Dextrose - Feed Ingredient

Dextrose, also known as D-glucose, is a simple sugar derived from the hydrolysis of starch, typically from corn. It is a rapidly digestible carbohydrate that serves as an immediate energy source. Due to its high solubility and sweet taste, dextrose is often used in feed formulations to improve palatability and provide quick energy.

In equine nutrition, dextrose is occasionally included in specialized feeds, supplements, and electrolyte formulations to support energy metabolism and glycogen replenishment. Additionally, dextrose is commonly used as an excipient ingredient, serving as a carrier for vitamins, minerals, and active compounds in premixes and supplements. It also functions as a drying agent in powdered formulations, helping to maintain product stability and prevent clumping.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Dextrose as an ingredient.
