Purina WellSolve L/S Horse Feed
Purina WellSolve L/S Horse Feed offers a low starch and sugar diet for horses with special needs. Developed after thorough research of equine carbohydrate metabolism to provide the best diet for horses with special needs. Added antioxidants address the negative effects of free radicals and support a strong immune system. Also, a blend of vegetable oils provides essential fatty acids for shine & bloom. A concentrated feed to be used with hay or pasture. In addition, fermentable fiber to the hindgut is a slow-release energy source with very little to no insulin response. With a guaranteed maximum of 11%, this feed is low starch and sugar with no molasses or grain. A proprietary blend of amino acids maintains muscle tone. Provides 100% of the required vitamins and minerals when fed as directed
We researched many aspects, including the amounts and types of fiber, the ideal feed form, the unique vitamin and mineral requirements of horses on low starch and sugar diets, as well as energy requirements. We adjusted protein-to-energy ratios and added high quality essential amino acids as well as antioxidants and essential fatty acids. It’s an enormous balancing act that requires the consideration of more than just the sugar and starch levels. However, the result is worth it – Purina WellSolve L/S Horse Feed is a nutritionally balanced, highly palatable diet that veterinarians and horse owners can use with confidence.
