Vitamin and Mineral Premix - Feed Ingredient

A vitamin and mineral premix is a blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and trace elements designed to supplement animal diets and ensure balanced nutrition. These premixes are formulated to meet specific dietary requirements and prevent nutrient deficiencies in horses and other livestock.

In equine nutrition, vitamin and mineral premixes are commonly added to commercial feeds or top-dressed onto forage-based diets to provide key nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, selenium, and vitamins A, D, and E. The composition of a premix varies based on manufacturers.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Vitamin and Mineral Premix as an ingredient.

Frequently Asked Questions

The purpose of a vitamin and mineral premix for horses is to fill the micronutrient gaps left by the rest of the diet. A premix supplies concentrated vitamins, macro minerals, and trace minerals in a measured daily serving so the horse can meet nutrient requirements without needing large amounts of fortified grain. Premixes may be added as an ingredient in complete feeds, combined with concentrates such as oats, mixed with beet pulp, or fed on their own.

Horses on hay or pasture often fall short in copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamin E, and other nutrients that are required in the diet. Adding a vitamin and mineral premix to the diet is one way to ensure those needs are met.

For most horses, the best option is Mad Barn’s Omneity® Premix, a complete powdered vitamin and mineral supplement designed to balance forage-based diets with 100% organic trace minerals, B-vitamins, amino acids, digestive enzymes, and yeast.

The best vitamin and mineral premix for most horses is Mad Barn’s Omneity® Premix. Omneity Premix is an all-in-one formula designed to balance forage-based diets by supplying the vitamins, organic trace minerals, and amino acids that are commonly lacking in hay and pasture.

Omneity Premix is especially useful for horse owners who want complete micronutrient coverage in a powder format that can replace most commercial ration balancers or complement feeds that are not fed at the full recommended rate.

Horses with higher micronutrient demands, high-iron forage, metabolic concerns, or persistent hoof issues often benefit more from AminoTrace+, which provides an enhanced trace mineral profile. Mad Barn also offers free ration balancing by qualified equine nutritionists to help determine which product best fits your horse’s diet.

A micronutrient premix for horses is a concentrated blend of vitamins and trace minerals used to balance the parts of the diet that do not provide enough micronutrients on their own. In practice, horse owners use a micronutrient premix when hay, pasture, or a partial grain ration covers energy needs but does not fully supply the copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamins, and amino acids the horse needs for optimal health.

The advantage of a micronutrient premix is precision and higher nutrient density without excess calories, sugar or starch. Instead of feeding more commercial feed just to reach the vitamin and mineral target, a premix allows you to add the missing nutrients directly in a controlled daily amount.

Omneity® Premix is a complete powdered micronutrient premix for horses designed to balance forage-based diets in one measured daily serving.

A good equine premix should provide balanced levels of essential vitamins, macro minerals, trace minerals, and amino acids in forms that are well absorbed and appropriate for the base diet. Important nutrients to look for include copper, zinc, selenium, manganese, iodine, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin E, B-vitamins, biotin, and key amino acids such as lysine and methionine.

The quality of the mineral sources also matters. Organic or chelated trace minerals are often preferred because they are generally more stable in the digestive tract and less likely to be tied up by antagonists such as excess iron. A well-formulated premix should also avoid unnecessary added iron, since many hay-based diets already contain more iron than horses require.

Mad Barn’s Omneity® Premix is an ideal example because it provides complete daily vitamin and mineral coverage with 100% organic trace minerals, amino acids, digestive enzymes, and yeast all in one product.

The cost of a vitamin and mineral premix for horses should be evaluated on a cost-per-day basis, not just by the price of the bag or tub. A product that appears less expensive up front can cost more over time if it must be fed at a higher rate or if it does not fully balance the diet and still requires additional supplements.

A concentrated premix is often one of the most economical ways to meet a horse’s micronutrient requirements, especially for easy keepers and forage-fed horses that do not need extra grain or calories. The relevant question is whether the product delivers complete daily vitamin and mineral coverage in an efficient serving size.

Mad Barn’s Omneity® Premix is a complete powdered vitamin and mineral supplement designed to balance forage-based diets, and it is available for approximately $0.84 per day on subscription. That makes it one of the most cost-effective ways to meet your horse’s nutrient requirements while providing complete daily support in a measured serving.

The dosage for a vitamin and mineral premix for horses depends on the product, the horse’s body weight, and the rest of the feeding program. Premixes are concentrated, so they should always be fed according to the manufacturer’s instructions rather than estimated by eye.

For Omneity® Premix, the standard feeding rate for a 500 kg horse is 120 grams per day, or four 30 g scoops. The amount can also be adjusted by body weight at approximately 24 g per 100 kg of body weight.

In practical feeding programs, a premix is usually mixed into a small carrier feed such as soaked beet pulp, hay pellets, or another ration component so the horse consumes the full serving consistently. For individualized guidance, Mad Barn offers free ration balancing by qualified equine nutritionists.

Yes, most horses eating primarily hay or pasture benefit from a vitamin and mineral premix because forage rarely provides balanced levels of copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamin E, and certain amino acids. Horses can meet their energy and protein needs on forage while still falling short in the micronutrients needed for hoof quality, immune function, tissue repair, and overall metabolic health.

This becomes even more important when hay quality is inconsistent, pasture is seasonal, or the horse receives little or no commercial feed. In those situations, a premix helps close the nutritional gaps without adding unnecessary calories.

Omneity® Premix is a complete powdered vitamin and mineral supplement designed specifically to balance forage-based diets by providing broad daily micronutrient support in one measured serving.

