Equine Plus™ HG Balancer – Hindgut Feed Base Balancer for Horses – 6.6 lb
Equine Plus™ HG Balancer
Hindgut Feed Base Balancer for Horses
Equine Plus™ HG Balancer is a concentrated feed balancer designed for use with locally sourced Equine Plus™ Feed Base ingredients.
The formula incorporates the nutritional approach of Nutrient Buffer® HG and provides vitamins, minerals, probiotics, timed-release buffering components, and other nutritional ingredients selected to support normal hindgut function, microbial balance, fiber fermentation, digestive stability, and nutrient utilization.
Each 6.6 lb balancer pack is formulated to combine with 43.4 lb of the appropriate Equine Plus™ Feed Base ingredients to make 50 lb of finished feed.
Designed Around Equine Hindgut Nutrition
Horses rely extensively on microbial fermentation in the hindgut to utilize dietary fiber.
The cecum and colon contain complex populations of microorganisms that participate in normal fermentation and digestive processes.
Equine Plus™ HG Balancer provides nutritional support for:
-
Normal hindgut function
-
Beneficial microbial balance
-
Normal fiber fermentation
-
Digestive stability
-
Nutrient utilization
-
Normal digestive processes
-
Balanced nutrition as part of the Equine Plus™ Feed Base system
Incorporating Nutrient Buffer® HG
Equine Plus™ HG Balancer incorporates the nutritional approach of Nutrient Buffer® HG directly into the Equine Plus™ Feed Base system.
The formula combines vitamins, minerals, probiotics, timed-release buffering components, and other nutritional ingredients to support the normal hindgut environment and microbial fermentation.
This allows owners and trainers using the Equine Plus™ Feed Base system to incorporate hindgut-focused nutritional support directly into the finished feed.
Microbial Balance & Fiber Fermentation
The equine hindgut contains a diverse microbial population involved in the fermentation of dietary fiber.
Normal microbial fermentation helps horses utilize fibrous feed ingredients and contributes to the nutritional value obtained from forage.
Equine Plus™ HG Balancer provides nutritional support for normal microbial balance, fiber fermentation, and digestive function as part of a comprehensive feeding program.
A Concentrated Feed-System Component
Equine Plus™ HG Balancer is not intended to be used as a conventional complete horse feed by itself.
It is a concentrated component of the Equine Plus™ Feed Base system.
For each 50 lb batch of finished feed:
6.6 lb Equine Plus™ HG Balancer
+ 43.4 lb appropriate Equine Plus™ Feed Base ingredients
= 50 lb finished feed
Following the correct mixing ratio is important to maintaining the intended nutritional composition of the finished feed.
