It’s also important to note that, in most cases, you need to feed an electrolytein addition to the balancer if your horse requires one. This concentrated formula is described as suitable for all – from the family pony to performance horse. It contains key ingredients to optimise gut function, combined with optimum nutritional supplement specification that balances a high-fibre, low-concentrate, or performance diet. There are also balancers which contain additional nutrients or “nutraceuticals”, for example, to support joint health. These can be useful but, if your horse has a real problem or his lifestyle is demanding on his joints, feeding a specially formulated supplement, in addition to your balancer or hard feed, will allow you to feed higher levels of a wider range of nutraceutical ingredients to, hopefully, greater benefit.

Monitor Feed Intake: Regularly weigh your horse’s feed to ensure accurate and consistent portion sizes. Managing laminitis in horses requires careful attention to nutrition, in addition to veterinary care and lifestyle changes. Utilizing a laminitis-specific horse feed balancer can play a significant role in improving a horse’s health and well-being, making it an essential component of any laminitis management plan. Home / Health / Horse Feed & Supplements / Balancers For Horses With LaminitisThe inclusion of Omega 3 and zinc ensures healthy, scurf-free skin and a glossy coat, while antioxidants like selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E promote a healthy immune system. Divide the total daily amount into as many feeds, per day, as you possibly can. Keep meal sizes small for optimum digestion and to avoid overloading the horse’s system. As a guide, we recommend no more than 0.5kg of mix/cubes/balancer per 100kg bodyweight, per meal. Do not exceed a total of 1½ - 2 kg (3½ -4 lbs) per feed for a horse and 1¼ - 1½ kg (3 - 3½ lbs), for a pony (including additional chaff or sugar beet pulp, if fed). As well as being the first balancer to be accredited by BETA as suitable for horses prone to gastric ulcers, Performance Balancer has been improved to:

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. Lo-Cal Balancer is a top specification nutrient-dense pelleted balancer, containing all a horse or pony needs for health and well-being, without the calories associated with a traditional mix or cube. Quality protein sources supply essential amino acids to build and repair muscle and other tissues, including tendons and hooves, while added linseed contributes essential Omega 3 fatty acids for supple skin and a super-shiny coat. Lo-Cal’s formula has been subtly amended to accomodate this, and the other improvements, which have no effect on the overall calorie (DE) content of the original LOw CALorie balancer!

Aimed at good-doers in work, this low-calorie balancer provides all the nutrients you’d find in a competition mix or cube, but without the associated calories, making it ideal for horses who are stressy or excitable but require nutrients for health and performance. Low levels of starch and sugar also make it suitable for horses prone to gastric ulcers. It can be fed as the sole concentrate, alongside forage, or added to reduced quantities of other hard feeds, to ensure a fully balanced diet. 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. This balancer supports digestion, comfort and movement in older horses. It is high in antioxidants to support immune health and has probiotics and prebiotics to support digestive health. It also contains high levels of glucosamine, MSM and omega-3 to support joint health.

Refrain from giving sugary treats or fruits, as they can increase the overall sugar intake and worsen the condition. 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! Designed for older horses who are actively competing or in light work, this balancer provides quality protein and all the vitamins and minerals a veteran requires in a low-volume, low-calorie way, which is ideal for horses that hold their weight well and don’t need a lot of compound feed.

ADVISORY

A horse feed balancer designed for laminitis provides a carefully formulated blend of essential nutrients, while controlling starch and sugar intake. In addition to the above guidelines regarding turnout, access to grass may need restricting by use of strip grazing, muzzling etc. This targeted approach to nutrition helps to support hoof health, manage weight, and reduce inflammation, all crucial elements in managing laminitis effectively. In addition, Lo-Cal Balancer has lowstarch and sugar levels, meaning it is 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.
