Benchmark Horse Feeds Balancer Mash 20kg
- Suitable for
- Horses
Benchmark Balancer Mash is a concentrated nutritional formula packed with essential nutrients and amino acids but without the carbohydrates - served as a convenient mash.
Balancers or concentrates are a very useful nutritional tool that can make a valuable contribution to your horse’s diet. A balancer contains a concentrated amount of nutrition in a small daily dose.
Genuine balancers contain high levels of essential amino acids, (the building blocks of protein) vitamins and minerals and importantly contain no grains or grain by-products.
Benchmark Balancer Mash can be fed alone (with the addition of fibre) or it can be fed in conjunction with Benchmark Super Fibre Mash, grains or a high fat energy source.
Applications listed by Benchmark include:
All horses who react to feeds high in starch and sugar.
Horses requiring more topline or muscle mass.
To supplement horses grazing limited or poor-quality pasture.
Horses prone to weight gain that require a low dose, low carb concentrate.
Growing youngstock that require a ration high in protein but low in starch and sugar.
Feeding the recommended daily rate of Benchmark Balancer Mash to your horse will improve any ration by topping up nutritional deficiencies that may occur in fibre, pasture, grains, or poor-quality complete feeds.
