Win TopSpec Cool Feed Balancer
TopSpec Cool Feed Balancer has been designed for horses and ponies in light to medium work. It is a moderately conditioning, ‘Non-Heating’ feed balancer.
Cool Feed Balancer is a safe and effective way to improve condition and topline, without promoting excitable behaviour. Using it is an ideal way to complement grass, hay or haylage intake for horses and ponies in light to medium work.
Cool Feed Balancer is an economical feed balancer for those horses that do not need a hoof supplement and are not working hard or showing or in any other demanding circumstances.
Further Key Nutritional Facts:-
- Cereal-grain-free, with low levels of sugar and starch, important for those horses needing controlled levels in their diet. Because it contains very low levels of sugar and starch, and is fed in very low amounts, the chance of excess sugars and starch overflowing from the foregut to the hindgut and causing a microbial imbalance leading to acidic conditions, is virtually eliminated. Therefore, the chances of a horse behaving badly due to ‘acid guts’ are minimised.
- Feeding Cool Feed Balancer improves the amount of nutrients that a horse can extract from his feed in similar ways to Comprehensive Feed Balancer. Because the horse can extract more nutrients from forage, the amount of concentrate that needs to be fed can be reduced. This benefits digestion and is a more natural way of feeding, leading to a more relaxed horse.
- The forage to concentrate ratio is also improved because Cool Feed Balancer is very nutrient-dense. It is fed in very small quantities, for example just 500g (approximately two TopSpec measures) a day for a typical 15.2hh middleweight weighing 500kg. A small amount of hard feed obviously leaves more space in the digestive system for forage than a large hard feed.
- Many factors, including yeast and B vitamins, to help relax behaviour in responsive horses.
- Good quality protein to provide the building blocks for muscle development and topline.
- Maintenance levels of biotin, plus associated nutrients, to help preserve hoof quality.
- Magnesium is included at 0.6%, which will contribute 3g of magnesium per day to the diet of a 500kg horse. This may help some horses to concentrate better, particularly if anxious.
- Pure, protected yeast to aid fibre digestibility in the hindgut.
- Organic chelated minerals for improved availability.
