Minerals are inorganic nutrients that are needed in relatively small quantities by the horse. The essential major minerals are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, chloride, potassium and sulfur. The essential trace minerals needed are iron, zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, iodine, and cobalt.
Adding a commercially fortified feed will offer some vitamin E to your horse s diet -- the average feed contains 150 IU or less per pound. Therefore to obtain the same 1100 IUs as from healthy pasture, you would need to feed more than 7 pounds of feed per day an amount too high for most horses.orses that graze on pasture usually get all the vitamin E they need. Fresh grass contains approximately 110 IUs of vitamin E per kg of dry matter. If your 1100 lb (500 kg) horse spends all day on a healthy field of grass, a generalized level of consumption would be 22 lbs (10 kg) of dry matter each day.
