Moore Natural
For more than 150 Years, the Moore Family has been farming hay and grain in the naturally nutrient-rich Brazos River Bottom, and now we are delivering a unique forage-based nutrition technology to the Texas performance and pleasure horse markets.
Rather than adding roughage co-products to your feed for the sake of meeting a fiber specification, they have invested in and delivered a carefully grown, tightly managed, high quality forage technology.
Moore Safe Forage Technology™ is designed to deliver high quality soluble fiber, which is the needed substrate for proper hindgut function, resulting in greater conversion of the overall daily diet into natural, safe and efficient energy for horses of all classes.
Moore Natural™ contains KER Micro-Max™ micronutrients, which are designed to deliver the optimal amount and proper balance of critical vitamins and minerals to each class of horse for breeding, growth, performance and overall health.
Balance Partners are companies that have made a commitment to offer correctly fortified feeds for horses across their line of equine feeds. They use industry-leading micronutrient ingredients at the appropriate levels to correctly fortify your horse’s diet. Through their partnership with the World Leaders in Equine Nutrition, Thomas Moore Feeds stays up-to-date on the latest in research and ingredient technology.

The KER Micronutrient Difference
A premix is a blend of micronutrients, primarily vitamins and minerals, which are not found in sufficient quantity in typical feed ingredients. A premix is added to commercial feeds to balance the vitamin and mineral profile. The highest quality premixes contain ingredients that have the greatest bioavailability to horses, and therefore do the most to support vital body processes.
Premixes allow manufacturers to evenly combine nutrients in large batches of feed. Certain vitamins and minerals must be included in feeds in minuscule measures. It is advantageous to blend these with ingredients added in larger quantities, so they do not clump and concentrate in one part of a mixture.
KER premixes are sourced from industry-leading manufacturers who adhere to the highest international standards of quality control.
Feeds that are properly fortified using KER micronutrients will meet or exceed the Kentucky Equine Research guidelines for nutrient requirements. These guidelines were developed through decades of research and are intended to supply horses with the optimum level of nutrients required for health and performance, not the minimum.
