TopSpec AntiLam Horse Feed

TopSpec AntiLam Horse Feed

TopSpec AntiLam is a pelleted multi-supplement designed to provide nutritional support for those prone to, being treated for, or recovering from laminitis. AntiLam is used and recommended by nutritionists, vets and farriers. 15Kg

Most overweight ponies, and some overweight horses, are susceptible to laminitis.

TopSpec AntiLam Horse Feed is a brilliant formulation combining several supplements with a high-fibre, very low-calorie carrier to make it palatable. Long-term trials at Middle Park Laminitis Research Unit have shown that horses and ponies on restricted/poor grazing do not gain any weight when fed AntiLam. It can also be used very successfully as part of a calorie-controlled diet when weight loss is required.

This unique multi-supplement is so palatable that it can be fed out of the hand to horses and ponies at pasture to provide vital nutritional support.

AntiLam should be fed on its own with forage. The forage can be in the form of late-cut hay and/or unmolassed chops e.g. TopChop Lite, or controlled grazing, or a combination of these, depending on the individual circumstances.

For example, we would recommend that an overweight 12hh pony, on box-rest because of laminitis should receive 125gms of AntiLam plus 1kg of TopChop Lite twice a day. In addition, 2kg (1 flap) of late-cut meadow hay that has been soaked for about 12 hours in ample fresh, cool, clean water, should be fed daily.

Once horses and ponies have recovered from laminitis, they can stay on AntiLam permanently. However if extra condition is needed Comprehensive Feed Balancer is a very safe product to use. If extra condition is not needed we recommend that horses and ponies stay on AntiLam for at least a year but after that they can be fed Lite Feed Balancer provided they are not obese.

TopSpec AntiLam contains the following features: -

• The level of biotin (15mg/500kg horse/day) that is scientifically proven to improve hoof quality, plus the levels of methionine, cysteine, lysine, calcium, zinc, copper, iodine, and vitamin A known to improve the efficiency of biotin alone. Chelated sources of copper and zinc are included in the formulation. Certain of these nutrients also promote supple skin and a shiny coat.
• High levels of a pure, protected yeast to help maintain near-neutral (normal and healthy) conditions in the hindgut.*
