Baileys No14 Lo Cal Balancer Horse 20kg

Product Information

Providing comprehensive nutritional care for older horses, this balancer comes in the form of a cereal-free mash, which allows it to be ingested easily, even when dentition is poor. It is low in sugar and starch and contains omega-3 to support joint mobility and muscle suppleness. In addition, Lo-Cal Balancer now has even lower starch and sugar levels, meaning it is even more suitable for equines prone to laminitis, while protected probiotic yeast and Digest Plus prebiotic support fibre-digesting bacteria, general gut health and digestive efficiency. This is of particular importance in the aftermath of a laminitic episode as a disruption in the gut microbial population will have occurred.

Balancers are formulated to be fed alongside forage (pasture, hay, haylage), of average nutritional quality, although this will provide varying levels of fibre and calories, according to a range of factors. The fibre element is of particular importance to the maintenance of gut health so, even if forage intake has to be limited to control the amount of calories in a horse’s diet, it should never fall below the equivalent, in weight, of 1% of the horse’s bodyweight. For horses that do not respond to strict dietary and exercise management, vets may recommend medication, like Metformin, to promote weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity. However, this should not be seen as a replacement to reducing calorie intake and increasing exercise. It is also thought that medication may be most useful when given prior to starch and/or sugar ingestion, for example pre-turnout.You’d think from the plethora of balancers now on the market that they were the best thing since sliced bread – well, they are - for some horses!

The quadruple-action digestive supplement, which combines a probiotic with prebiotic MOS, nucleotides, and sepiolite clay, creates the ideal conditions for a healthy digestive system, crucial for horses prone to laminitis. A feed balancer for laminitis provides essential nutrients, such as biotin, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which promote healthy hooves and support recovery from laminitis.

trict management is required for weight loss and to improve insulin sensitivity. If diet AND exercise are not controlled simultaneously, the efficacy of weight loss is considerably lower. Lo-Cal’s superior vitamin, mineral and antioxidant content supports good health and includes chelated minerals, which are more easily absorbed by the horse’s body. It has always contained health levels of biotin, alongside other nutrients known to encourage healthy hoof growth, and now biotin levels have been boostedto 30mg/kg (from 20mg/kg) to deliver those positively identified, byrecognisedresearch, of 3mg/100kg bodyweight/day ie. 15mg/500kg horse/day,just to be (even more) sure!
