TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer

TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer

TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer is designed for broodmares, young stock and stallions. The low sugar and starch formula will promote superb muscle and skeletal development without providing the excess calories which can result in overtopping.

TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer improves the amount of nutrients a horse can extract from his total diet (forage and concentrate) in three ways: -

1. The amino acids, vitamins and minerals in Stud Feed Balancer balance the deficiencies of these nutrients in forage and straights/blends, compared to the requirements of the horse, improving their utilisation.
2. The pure, protected yeast probiotic in Stud Feed Balancer optimises the digestion of fibre in the hindgut, allowing the horse to gain more benefit from the diet. Research has shown that the specific yeast used by TopSpec significantly improves both total feed and fibre digestibility in the horse.
3. Another useful yeast product in Stud Feed Balancer, called a prebiotic, is mannan oligosaccharide (MOS). This is a constituent of yeast cell walls. It bonds with pathogenic (bad) bacteria, removing them from the gut, leaving the beneficial bacteria free to multiply and therefore digest fibre more efficiently.

This all means that breeding stock can receive optimum nutrition from reduced levels of hard feed, with many resulting benefits.

TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer greatly improves hoof, skin and coat quality. It also helps to maintain appetite. It moderates the effects of stress on horses and helps to maintain a healthy immune system.

TopSpec Stud Feed Balancer also provides the following benefits for: -

Broodmares

• Provides the nutrients to optimise fertility.
• Promotes colostrum quality.
• Promotes milk quality and yield.
• Helps to maintain good body condition whilst lactating.
• All the micronutrient requirements of the in-utero foal are met, helping the foal to reach its maximum potential at birth.

Foals and Youngstock

Stud Feed Balancer is very palatable, and beneficial for foals from three weeks of age. Younger foals may safelynibble at their dam's Stud Feed Balancer but until they are three weeks of age they will not benefit fully from it as their digestive systems will not be mature enough to digest it efficiently.
