Elk Grove Milling W G&C Senior Stable Mix Horse Feed, 50 lb.

For those special friends who have entered their golden years or hard keepers, Elk Grove Milling W G&C Senior Stable Mix Horse Feed is formulated to meet the particular challenges they face. Research has shown that senior and geriatric horses are less able to absorb protein, and for that reason this senior horse stable mix provides a minimum of 12.5% crude protein. Because older horses also have a reduced capacity for absorbing minerals, this mix utilizes Zinpro's premier organic performance minerals. One of the most common challenges with managing senior and geriatric horses is maintaining body weight and condition. Utilizing forages can be a challenge due to poor dentition, as well as a reduced capacity to digest forage. Pellet horse feed reduces the need for chewing, a real bonus for seniors with poor teeth. Senior Stable Mix can completely replace the hay in a horse's diet. Additionally, the Senior Stable Mix horse feed includes not only almond hulls, but also a second super fiber; beet pulp. Together these fibers help provide your senior horse with an easily digestible and safe form of energy. The level of rice bran is increased in the Senior Stable Mix horse feed, which results in an overall higher fat content than the original Stable Mix.
