FEATURES AND BENEFITS: - SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES AND LIFE STAGES OF HORSES WHEN FED ACCORDING TO FEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS.
SUPPLIES MORE PHOSPHORUS THAN CALCIUM to help balance the high calcium phosphorus ratio commonly seen in higher legume forages. THE DENSE CONCENTRATION OF ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS IN THIS LOW CALORIE PELLET PERMITS A LOW FEEDING RATE, resulting in the lowest-cost method available to supply the most critical nutrients to your horse.
- PROVIDES THE OPTIMAL BALANCE OF ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS for growth and muscle maintenance.
HIGHER LEVELS OF ESSENTIAL VITAMINS E AND C, AS WELL AS SELENIUM -- HIGHLY EFFECTIVE ANTIOXIDANTS, effective in reducing damage to body tissues from aging and exercise and enhancing your horse’s immunity.
THE LOW FEEDING RATE reduces the negative effects on horses that are hyperactive or have metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, laminitis, ulcers, obesity or tying-up issues.
