Performance
Just like you, your active horse requires the right fuel to power its performance, while maintaining a proper weight. Equis® Performance blends calorie-rich grains, oils and fiber with highly digestible vitamins, minerals and digestive aids in an energy-dense, textured feed formulated to keep your horse at its peak.
Benefits
- Equis® Performance blends many types of energy sources to produce a balanced feed that will succeed at keeping your horse at his proper weight and energy level, no matter the demand.
- Equis Performance 10% fat guarantee provides sustained energy for your horse’s activities. The high fat content has the additional benefit of coat bloom.
- Includes Alltech® BioMOS®, Diamond V Yeast Culture® and Nuwen Calsea Powder Advance at manufacturer’s recommended levels for your horse’s digestive wellness and immune balance through nutritional excellence.
- Equis Performance features SelPlex® from Alltech® as a natural selenium source in response to the low availability of this trace mineral in some forages.
- Includes Zinpro® 4-Plex EQ Performance Minerals®. Equis feeds contain complexed trace minerals including zinc, manganese and copper and cobalt. These minerals may only be required in small amounts each day, but they play a critical role in numerous metabolic functions that affect the health of the horse.
