Balancers are very versatile feed that have been specifically formulated to be fed at low intake. Balancers provide a low calorie, concentrated source of essential protein, vitamins and minerals, some also contain additional beneficial ingredients such as yeast and prebiotics.
Balancers are ideal for good-doers, including those prone to laminitis, as they provide a concentrated source of nutrients needed to balance a forage only diet, without oversupplying calories. Balancers are also an extremely useful way of ‘topping-up’ a horse’s vitamin and mineral intake; for example, if a horse is being fed less than the recommended amount of another hard feed or when appetite is restricted.
