One of the most difficult jobs for a horse owner is the selection of feed and supplements that will keep horses healthy, active, and minimize digestive problems including colic. In a horse's natural state, it will spend most of the hours of the day grazing from plant to plant while ingesting various kinds of grasses and plants.

Horses have a number of problems related to feeding and their digestive system, and KER researchers have taken these issues into consideration when formulating their horse feeds and supplements.

When the horse became domesticated, it became dependent upon its owner for its feed, usually at the convenience of the owner or handler. This meant that the horse was given a large amount of feed usually twice a day.

Unfortunately, the horse's digestive system has not had time to evolve to meet these new demands of larger feedings at given times, and, as a result, horses have a number of problems related to feeding and their digestive system.

When horsemen purchase a feed that has been scientifically formulated by the nutritionists at KER and produced at a KER Team Member’s manufacturing facility, they can expect the best: the highest quality vitamin and mineral packages, the choicest ingredients, and the most stringent quality-control measures.

KERx, a division of KER, brings horse owners a selection of nutritional supplements designed to complement the lifestyles of today’s horses.

KER disseminates volumes of information each year for the education and enjoyment of horse owners. Whether you breed, show, or simply ride for pleasure, horsemen are sure to find informative and entertaining articles in KER’s massive online library.
