TopSpec Lite Feed Balancer is designed for horses and ponies that are good doers. It is ideal for horses that are overweight when fed as part of a calorie-controlled diet. These are the horses and ponies for whom every single calorie counts, and we do not believe you will find a lower calorie feed balancer anywhere.
Lite Feed Balancer is a cereal-grain-free, low sugar and starch, ‘Non-Heating’, and high fibre formula; with a considered level of protein to help maintain muscle function but avoid promoting body condition.
It is very important that this group of horses and ponies receive their requirements of vitamins and minerals. Lite Feed Balancer allows them to receive all the micronutrients required to balance the diet of horses in light to medium work in a small amount of exceptionally low-calorie feed. It is so palatable that it can be fed on its own, or with a little TopChop Lite.
Long term trials have shown that horses and ponies on restricted/poor grazing (i.e. calorie-controlled) do not gain any additional weight when fed Lite Feed Balancer. It can be used very successfully as part of a calorie-controlled diet when weight loss is required.
Lite Feed Balancer is suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis. It can also be fed to horses and ponies undergoing veterinary care. However, our nutritionists recommend AntiLam Forage Balancer is fed in these circumstances to provide a higher level of micronutrients.
