When to feed a Fibregenix Feed Balancer?

Aug 27, 2019

• When you can’t feed the recommended daily serve because your horse will put too much weight on.
• When you don’t want to feed any hard feed as you prefer your horse to have a more fibre based natural diet.
• When your horse has adverse reactions to any cereal/starch in his diet and again needs a more fibre based diet.
• When your horse struggles with condition no matter how much you feed and he has a compromised digestive system eg ulcers.
• When your feed room is cluttered with gazillions of tubs, pots and packs of different supplements. (Cut the clutter and use a Fibregenix Feed balancer instead!)
• When you are tired of trying to work out whether you are getting it right or wrong and you want feeding and supplementing your horse to be fuss free with peace of mind.
• When you are fed up with spending a fortune on multiple supplements and would prefer to have all your horse’s supplements catered for in one product.
• When you are looking for a great product that is formulated to give the results you want for your horse.

Why should I feed a balancer?

Aug 27, 2019

Surely my horse gets all the vitamins and minerals he needs from his current feed and if he is on a vitamin and mineral supplement too?

There are many specific hard feed/complete feed products on the market e.g. veteran mix/performance mix/leisure mix – these will be specially formulated with that type of horse in mind when it comes to essential nutrients i.e. a leisure mix probably won’t contain the same mg per kg of a mineral that a performance mix does. However, if you don’t feed the recommended daily amount as stated on the bag your horse won’t be getting his recommended daily amount of vitamins and minerals and his diet can end up unbalanced when you start second guessing and adding in other sources of vits/mins.  A balancer helps to bridge nutritional gaps by providing nutrients that are going to be easily absorbed and utillised by the horse, rather than providing surpluses which will simply be pee’d or poo’d out or even create potentially toxic levels and unbalanced ratios. Furthermore, a simple vit/min supplement, won’t help when there are condition issues or other digestive problems.

Our balancer supplements contain beneficial levels of specific nutrients geared towards things such as hoof health, coat and skin and digestive health as well as covering the general A to Z bases of vitamins and minerals.  So they’re providing far more than your average vitamin/mineral supplement….

What makes Fibregenix so special?

There are other ‘cheaper’ balancers out on the market, what’s so special about Fibregenix?

The form defines the function.  So we include nutrients in forms that are going to be readily available to the horse for maximum benefit. If an ingredient can’t be utilised by the horse, it may as well never have been fed….so make sure whatever balance you use, it ticks all the following boxes…

• 100% whole cereal free and 100% molasses free
• contains a hoof improvement supplement
• contains a correct balance of Omega 3 to Omega 6 from quality sources to support a healthy coat and skin
• contains beneficial levels of antioxidants such as a naturally derived form of vitamin E, a protected form of Vitamin C and bioavailable selenium as selenium yeast
• contains organic chelate minerals as glycinates
• contains beneficial levels of live yeast probiotic, MOS & a FOS Prebiotic. The live yeast probiotic is licensed for use in horses
• contains a Purified Nucleotide supplement?
• There’s a range for different categories of horses eg, laminitic types, performance horses, veterans or everyday horses and ponies
• Has tailored levels of the functional ingredients for different categories of horses
• Is super low in starch and sugar ie below 12%
• contains protein from a highly digestible source rather than a cheap source such as cottonseed meal?

If your current balancer doesn’t tick every box, then your horse is missing out. Not all balancers are created equal.
