New Local Vitamin and Mineral Supplement
PACIFIC SPIRIT^® Horse Formula

Pacific Spirit's new vitamin and trace mineral supplement for horses is a superior high potency supplement that includes 80mg/lb of biotin. Manufactured in Portland, OR, Pacific Spirit horse formula is the first product in what will be a full line of specialty feed products from Pacific Spirit. Due out in selected feed dealerships by October 1996, "Pacific Spirit horse formula can be considered insurance against many nutritional inadequacies. It is recommended for horses on an unsupplemented feeding program, such as forages and unfortified grain mixes, like C.O.B (corn, oats and barley), and also for horses on low levels of fortified grains", said Dr. R.C. Dobson, Director of Nutrition. "When unfortified grain mixes and low levels of fortified grain mixes are supplemented with Pacific Spirit and a high quality forage, a horse owner can be confident they are providing their horse with all essential vitamins and trace minerals," Dobson stated.

Pacific Spirit also contains important amino acids and live yeast for increased digestion. "We're really excited about this product...," said Gordon Bell, Product Manager, "... we researched many other supplements on the market and realized there didn't appear to be any providing a complete vitamin and mineral balance along with a high level of biotin, which is essential for healthy hoof growth. We realized it was important to offer the horse owner a balanced vitamin and trace mineral supplement that included a high level of biotin, as recommended by Roche, a leader in biotin and hoof health research." Pacific Spirit is available through Albers, Darigold, and Land O'Lakes dealers in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Hawaii, and parts of Montana, Utah, and Alaska.
