Spillers® were established in 1958 and have developed their range from just manufacturing Horse & Pony Cubes, to producing an extensive selection of high-quality feeds to suit every horse’s needs.
Here’s what Spillers® have to say, “For over 50 years, we have continued to lead research, innovation and development in horse feed products and equine nutrition. We are passionate to help benefit the lives of our horses and ponies; whether competitive performance is the goal or simply enjoying the pleasures that horses bring, our expertise ensures that you can provide the best nutrition for your horse.
As horse owners ourselves we are totally committed to research that will make a difference to our horse’s health and happiness today. Through our continued work with WALTHAM we collaborate with vets and nutritionists throughout the world to improve our knowledge of how nutrition can affect your horse’s health, behaviour, welfare and performance. This work places us in a unique position to provide the best nutrition for our horses and ponies today.”
Because they are committed to creating a better world for horses, Spillers® work with The WALTHAM Equine Studies Group to ensure Spillers® feeds are as nutritious as they can be. Following are the three primary areas within which The WALTHAM Equine Studies Group focus their research:
“Obesity - In horses and ponies, obesity can contribute to a number of health issues. The WALTHAM initiated International Obesity Research Consortium seeks to improve our understanding of the causes and effects of obesity as well as how best to manage overweight and obese animals.
Laminitis - The WALTHAM initiated International Laminitis Research Consortium is dedicated to enhancing our understanding of this very painful and debilitating condition. Work is particularly focusing on how to identify individuals who are at increased risk and how their management can be supported through nutrition.
Age related care - WALTHAM has been actively working in this key area for many years through ongoing collaborative projects with Michigan/Minnesota in the US and Liverpool/Surrey/Aberystwyth in the UK. More recently the WALTHAM Equine Studies Group has formed a new research partnership with the University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Center another internationally recognised equine research facility. Through these collaborations, WALTHAM will continue to support research dedicated to advancing the science of senior horse nutrition, ultimately helping horse owners keep their horses and ponies happy and healthier for longer.”
