Description

Senior Feed Balancer is designed for elderly horses. It combines the benefits of a feed balancer and a joint supplement, in a highly cost-effective way. This Balancer is formulated without cereal grains and provides only low levels of sugar and starch. It is important to keep the starch intake of elderly horses low when fibre intake is compromised, in order to maintain healthy hindgut function and avoid loose droppings.

Designed For:

  • Elderly horses and ponies

Features:

  • Very palatable ‘Non-Heating’ formula
  • Helps maintain mobility
  • Good quality protein to help promote topline and condition
  • Optimum levels of all the micronutrients needed to balance feed and improve its utilisation
  • Helps to maintain healthy joints
  • Helps to maintain healthy lung tissues
  • Helps to maintain healthy cells (avoids speeding the ageing process)
  • Optimises muscle development and function
  • Aids fibre digestibility
  • Maintain a healthy immune system
  • Improves hoof quality
  • Promotes a supple skin and a shiny coat
  • Compensates for decreased production in the hindgut when fibre intake is limited
  • Maintains strong bones

Many factors to help relax behaviour.Senior Feed Balancer is available in 15kg sacks, which last a 500kg horse for 30 days or a 250kg pony for 60 days

How much to feed?

Quantities to be fed

Most TopSpec Feed Balancers should be fed at a rate of 100g balancer/100kg bodyweight daily. The following table will help you to decide how much to feed to your horses or ponies. (As a guide a half-pint mug holds approximately 200g of any TopSpec Feed Balancer). Please refer to the sack or to TopSpec’s Multiple Award Winning Helpline for feeding rates of TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer and TopSpec Racing Feed Balancer as they are fed at higher rates.

Important points

  • As with all new feeds TopSpec products should always be introduced gradually over a period of four days, starting with approximately one quarter of the amount you intend to feed by day four. TopSpec feed balancers can be fed with forage alone or with your choice of straights/blends and/or compound feeds
  • The diet of sweating horses must be supplemented with additional salt, especially if feed intake is low. All horses should have access to a salt-lick 24/7 but common table salt should be added to the feed of sweating horses daily
  • Keep an eye on the horse’s condition as feeding TopSpec Feed Balancers with other hard feeds means over a period of 4-6 weeks you may need to reduce the other hard feed
  • In most cases do not add feed supplements within TopSpec Feed Balancers. Additives e.g. TopSpec Calmer, TopSpec 10:10 Joint Support, TopSpec Electrolytes can be added if required
  • We are frequently asked if garlic can be fed with TopSpec, the answer is yes, for any herb
