Abstract for “Pill and paste carrier.”
The present invention relates to a forage-based Pill and Paste Carrier that can be fed to horses, donkeys and livestock. The Pill and Paste Carrier can be formed into a hollow disc or cylinder shape and can hold a tablet, semi-solid, liquid or a paste. A method of making a Pill and Paste Carrier is provided by preparing a forage-based mixture that includes a binder and flavor enhancer substances, as well any additives to promote animal health. Then pressing and drying the hollow disk or cylinder, and then optionally filling it with a paste. It is also possible to administer medications to animals that are healthy or have chronic or acute health problems.
Background for “Pill and paste carrier.”
For horses, forage such as pasture and hay is essential to their health and well-being. Understanding the function, design and dependence of the horse’s digestive systems on forage is the first step to understanding the critical importance of forage. All horse owners should have a common understanding of the contents of forage, its types and physical form, and the importance of forage quality. In order to properly feed a horse, it is important to understand how much forage each horse needs per day. Let’s learn more about forages for horses.
“The horse’s unique digestive system structure and function is ideal for the use of forage. Horses are either herbivores, or plant eaters. They are also known as “hindgut fermenters”. The large fermentation vat is located in the back of the digestive tract. The horse’s hindgut consists of the colon and cecum. It is large and balloon-shaped. This area accounts for more than 65% of the digestive system’s total capacity. This area is home to billions of bacteria and protozoa. These microorganisms collaborate to degrade (ferment) plant fiber. Horses can use forage because of the presence these microorganisms within their hindgut. These microorganisms are essential for horses to be able digest forage. The intestinal microorganisms produce energy-yielding compounds, such as volatile fatty acids, and amino acids and B vitamins that can be absorbed into the horse’s body.
“With more than 65% of horses’ digestive system dedicated to digestion of forage, it is clear why forage is so important for the health of all horses.”
“Forage can come in many forms and types. Forages can generally be divided into two types: legumes or grasses.
Legumes are plants like clover and alfalfa. Because they can fix their own nitrogen, legumes have higher protein levels. The fiber in legumes is also less than grasses, and the undigestible fiber is more common.
There are many species of grasses that horses can eat. There are two types of grass: cool season grasses (e.g. Orchard, timothy and prairie), and those that thrive in warmer climates?warm-season grasses (e.g. Bermuda, kikuyu, and Pangola. Again, grasses are generally lower in protein and higher in fiber than legume forages.
“The form of the forages that horses are fed is also very variable. Forage is the simplest type. Pasture can include both grass and legume plants. You can grow pasture plants in any climate. When conditions are extreme, such as in extreme heat or cold temperatures, pasture plants can stop growing and go dormant. The horse must still rely on the forage stored in its natural form during these seasons.
Hay is the most commonly used form of stored forage. Hay is made from plants that have reached a certain maturity or height. Then, they are cut and dried to a low moisture content before being packed into a bale. The moisture content of hay stored at higher than 12% will cause it to mold. Horses should not be fed moldy forage as it can cause digestive upset (colic) and even death. You can make other forms from forage once it has been stored as hay. These include pellets and cubes as well as chaff. These forms of forage are the same digestible as the hay from which they were made. The convenience of chaff, pellets, or cubes is simply added to the ease of handling and feeding. The ability to transport hay from areas where hay grows well to those with less favorable conditions by making pellets or cubes of hay allows it to be transported easily. For horses with bad teeth or aged horses, pelleted or cubed forages is the best choice. These horses may tolerate pellet or cubes if they are soaked in water. horses.”
The main factors that affect the quality of forage include the species of the plant, the stage of maturity and the location in which the plant was grown. Like grass plants, legume plants (alfalfa, clover) are higher in protein, energy, and calcium than grass plants. For horses that require high nutrient intakes, such as broodmares or growing horses, legume forages work best. However, grass forages may be more suitable for horses who gain weight quickly or show horses because they contain a lower energy content.
The maturity of the plant also plays a role in determining forage quality. The lower quality of forage is determined by how tall and mature the plant. Due to the increased fiber content, plants become less digestible as they age. Because mature plants have a high fiber content, they are more likely to contain less energy, protein and vitamins than younger plants. Hay that is cut too early in the season or when plants are mature will not be as digestible. Rain and poor weather can often delay the cutting of hay in some areas of the country. These weather delays reduce the quality of hay.
The physical location in which the plant was raised is the final determinant of its forage quality. Different soils have different nutrient density. The plant’s nutrient level is an indicator of soil nutrient levels. Plants that are grown in soil deficient in nutrients will be of lower quality and nutrient-deficient. Poor climate conditions can make it difficult for certain parts of the country to grow high quality forage. Because of their optimal growing and harvesting conditions, Western United States forage is of the highest quality.
Visual inspection of the forage can help determine forage quality to a certain extent. Visual inspection may include looking at the leaf-to-stem ratio, length of the seed heads, color, dust, or mold.
