Science & Expertise
At BUCKEYE™ Nutrition, we combine science, innovation and a passion for horses to produce the highest quality equine feeds on the market.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND OUR BRAND
To deliver the highest quality, safest equine feeds available, we rely on scientific research relevant to equine nutrition. Your horse deserves nutritional excellence. It’s an important component to a healthy, happy life.
We have a long-standing partnership with the WALTHAM™ Petcare Science Institute. WALTHAM has pioneered some of the most important global breakthroughs in pet nutrition research. Alongside support from the WALTHAM Equine Studies Group, BUCKEYE Nutrition works closely with university and academic partners to design and complete scientific research in areas relevant to equine nutrition, performance, behavior, and welfare.
Research findings, paired with a meticulous approach to formulation, allow us to create science-based, solutions-focused products. Each product is designed to address the unique needs of different breeds, life stages, and activity levels.
We’re constantly working to bring targeted nutrition to your horse. See all of our scientifically formulated, solution-based feeds.
EQUINE NUTRITION EXPERTS.
Our equine nutrition team consists of professional animal scientists with doctorates and other advanced degrees, as well as those with extensive equine knowledge and experience. They are responsible for product innovation, research, nutritional consultation, formulations and customer care.
Our nutritionists and advisors are not just immersed in the science of horses; they’re horse people too. Because they bring their own experience as horse owners to their jobs, they have a deep understanding of how the right feed affects health, performance and wellbeing.
Our nutrition team is available to answer nutrition questions, product questions, and to help create individualized feeding programs for your horse. Reach out through our Contact Us tab to get in touch.
SCIENCE AT THE MILL.
BUCKEYE Nutrition is a single-mill company. Regardless of where in North America you purchase our products, every bag comes from our single mill in northeast Ohio. BUCKEYE Nutrition has multiple technologies available within our mill to produce pellets, textured feeds, and extruded products as well as handle fat application and delivery of live probiotics. The ability to produce feed using multiple nutrient delivery methods allows us to address a variety of equine nutritional needs. Having all manufacturing consolidated under one roof is uncommon in the feed industry, but this approach enables us to strictly control product and ingredient quality and safety.
