Mineral Supplements for Horses

View detailed nutrition information and ingredient labels for mineral supplements in Mad Barn’s Equine Feed Database. Mineral supplements provide essential nutrients that horses need for skeletal health, muscle function, nerve signaling, hydration, metabolism, hoof quality, immune function, and overall wellness.

Minerals are typically grouped into two categories: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals are required in larger amounts and include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur. Trace minerals are needed in smaller amounts but still play important roles in health and performance. Examples include zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, iodine, iron, cobalt, and chromium.

Commercial mineral products for horses may include individual minerals, vitamin and mineral premixes, ration balancers, electrolyte formulas, or supplements for targeted needs. These products can vary widely in mineral source, concentration, bioavailability, serving size, cost per day, and whether they are designed to correct a specific deficiency or balance the overall diet.

Compare mineral supplements, ingredient sources, feeding rates, and nutrient levels to find the best product for your horse’s diet, forage profile, workload, and health needs.
