In recent weeks we have received a number of inquiries about an effective vitamin, mineral and trace element supplement for horses in concentrated form. Unfortunately, the formerly popular and well-known Equitop Forte is no longer available. We have an effective alternative exclusively for veterinarians that is already used by many equine veterinarians.
What was Equitop forte?
Equitop Forte contained vitamins, minerals and trace elements for horses in concentrated form. The supplementary feed was often recommended by veterinarians and was suitable for horses that were subject to high performance requirements as well as for breeding mares and stallions. In addition, the highly concentrated vital substances supported the horses during the shedding period, in times of stress and in the convalescence phase after an illness.
The product was manufactured by the brand Boehringer Ingelheim.
What alternatives are there to Equitop forte from the vet?
First of all, you should decide whether you would prefer to use a liquid, pelleted or powdered supplementary feed.
Popular feed additives are:
Equistro Mega Base – powder form, a high-quality mineral feed for horses to support the coverage of nutritional needs.
Navalis Orthosal – pellets, a supplementary feed for horses for the daily supply of micronutrients.
VetVital Viequo 100% - Liquid, The Multivitamin Cocktail

Equine America Equine Everyday Vitamins – Powder, a supplementary feed to ensure a balanced diet for horses and ponies fed feed with particularly low or high nutritional value
Hestevard VMZ-25 – powder, an additional source of vitamins and trace elements for all horses
Our recommendation Hestevard VMZ-25:
VMZ-25 is a powdered feed supplement that provides an additional source of vitamins and trace elements for all horses. It is particularly suitable for horses on pasture, for horses fed only grain and hay, or as a nutritional supplement for horses recovering from illness.
When fed regularly, VMZ-25 ensures the basic mineral supply, which is the basis for all horses. By feeding a high-quality mineral concentrate daily, the gaps in traditional stable feeding are closed.
