Declared starch is 4.0%, achieved by leaving cereal grain out altogether: beet pulp, soya hulls and alfalfa meal are the first three ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it unusual is that it is a conditioning feed as well as a low-starch one — 8.0% oil and 18.0% crude fibre at 12.0 MJ\/kg, so a metabolic horse that also needs covering does not have to choose between the two.