Higher quality forages will have more leaf than stems, a shorter seed head, green color, and a fresh, clean odor with no mold or dust. Laboratory analysis can provide a more precise evaluation of forage quality. A representative sample of forage must be sent to the laboratory for chemical analyses. The laboratory will then determine the energy, protein, vitamin, and mineral content. To determine the presence or absence of harmful mold, laboratory analysis can be performed.
Horses can eat forage as it is the most safest food ingredient. Horses need to consume between 1.5-2.5% of their bodyweight in dry forage daily for a 1000 lb horse. This is equivalent to 15-25 lbs for a horse. daily forage. Only racehorses would consume this amount of forage per day. Horses should be fed at least 2.0% of their bodyweight in dry forage daily, which is equivalent to 20 lbs. 1,000 lb horse needs at least 2.0% of their body weight in dry forage daily. horse. How much forage can a horse consume? According to conservative estimates, horses should consume no more than 3.5% of their bodyweight in dry forage each day. This is 35 lbs. Dry forage per day for a 1000-lb horse horse.”
Horses need forage as their main dietary source. Horses are designed to consume forage. There are many kinds and types of forage. Horses should be fed high quality forage. If your horse is overweight or sensitive to certain forages, you should offer it as a free choice. Forage in large quantities will improve digestive health and reduce the amount of grain required to feed the horse.
Horses need for all the nutrients they can get from forage: water, energy and protein. Many horse owners judge or talk only about the protein content of their forage. Although protein is important, it’s not the only important nutrient. It is important to evaluate the nutrients in forage by their totality and not just one nutrient. Here are some examples of nutrients found in forage, along with brief explanations.
Horses need good quality forage. Horse owners need to make a decision about whether or not to purchase hay or any other forage sources during times of shortage. It is crucial to ensure that the horse has access to a high-quality hay or other forage sources. This is because it provides horses with 50 to 90% of their daily nutrient requirements.
Horse owners should be concerned about the availability of forage for their horses. Horses need to consume at least 1% of their body weight (dry matter) daily because of their unique digestive system. This includes hay, chaff, pasture, and some grain.
“Most horses receive more than this amount of grass and hay per day, but they are still fed more than that. A horse weighing 450 kg (1, 000 lb.) would be considered as a “heavy” horse. Horses can easily consume 5 to 7kg (1 to 15 lb.) Horses can eat 1.5 to 3kg (3.3 to 6.6 lb.) of forage daily. A grain ration is necessary to ensure a healthy digestive system, good health, and good condition. Hay consumption can reach up to 3% for lactating mares and young horses.
People usually focus on the grain ration when there are problems that could be related to nutrition. We must be more aware of the importance of hay and other forage in horse nutrition, especially when the mare eats a lot of grass or hay.
Many factors can affect the quality and therefore the nutrient contents of hay. These factors include the plant species, fertilization and maturity at harvest, rain and sunlight when hay is harvested and climatic and storage conditions. More than any other factor, the quality of hay depends on the maturity of the plant at harvest.
“Legume Hays like clover and alfalfa have higher levels of protein, energy, calcium, and magnesium than grass or cereal. They are often more tasty and have a higher value. For horse consumption, hay should be cut from young grass. It is important that the hay was allowed to cure before it was stored. Mold can often develop in bales if the hay is too green or if it has been rained on. You can detect this by smell and discoloration of the stems. It is possible to dry hay that has been wetted after cutting. However, the stems can become discolored and much of the sugar and energy will be washed away. Horses can become ill if they ingest certain kinds of mold. This can lead to colic.
Some hay becomes very dusty after drying. This can pose a greater health risk than mold. Dust can build up in horses’ noses when they bury their heads in hay or grab a piece of hay and shake it. Lung problems can quickly develop from breathing in so much dust. Acute pneumonia is a short-term effect that causes difficulty breathing and coughing. Chronic effects include those associated with emphysema or heaves. Although this condition can be controlled with medication, it cannot be cured. Soaking the hay in water will not only keep dust from building up, but it will also remove some sugar and energy.
“Most people purchase hay based upon how it feels, looks, smells, or smells. These qualitative aspects are crucial. These are important points to remember when assessing hay.
You can also feed high-fiber feeds with a high percentage of chaff if hay is not available. As a guide, consider the crude fiber level.
Remember that horses can eat hay when there is no pasture or little. You will need to feed your horses hay if you are working them. You should inspect the hay for cleanliness and absence of mold or dust. Don’t give hay to anyone who isn’t sure about its quality.
Standlee Premium Western Forage has created a new way to give pills to horses, livestock, and pets. Standlee Premium Western Forage created a medicine carrier that your horses will love. It is easy to use and tastes delicious. Standlee Pill and Paste Carriers allow you to give oral medication or supplements to your horse or pony, donkey, or any other livestock and pets.
Giving oral medication to horses is a difficult task, as pet owners, horse owners, and livestock owners, know. Pastes can be administered to horses with less difficulty than other oral medications. They are often provided with a long, flexible syringe that can go towards the back of the horse’s mouth. Pills can be difficult to give to horses.
