Gelatine

Description

Gelatine for Horses

Gelatine is a protein derived from collagen and is used in equine diets as a source of amino acids that contribute to overall nutrition.

In horses, gelatine is commonly included to:

• Provide amino acids such as glycine and proline, which are components of connective tissues
• Contribute to general protein intake as part of a balanced diet
• Support overall condition and nutritional balance
• Be used alongside other dietary components in feeding programs focused on maintaining normal tissue structure

Nutritional Context

Gelatine is not a complete protein but supplies specific amino acids that play a role in the body’s natural structural components, including skin, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.

In practical use

It is often included in:

• General conditioning programs
• Diets where additional protein sources are used
• Feeding plans aimed at supporting overall condition and structure

Important note

Gelatine is typically used as part of a balanced diet, together with other protein sources, vitamins, and minerals.
