Description

Senior Lite Feed Balancer is designed for elderly horses that are prone to weight gain. It combines the benefitsof a low-calorie feed balancer and a joint supplement, in a highly cost-effective way. Senior Lite Feed Balancer is formulated without cereal grains and provides only low levels of sugar and starch.

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.

Horse/Pony Weight (kgs)	Typical Height	Type	Recommended Daily Rate
250	10-12hh Small pony	Shetland, Dartmoor, Welsh Sec A	250g
375	12.2-14.2hh Pony	Connemara, New Forest, Fell, Welsh Sec B & C, Show Hunter Pony	375g
500	15-16hh Horse	Thoroughbred, Thoroughbred X, Arab, Arab X, Welsh Cob, Connemare X, Eventer	500g

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

Senior Lite Feed Balancer is available in 15kg sacks, which last a 500kg horse for 30 days or a 250kg pony for 60 days.
