, cell proliferation and growth. Supports healthy skin, hair and hoof condition.

Niacin: Supports metabolism of fat, carbohydrate and protein, healthy nervous and digestive systems and skin health.

Vitamin B12: Needed for red blood cell production, supports DNA synthesis, involved with metabolism of methionine. Supports fat and energy metabolism. Co-enzyme for metabolism of glucose from volatile fatty acids.

Folic acid: Supports synthesis of DNA, purine and methionine, required for transfer and utilization of single carbon units in biosynthetic pathways, needed for blood cell formation.

Pantothenic acid: Part of Co-enzyme A and acyl carrier protein, needed for energy metabolism, part of many metabolic pathways involving carbohydrate, protein, lipid metabolism, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones and hemoglobin.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6): Essential component of enzymes required for metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrate.

Choline: Required for the synthesis of phospholipids that are essential structural components of cell membranes, needed for normal fat metabolism, provides active methyl groups for methylation reactions in the body, a precursor for acetylcholine - an important neurotransmitter.

Why are vitamins so important? Vitamins, often termed the micronutrients with macro impact, are a group of complex organic compounds required by animals in very small amounts and are essential for many of the metabolic reactions that occur in the body. To support optimal health and performance vitamins need to be obtained from the diet

Vitamin K: Essential for normal blood clotting. Supports bone metabolism and development.

Vitamin D: Supports calcium homeostasis in the body, needed for healthy bones, influences cell growth and differentiation.

Vitamin C: Antioxidant, part of the cellular water-soluble antioxidant cascade system, neutralizes damaging free radicals and regenerates antioxidant activity of vitamin E, required for collagen formation.

• exceed levels needed to prevent clinical deficiency signs

• compensate for various factors influencing an animal’s requirements

• ensure fortification not limiting the animal’s natural defense against disease

OVN™ supplementation levels

What does OVN™ mean for horses? The goal of vitamin supplementation has now moved from just providing the minimum to prevent deficiency symptoms, to providing optimal vitamin nutrition, ensuring optimal health, well-being and performance (Figure 1). Suboptimal dietary vitamin intake may even result in more generalized symptoms in the horse such as poor reproductive success, poor growth, increased incidence of infection, general listlessness, poor appearance and particularly for the horse, weak hooves; and there could even be impact upon performance.

Total vitamin intake from all sources in diet

Studies have shown that biotin supplementation of the horse above levels required for normal metabolism can positively influence hoof condition when fed over a period of around 6 months (Figure 2).

Optimum Vitamin Nutrition recommendations for the horse Establishing precise Optimum Vitamin Nutrition levels for horses is very challenging due to the scarcity of data. The subject has been comprehensively reviewed in recent years by INRA (1990), Crandell (2003), NRC (2007) and Zeyner and Harris (2013). OVN™ embraces these and where sound data exist for amounts above reported recommended requirements they are used. Biotin is a good example. Horses fed biotin above requirements over a period of many months showed improved hoof quality. In addition, the OVN™ guidelines consider results from other animal vitamin research and the results are applied when concluded a potential benefit to the horse.

Do horses need supplemental vitamins? It is clear that a horse, living in an extensive free ranging environment, consuming high quality fresh grasses and a varied forage-based natural diet, survives without supplemental vitamins. High quality fresh pasture is the ideal rich source of most fat and water-soluble vitamins. The horse can also produce some vitamins: vitamin C in the liver from glucose and a number of B-group vitamins and vitamin K though hind gut bacterial fermentation. This synthesis may not however be an efficient or reliable source of these vitamins. Further, many modern management and dietary practices may restrict the synthesis and absorption of these vitamins. The absorption efficiency of vitamins produced in the gut of the horse is also questioned.

Consequently, when considering supplementation of the horse one should carefully consider many factors, including the physiological aspects of the horse, management practices, work load and total diet. This will ensure that optimal daily vitamin dietary requirements are met and crucially that OVN™ is achieved.

Reduced fresh forage intake and replacement with conserved forage Reduced intake of fresh forage and its replacement with conserved forages is one of the key factors that affects the need to provide the horse with vitamin supplements to meet daily requirements. High-quality, leafy, green hays are assumed to be good source of beta-carotene, the precursor of vitamin A, as well as the vitamins D, E and B, but actual vitamin content may vary and cannot therefore be guaranteed to meet the requirement of the horse (Figure 3), (Ballet et al., 2000). It is also generally accepted that amounts of vitamins in conserved forage decline over time during storage. As early as in 1949, Carroll et al. confirmed evidence for the synthesis of B vitamins in the gut of the horse. It was however indicated that there was need for B vitamin supplementation for horses, particularly if fed poor quality or restricted amounts of conserved forage.

