Truly Field to Bucket Philosophy
Buckeye Nutrition believes the wholesome ingredients used in their formulas should follow the shortest path possible from the fertile North American fields where they are grown and harvested to your equine pal's feed bucket. This means that the ingredients maintain their optimum freshness and nutritional power come feeding time, offering the maximum health benefits for your horse's well-being. Thanks to trusted relationships with farmers, Buckeye Nutrition can help your pal enjoy the field-fresh nutrition he deserves, every day.
Science-Based Equine Nutrition
Every Buckeye Nutrition formula has been developed and lab-proven by expert equine nutritionists and professional animal scientists who know horses inside and out. Using a meticulous scientific approach, they labor in labs and test kitchens to bring your horse optimized, solution-based supplements and treats. These are backed by industry-leading research, and tailored to the diverse requirements of different breeds, horse types, and life stages—from the foal to the workhorse, athlete and farm companion.
100% Traceable Ingredients
Every ingredient in a Buckeye Nutrition treat or supplement can be traced back to its source—to the fertile Ohio soil where corn and soybeans are grown, or the Canadian plains where the premium oats are harvested. So you can trust that every soybean and kernel of corn or oat that goes into your horse's feed bucket has been grown with care, selected using the strictest quality standards and nutrient requirements, and sourced from only 100% traceable, certified suppliers in North America.
Stable-Proven Supplements
Buckeye Nutrition brings together supplements to meet the diverse needs of horse owners, from weight gain feed mix-ins for difficult feeders to electrolyte and mineral replenishment, milk replacers for growing foals, low-calorie nutritional support, and skin and coat enhancers. All of their research-proven formulations are developed under the guidance of equine nutritionists and contain no medicines, ionophores, mycotoxins, artificial flavors or competition-banned substances.
Treats for Esteemed Equine Tastes
Buckeye Nutrition knows that some horses have the pickiest tastes in the trails or fields, and that even during snack time, owners are conscientious about sound nutrition. That's why they formulate digestible and perfectly nutritious treats with no added sugar, and never any additives, preservatives or artificial flavorings. Whether as an everyday reward, during training, or to help promote healthy mobility with the joint support formula, your horse will love these tasty pellets. Plus, they're made with 100% traceable and North American sourced ingredients like apples, carrots, steamed oats and peppermint oil.
