What is our Summer Horse Feed Balancer?
Our ultra-low iron, summer horse feed balancer has been formulated specifically for summer horse feeding using vast amounts of data obtained from scientific analysis of the many samples of forage we analyse. It contains only the commonly deficient minerals found to be needed to help balance a forage-based diet. The minerals used are of good quality to ensure against contamination with heavy metals and enable good absorption rates.
All Forageplus Summer Balancers are powders, are very low in sugar and starch, contain no fillers and only the highest purity minerals and vitamins. The balancers are best carried in a high fibre, fast soak feed or chop of your choice. If your horse is on a reduced grass or hay/haylage only diet then the Winter range of balancers are perfect as they contain high levels of vitamin E to maintain antioxidant processes to help neutralise against free radicals in the body.
Forageplus recommends the feeding of additional micronised linseed throughout the summer months if a horse is on a predominantly hay/haylage diet. This will ensure good levels of the essential fat omega 3 to maintain and support excellent health.
