It is cereal-grain free and oat-free, with soya bean meal, extruded soya and sunflower seed meal supplying the protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe point of a balancer is to fill the vitamin, mineral and amino-acid gaps in a forage-only or restricted diet without adding calories, and the fortification here is roughly four times that of the RED MILLS compound feeds — 60,000 iu vitamin A and 1,500mg vitamin E per kilogram. At 200g a day a 20kg bag lasts a 500kg horse a good while.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30.0% crude protein with added L-lysine, for topline and muscle on a low-calorie intake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeclared starch of 3.0% — the lowest of any RED MILLS feed we stock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCereal-grain free and oat-free, so it adds nutrients without adding cereal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentrated fortification per kg: 60,000 iu vitamin A, 10,000 iu vitamin D3, 1,500mg vitamin E, 200mg vitamin C, 17.6mg vitamin K3 and 15mg biotin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper 195mg, manganese 325mg, zinc 600mg and selenium 2.0mg per kg, each including a chelated source.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaerl at 2.5% and mannan-\/fructo-oligosaccharides at 1% — ten times the prebiotic inclusion of the compound feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood doers and horses on a calorie-controlled diet that still need full nutrition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses on forage alone, or on less than the recommended rate of a compound feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses prone to laminitis, insulin resistance or EMS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompetition horses travelling and working in demanding conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses under stress from travel, training or a busy season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a source of calories — a horse that needs to gain weight needs a conditioning feed alongside it, such as Red Mills Horse Care ULTRA Cubes or Red Mills Define \u0026amp; Shine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight work: 100g per 100kg bodyweight daily — 500g for a 500kg horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerate work: 150g per 100kg bodyweight daily — 750g for a 500kg horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard work: 200g per 100kg bodyweight daily — 1kg for a 500kg horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduce the rate where the horse is also receiving a fortified compound feed at or near its recommended level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed alongside good forage with clean, fresh water always available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse an accurate scoop or scales — at these rates a rough guess is a large percentage error.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: soya bean meal, soya bean extruded, sunflower seed meal, alfalfa meal, mono-dicalcium phosphate, cane molasses, beet pulp, maerl 2.5%, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, mannan-\/fructo-oligosaccharides 1%, sodium chloride, L-lysine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypical analysis: crude protein 30.0%, crude fibre 9.0%, crude oils and fats 6.0%, crude ash 17.0%.
