*Specifically, colic caused by grain. This product does
not claim to prevent colic, but
reduces the risk of colic compared to feeding more grain.
Traditionally, horses needing more calories for increased stamina were fed more grain. However, excessive amounts of grain can lead to digestive upset, such as colic, diarrhea and even laminitis. Plus, grains are digested as simple sugars, which can make a horse 'hot' or hyperactive.
Benefits of adding fat to horses' diets:
- Maintains and enhances body weight
- Enchances skin, coat and overall body condition
- Easily metabolised. No digestive tract upset
- More calories than equal weights of grain therefore less volume needs to be fed
- Allows for decreased heat production
- Spares glycogen stores in muscles
