At DelsaFeed, we create high-quality flavors for horses. We design intense, appealing additives that redefine feed taste to match equines’ favorite flavors. Our formulas are the result of decades of experience, sensory research, and strict quality control. The DelsaFeed guarantee ensures a unique, certified flavor experience. We deliver a flavor boost for manufacturers looking to elevate the quality of their feeds.
It’s no surprise that flavors like apple and molasses make horses salivate, but capturing these notes in an additive that blends perfectly with feed is another matter. Our team innovates daily to refine our flavors, making them ever more natural and tasty.
Farmers already understand the impact of an attractive flavor in feed, which is why demand for this type of product keeps growing. At DelsaFeed, we provide horse feed manufacturers with high-quality flavors that integrate naturally into their feeds and elevate them to premium products.
Backed by FAMI-QS, IFEAT, and FEED certifications, our processes ensure maximum safety, consistency, and excellence. These global standards guarantee that our equine palatability solutions are reliable and stable, optimizing feed acceptance and the overall feeding experience.
Yes, horses clearly distinguish flavors, but not exactly like humans. They perceive taste mainly through tongue papillae, which detect sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavors, though they do not sense umami as humans do. Smell plays a major role, as much of what they “taste” is actually detected by aroma. Soft, sweet, or fruity notes are especially appealing, while strong or unpleasant odors can cause feed rejection.
Their favorites are sweet and fruity flavors, such as apple and carrot, though they also enjoy salty tastes. They reject bitter flavors because their survival instincts associate them with toxic herbs or plants.
They are mainly used to stimulate the horse’s interest in feed. Flavors create strong stimulus-response patterns that help establish consistency in feeding habits. This is especially useful for horses with low appetite, animals in recovery, or during diet changes, supporting stable intake and maintaining good body condition.
