British Horse Feeds Launch New Natural Country Veteran Care™ Mix
Following an extensive period of research British Horse Feeds
has launched Veteran CareTM Mix, within their popular
Natural Country Range.
Using their understanding of biochemistry and physiology in the
older horse, coupled with an in depth knowledge of nutrient
profiles, British Horse Feeds has produced a functional feed that
will off-set, as far as possible, age related changes (including
changes that are mechanical, digestive, physiological and
immunological).
Formulated specifically for the mature digestive system, the New
Veteran CareTM Mix has a fibre profile ideal for the
older horse. The high specification of carefully selected, natural
ingredients includes Speedi-Beet (that also works as a probiotic),
plant extracts (to combat the negative effects in hindgut
fermentation), 100% of key minerals in a natural form and enhanced
vitamin and antioxidant levels to maintain optimum uptake, maintain
the integrity of the gut wall and nutritionally assist natural
defences.
Inclusion of whole milk also provides ideal protein, highly
available lactose and essential oils. Protein levels are formulated
to provide optimum levels of essential amino acids, in particular
lysine and methionine, to match the changing physiology of the
ageing horse.
Support for bones is available thanks to the added Conjugated
Linoleic Acid (CLA) which helps to maintain bone accretion. Yucca
Saponins 'mop up' fermentative end products reducing their
adsorption across the hindgut, many of which have been implicated
in joint cartilage destruction.
Cereals in the feed are precision micronized to maximise small
intestine digestion and starch levels have been partly replaced
with highly available disaccharides. Highly available sugars and
protein ensure ease of digestion and the mix can be fed wet as an
aid for poor dentition.
RRP for a 20kg bag of Veteran CareTM Mix is around
£9.90.