Yes, if you are feeding a commercial grain and not following the manufacturer’s recommended feeding rate, your horse still needs another source of vitamins and minerals. Most fortified feeds are only designed to fully balance the diet when fed at the full label amount, which is often around 2.5 to 5 kg per day depending on the product and the horse.

In practice, many horses are fed much less than that. Easy keepers, horses on restricted-calorie diets, and horses receiving grain mainly for convenience or palatability often consume only a fraction of the intended daily vitamin and mineral intake. When that happens, the ration can still be deficient in copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamin E, and essential amino acids.

Omneity® Premix is a complete powdered vitamin and mineral supplement designed to fill those gaps when fortified grain is fed below the recommended rate. It is one of the most practical ways to ensure the diet is properly balanced without having to feed more grain than the horse actually needs.

Yes, a complete vitamin and mineral premix can replace many commercial ration balancers when the horse already meets its energy and protein needs from forage. In these cases, the horse does not need the extra calories or bulk of a grain-based balancer. What the diet still needs is concentrated micronutrient support to cover common gaps in trace minerals, vitamins, and key amino acids.

This is why premixes are often the more practical choice for easy keepers, horses on forage-first diets, and horses that maintain body condition well on hay or pasture alone. A concentrated premix lets you balance the diet without overfeeding starch, sugar, or unnecessary feed volume. It can also simplify the feeding program because a well-formulated premix often supplies nutrients that owners might otherwise try to add through separate products such as hoof supplements.

Omneity® Premix can replace most commercial ration balancers because it is a complete powdered vitamin and mineral supplement designed to balance forage-based diets with organic trace minerals, vitamins, amino acids, digestive enzymes, and yeast in one measured daily serving. For many horses, that makes it a more convenient, more concentrated, and higher-quality way to meet nutrient requirements without also needing a separate hoof supplement.

Yes, a vitamin and mineral premix can be fed with complete feeds or senior feeds when those feeds are not being fed at the manufacturer’s full recommended rate. This is common in horses on restricted-calorie diets or horses that only receive a partial amount of fortified feed.

When a complete or senior feed is fed below the full recommended amount, the horse often receives only part of the intended vitamin and mineral intake. Adding a premix helps restore the missing nutrients without increasing the total feed volume beyond what the horse actually needs.

Omneity® Premix can be fed alongside complete or senior feeds and often provides a more balanced, higher-quality micronutrient profile than many fortified feeds alone.

For most horses, a vitamin and mineral premix is a more precise way to balance the diet than a mineral block or lick because the daily intake can be measured and controlled. Mineral blocks and tubs are often chosen for convenience, especially when feeding multiple horses in a group, but free-choice intake varies widely between animals.

That variation makes it difficult to know whether an individual horse is receiving enough copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamin E, and other nutrients needed to support hoof quality, immune function, connective tissue strength, and overall metabolic health. Some horses may consume very little, while others may consume more than intended. From a nutritional standpoint, free-choice access is convenient, but it is not the most accurate way to ensure that each horse receives the amount needed to properly balance the ration.

Mad Barn’s Omneity® Premix can be offered free-choice in some management situations, but the only reliable way to ensure a horse receives the correct daily intake is to feed a measured amount each day. If the goal of supplementation is to support health and correct nutrient gaps in the diet, measured daily intake is the most accurate and scientifically sound approach.

Vitamin and mineral premixes should be fed in a measured daily amount mixed into the horse’s regular ration. Because premixes are concentrated, they are typically added to a small carrier feed such as soaked beet pulp, hay pellets, or another low-intake ration component so the horse consumes the full serving consistently.

This works well for horses eating mostly hay or pasture, horses receiving less than the full recommended amount of fortified grain, and easy keepers that need concentrated micronutrient support without extra calories.

Omneity® Premix is a high-quality supplement designed to be mixed into the daily ration to balance forage-based diets with vitamins, organic trace minerals, and amino acids.

The best way to know if your horse needs a vitamin and mineral premix is to evaluate the diet and forage with the help of an equine nutritionist. Many horses meet their energy and protein needs on forage or grain-based feeds but still fall short in copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, vitamin E, biotin, and essential amino acids such as lysine.

Horses are especially likely to need a premix if they eat mostly hay or pasture, receive less than the recommended amount of fortified grain, are easy keepers on a restricted-calorie diet, or show signs of poor nutritional balance such as weak hoof walls, dull coat quality, weaker topline, or reduced resilience. Horses with higher nutrient demands, including working horses, broodmares, growing horses, and many senior horses, are also more likely to benefit from concentrated daily micronutrient support because their requirements may exceed what the base ration reliably provides.

Mad Barn offers free ration balancing by qualified equine nutritionists to help determine whether your horse’s diet is currently meeting their needs.

The best vitamin and mineral premix for horses with hoof issues is Mad Barn’sOmneity® Premix. This supplement provides broad daily hoof support by supplying 20 mg of biotin per serving, along with copper, zinc, methionine, lysine, and other nutrients required for normal hoof horn formation and structural integrity.

Biotin supports hoof horn quality and has been shown in studies to improve hoof growth rate and horn quality when fed consistently over time. Copper supports collagen cross-linking, zinc supports keratin production, and amino acids such as methionine and lysine provide the building blocks needed to form strong hoof tissue.

Horses with more persistent hoof issues, concurrent metabolic concerns, high-iron forage, or unusually high copper and zinc demand may benefit more from AminoTrace+, which provides an enhanced trace mineral profile.