Management, Stress and Disease Management practices such as stabling horses at critical times in the summer months and blanketing have been thought to reduce the horses’ opportunity to synthesize vitamin D from the action of UV light (sunlight) on the skin. This is the process by which humans and many other animals obtain a significant amount of their vitamin D3. A review of vitamin D in the horse reported that changes in the D3 status in response to sunlight is generally limited compared with some other species and not all studies show a change when the horses are exposed to sunlight (Hymøller, 2015). A recent study by Azarpeykan et al. (2015) showed that horses had no detectable vitamin D3 in the serum regardless of sun light exposure or not. Horses were receiving dietary vitamin D from the pasture, as vitamin D2. This suggests that vitamin D3 is not made in the skin of the horse to any significant extent, when receiving apparently adequate amounts of vitamin D from the diet. Management practices that reduce exposure of the horse to UV radiation appear to be less important than previously thought in terms of maintaining vitamin D status when adequate dietary supply is available. A known dietary intake of vitamin D from a bio-available source ensures optimal nutritional support at all times.

Stress and disease can increase production of free radicals in the body and cause oxidative damage to the cells. Antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene) may play important roles by inactivating these harmful free radicals. Bacterial and viral infection (e.g. influenza, rhinopneumonia) have been reported to lower serum vitamin C levels (McDowell, 2000). Whilst it is accepted that in many circumstances the horse can adequately meet its vitamin C requirement from own synthesis, dietary supplemental vitamin C could be beneficial to help improve the overall antioxidant status of the horse.

Concentrate feeding Starchy concentrate feeds are given to fulfil the energy requirement of the animal for the work we require it to do and to replace macronutrient deficits of the forage fed. Feeding high levels of starch to horses, concomitant with reduced forage intake as for example in race horses, may however affect the gut bacteria fermentation capability and overall gut health. Any diet that compromises hind gut fermentation may result in reduced synthesis or absorption of B-group vitamins (Linerode, 1967). Although the NRC established requirements for only vitamin B1 and B2 in 2007, full supplementation with the B-vitamin complex is however considered advisable to ensure optimal nutritional support of the horse.

Storage of vitamins in the body and seasonal effect on vitamin status The ability of the horse to store vitamins varies. Fat soluble vitamins A, D and E can be stored in the fatty tissues and liver. Water soluble vitamins are not stored to any significant extent and are soon excreted after absorption. Vitamin A for example can be stored in the liver for 2-6 months, whilst for vitamin B1, a water soluble vitamin, reserves may only be sufficient for 1-2 weeks (Saastamoinen and Harris, 2008). Fat soluble vitamin status of horses gradually declines over the winter and differs from that in the summer months as stores are used and the diet changes from fresh to conserved feedingstuffs, (Table 1; Mäenpää et al., 1987, 1998). Ensuring optimal dietary vitamin intake through appropriate supplementation is therefore important to support optimal tissue storage levels of vitamins at all times.

Effect of work Very little work has been carried out to investigate the effect of exercise on vitamin requirements in the horse. Any increase in requirements that may exist are generally considered to be compensated for by increased food intake associated with increased energy requirements linked to work load. Acute exercising horses, however, may benefit from specific dietary supplemental antioxidant vitamins in terms of healthy airways and immune function (Zeyner and Harris, 2013). Dietary supplementation with antioxidant vitamins and other supportive antioxidant compounds have also shown to positively influence various biochemical markers of the antioxidant capacity in the horse (Lowe, Lucas and Paganga, 2004).Further, a number of studies in horses and common sense approaches, developed from other animals may infer, for example, that a performance horse on a higher starch diet may benefit from an additional amount of vitamin B1, an important factor in carbohydrate metabolism (Bates, 2001), above the recommended requirement. Similarly, endurance horses on a high fat diet may benefit from increased vitamin E intake.

Growth Ensuring optimal intake of micronutrients is important to support normal healthy growth of the young horse. Appropriate supplementation with pre-formed vitamin A, for example, must be ensured due to concerns relating to an excess intake and the potential of bone abnormality development. Vitamin K supplementation could also be considered appropriate for the growing horse due to its involvement in bone metabolism. Vitamin B and K supplementation may also be considered beneficial in the foal where a balanced and established microflora remains to be developed.

Reproduction Enough vitamins have to be supplied to support the the mare during pregnancy and ensure production of nutritious colostrum and milk during lactation for the foal. The mare’s vitamin status must be adequate during the reproduction cycle, prior to conception and during gestation and lactation. Beta-carotene is considered beneficial to the reproductive function of the horse (Kane, 2009), particularly if fed during gestation and lactation when animals are fed on diets low in Beta-carotene, or those based on conserved forages and over the winter months. Some benefits may also be seen in stallions. Fat soluble vitamin status of breeding animals and foals varies with season and declines over the winter months. Dietary vitamin supplementation is therefore considered important to support serum vitamin levels in the mare and foal (Maenpaa et al., 1998, Greiwe-Crandell, 1995). Vitamin E supplementation is considered beneficial in breeding horses (Table 2). It has been shown to help enhance the vitamin E and IgM status of foals, thus supporting immunity (Bondo and Jensen, 2011).

Appropriate supplementation to achieve optimal vitamin nutrition means adjusting the supply to achieve optimum amounts but avoiding excessive levels which could result in evident or sub-clinical toxicity. Optimum Vitamin Nutrition guidelines are therefore designed to achieve this balance to support normal development, wellbeing, reproductive success of the horse and to support the potential to perform work.
