***A Balanced Nutritional Package***
- A combination of fermentable fiber, carbohydrates and increased fat that provides sequential energy release necessary to meet the energy requirements of actively competing mature horses and pleasure-riding horses fed good quality roughage.
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast culture) aid in improving fiber utilization and help protect against intestinal disorders or generalized infections from intestinal origin.
- B vitamins to help promote and regulate several body functions, and added biotin to provide hoof strength and integrity.
***Performance and Growth***
- Contains guaranteed amino acid lysine which serve as building blocks of quality protein needed for cellular building blocks of enzymes, hormones, tissues and skeletal framework necessary for performing horses.
- Remember, young growing horses and pregnant mares are more sensitive to protein quality than mature horses because of the physiological differences.
***Immune Support***
- Adequate intake of balanced minerals in bioavailable forms and vitamins with natural tocopherols helps to ensure normal cell function, antioxidant protection of membranes and structural tissue integrity.
- Minerals play a critical role in numerous metabolic functions including immunity, reproduction, lactation, growth, and development.
- Negative effects from stress are reduced when horses have adequate trace mineral status with readily available minerals.
A good feeding program is based on the weight, activity level, life stage and body condition of the horse that keeps it healthy and productive, and it is only as effective as the quality of management practices.