“Owners sometimes grind the pills and mix them in the feed. Picky eaters will eat the feed until they are satisfied. But you cannot stop trying. Your horse must receive the right amount of medication at the prescribed time and for the required number of days. Standlee Premium Western Forage is a great way to give medication to your horse, livestock, or pet. Standlee Pill and Paste Carriers make it easy to give oral medication or supplements to your animal, livestock, donkey, or pony. Pill carriers provide a valuable solution to medication delivery through a nutritious, forage-based treat.
“Features and benefits”
Standlee Premium Western Forage Pill Carriers are naturally flavored by fenugreek seeds. The top three flavors that horses prefer were fenugreek and banana according to researchers in England. The final data revealed that the top eight flavors chosen by horses were, in order of preference: fenugreek (banana), cherry, cumin and carrot, peppermint, rosemary, cumin and cumin. Refer to the following: Goodwin D., Acceptance and Selection of Flavors in Concentrate Diets for Stable Horses, Applied Animal Behavour Science, Volume 95 Issue 3, Pages 223-232 December 2005.

People usually focus on the grain ration when there are problems that could be related to nutrition. We must be more aware of the importance of hay and other forage in horse nutrition, especially when the mare eats a lot of grass or hay.
Many factors can affect the quality and therefore the nutrient contents of hay. These factors include the plant species, fertilization and maturity at harvest, rain and sunlight when hay is harvested and climatic and storage conditions. More than any other factor, the quality of hay depends on the maturity of the plant at harvest.
“Legume Hays like clover and alfalfa have higher levels of protein, energy, calcium, and magnesium than grass or cereal. They are often more tasty and have a higher value. For horse consumption, hay should be cut from young grass. It is important that the hay was allowed to cure before it was stored. Mold can often develop in bales if the hay is too green or if it has been rained on. You can detect this by smell and discoloration of the stems. It is possible to dry hay that has been wetted after cutting. However, the stems can become discolored and much of the sugar and energy will be washed away. Horses can become ill if they ingest certain kinds of mold. This can lead to colic.
Some hay becomes very dusty after drying. This can pose a greater health risk than mold. Dust can build up in horses’ noses when they bury their heads in hay or grab a piece of hay and shake it. Lung problems can quickly develop from breathing in so much dust. Acute pneumonia is a short-term effect that causes difficulty breathing and coughing. Chronic effects include those associated with emphysema or heaves. Although this condition can be controlled with medication, it cannot be cured. Soaking the hay in water will not only keep dust from building up, but it will also remove some sugar and energy.
“Most people purchase hay based upon how it feels, looks, smells, or smells. These qualitative aspects are crucial. These are important points to remember when assessing hay.
You can also feed high-fiber feeds with a high percentage of chaff if hay is not available. As a guide, consider the crude fiber level.
Remember that horses can eat hay when there is no pasture or little. You will need to feed your horses hay if you are working them. You should inspect the hay for cleanliness and absence of mold or dust. Don’t give hay to anyone who isn’t sure about its quality.
Standlee Premium Western Forage has created a new way to give pills to horses, livestock, and pets. Standlee Premium Western Forage created a medicine carrier that your horses will love. It is easy to use and tastes delicious. Standlee Pill and Paste Carriers allow you to give oral medication or supplements to your horse or pony, donkey, or any other livestock and pets.
Giving oral medication to horses is a difficult task, as pet owners, horse owners, and livestock owners, know. Pastes can be administered to horses with less difficulty than other oral medications. They are often provided with a long, flexible syringe that can go towards the back of the horse’s mouth. Pills can be difficult to give to horses.
“Owners sometimes grind the pills and mix them in the feed. Picky eaters will eat the feed until they are satisfied. But you cannot stop trying. Your horse must receive the right amount of medication at the prescribed time and for the required number of days. Standlee Premium Western Forage is a great way to give medication to your horse, livestock, or pet. Standlee Pill and Paste Carriers make it easy to give oral medication or supplements to your animal, livestock, donkey, or pony. Pill carriers provide a valuable solution to medication delivery through a nutritious, forage-based treat.
“Features and benefits”
Standlee Premium Western Forage Pill Carriers are naturally flavored by fenugreek seeds. The top three flavors that horses prefer were fenugreek and banana according to researchers in England. The final data revealed that the top eight flavors chosen by horses were, in order of preference: fenugreek (banana), cherry, cumin and carrot, peppermint, rosemary, cumin and cumin. Refer to the following: Goodwin D., Acceptance and Selection of Flavors in Concentrate Diets for Stable Horses, Applied Animal Behavour Science, Volume 95 Issue 3, Pages 223-232 December 2005.
“Standlee Premium Western Forage is a stable product that can be used to administer medication. So that the horse views the pill carriers as a treat, we want them to be readily available. You can then mask the taste of any medication by using the fenugreek and alfalfa flavors. The forage used in Standlee?s Horse Pill Carriers does not have to be very finely chopped. It provides a normal texture to your horse and covers any medication you may be giving. The preferred formulations are used to introduce agents that have a positive bodily impact. These medications, agents and liquids can be delivered easily using either the hollow cylinder Pill and Paste Carrier or the disk Pill and Paste Carrier. The ability to give your animal, livestock, horse, donkey, or other animal these medications and agents will greatly improve their health and wellbeing.
