FEEDING & HEALTH Winter Feeding on a Budget As the winter months are just around the corner, so are the increases in costs that we associate with the change in our horse’s routine that we experience during this time. Throughout the summer, our horses are turned out for longer periods and have readily available grazing, that more often than not, does not require supplementation in the form of haylage or hard feed. By including a high quality feed balancer in your horse’s diet from the Blue Chip range, you can ensure that as well as achieving excellent value for money, you are providing a nutritionally balanced diet suitable for every type of horse or pony. Throughout the winter, horses typically use around 80% of their feed energy to maintain vital metabolic processes and a constant body temperature, so by utilising a Blue Chip Balancer, which contain an EU approved probiotic in their 100% natural, whole cereal and molasses free forulas, fibre digestibility doubles, allowing more ‘warming energy’ to be obtained from the forage that you include in your horse’s diet. The probiotic also balances gut bacteria and aids efficient nutrient absorption, which increases the proportion of the carefully balanced levels of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in Blue Chip feeds which are utilised by your horse. o further benefit digestion and gut health as the diet changes, each Blue Chip balancer is formulated with Nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, which increase the length of intestinal villi, increasing the surface area available for absorption and also, they are integral in aiding the immune response by increasing white blood cell levels a factor which is important to help ward off harmful pathogens which could be carried in the air as a result of the confines of stabling. day. Each balancer in the range includes all the high quality ingredients packed into each pellet of our other balancers, such as the comprehensive menthol and eucalyptus based respiratory supplement, PrimoVentoTM and SoundHoofTM, which contains zinc, methionine and biotin to promote healthy horn growth in wet winter conditions, but also, each Super Concentrated Balancer is tailored to a specific purpose. he range includes a Senior Balancer, which contains Chaste Tree Berry extract as part of the CushinComboTM supplement to help maintain pituitary gland function in the older horse, where Cushing’s Disease can become prevalent as a result of the dysfunction of this gland, alongside Glucosamine and MSM for joint maintenance. Providing the correct diet for a veteran is essential throughout Winter The newest addition to the Super Concentrated range is the ULSA-COOL balancer, that incorporates AcidBalTM, an acid buffering agent comprised of Lithothamnion which is derived from marine minerals and can help to alter gut pH balance by slowly releasing calcium, magnesium and silicon, over a prolonged period to enhance the buffering effect it has on stomach acids. ULSA- OO also benefits fro the addition of Beta-Glucans, which coat the stomach lining with a protective fil and slow the passage of feed, keeping the stomach fuller for longer therefore creating a less acidic environment. Also available are the Calming balancer, which has all the benefits of a balancer and caling supplement in one handy tub and Daily Health balancer, which will provide your horse with the daily vitamins, minerals and nutrients that he needs to thrive. To choose which balancer in the Blue Chip range will keep your horse in top condition this winter and maintain health from the inside out for an affordable price, visit www.bluechipfeed.com or call 0114 266 6200 for feeding and nutritional advice EQUINE LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY With regards to reducing winter costs, the new range of Blue Chip Super Concentrated Balancers are the perfect choice as their highly nutrient dense formula only requires feeding at a rate of 100g per day for the average horse, meaning each 3kg tub, priced at £24.95 lasts one month at a cost of £0.83 per Grazing can be restricted in the winter 22 October 2016 Equestrian Life
