Diet Evaluation

The nutritional team have gone from strength to strength, now offering the following services;
Educational seminars – Our nutritionists can visit your college or university, vet clinic, store, society or club event/competition to deliver education and feeding advice on a wide range of topics specific to the audience knowledge, age and discipline.

In-store consultations – Ranvet provides a thorough diet analysis service in person, at your local horse/feed store or saddlery. Bookings are taken in advance so that you can ‘ask the expert’ and have your horse’s ration balanced before your eyes.

Staff training - Take advantage of our new staff training service! Let our nutritionists provide your staff with simple product information and item comparisons in an informal, 15 minute presentation. You will be sure to have product flying off the shelves!

Pasture analysis – Ranvet’s pasture analysis provides the accurate digestible energy, protein and mineral content of your pasture samples. This is particularly important as the seasons change, to ensure the balanced diet of your horse at pasture. The analysis can also be combined with a hard feed diet analysis.

Video endoscopy service for gastric ulcers – Seeing is believing! The only way to know 100% if your horse is suffering from gastric ulcer syndrome.
