Equimix Partners with Kentucky Equine Research to Produce Top-Quality Horse Feeds in Brazil
Equimix partnered with worldwide equine nutrition leader Kentucky Equine Research (KER) several years ago, and the partnership has secured Equimix's place as the leader in equine nutrition in Brazil. KER is recognized as the top private equine nutrition research company in the world.
KER's team of equine nutritionists have applied the most recent advances in equine nutrition to the formulation of all Equimix products. These feeds incorporate the highest quality ingredients and the attention to detail that KER's Team Members have made their signature trait.
In addition to superior feed formulations, KER introduced Microsteed and Gro-Trac to Brazil. Microsteed is a sophisticated software program used to complete balance diets based in all the essential nutrients required by horses. Gro-Trac is a growth evaluation program that allows breeders to contrast the growth rates of their stock with those of thousands of other horses of similar breed, age, and sex. By charting height, weight, and average daily gain, breeders can determine how their weanlings and yearlings stack up against other young horses. Using Equimix feeds as a foundation, horse owners can build rations that best suit the horses they are feeding. Equimix maintains its headquarters in Sorocaba, Sao Paulo, Brazil, strategically located to service the main breeding and training centers of the country. However Equimix's expertise is sought from every corner of the country.
KER has a rich tradition of providing top-of-the-line feeds to the greatest equine athletes in the world. In 2000, the company was tapped to be the official nutritionist of the United States Equestrian Team, and that sponsorship continues today. KER has also played a pivotal role in procuring feeds for the last four Olympic Games.
