Fyto – balanced by nature

After a long period of development, testing and elaboration, the time has come: Garvo presents the new horse range! Developed in cooperation with Fyto Horse Care Putten.

Fyto means ‘originated from plants’. What horses eat is very important, not only for their health but also for their behaviour. Health and behavioural problems are often caused by an imbalance in the digestive system, which makes the horse feel uncomfortable. Fyto focuses specifically on restoring this balance. Fyto feed is specifically composed to stimulate your horse’s health from the inside, without burdening the digestive system.

Feeding tailored to their needs

Fyto responds to the growing demand for conscious feeding for all horses. More and more people are becoming health-conscious, not only for themselves, but for their animals as well. This fits in with our goal to provide every horse that is tailored to their needs, and thus contributes to their health, vitality and zest for life.

Balanced energy supply

Through a higher fat content, Fyto contributes to a balanced energy supply, ensuring minimal acidification during (heavy) performance and breeding.

Why are these fats so important?

The combustion of fats from the feed proceeds differently to that of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are a fast available fuel, of which the horse can store less and burn it faster. A horse can store much more fat and burns it more slowly.

Minimal amount of lactic acid in the muscles

The difference in combustion can be compared to the difference between a match and a candle. The match
lights up quickly, goes out quickly and leaves a residue. This is the burning of sugar in a horse’s body. Fat burning can be compared to a candle: a constant, calm burning of the entire candle without leaving a residue. When the horse gets its energy from fats, only a minimal amount of lactic acid builds up in the muscles.
