Do you know what ration balancers are and how they can support your horse’s diet? Learn the importance of supplementing your horse’s hay or pasture diet with a ration balancer in this educational article by Lifestyle Product Specialist Leaha Lindsley.
Ration Balancers for Horses
What is a ration balancer?
- Ration balancers are highly concentrated nutrition for easy keeping horses. They include protein, vitamins and minerals to balance out what is typically missing in hay or pasture.
Why choose a ration balancer for your horse?
- Forages alone do not provide the necessary amount of nutrients that horses need, which causes deficiencies. Ration balancers are designed to have a low feeding rate to provide the proper balance of nutrients without excessive calories.
