Pellets can be more nutritious. Pellets are simply a different form of feed, so in theory it should not make any difference in the overall nutrition. Yet, since each pellet contains about the same amount of nutrients, nutrition can be improved. Some horses will l pick out what they like best from textured feeds. Pellets are just as palatable as any other feeds.
Horses like to eat pellets just as much as they enjoy plain grains and molasses-mixed feeds.
Research has shown that horses have no preference. Using pellets, feed formulations can be adjusted to meet specific requirements and will still have good acceptance by the horse. Pellets are very digestible. No grain passes in the manure of horses fed pellets. Pellets are particularly good for old horses that have bad, or no, teeth.
