Ingredients:

High-quality fat

The fat sources include rice bran, ground flax, and flaxseed oil.  Fat does not cause hindgut imbalances that high levels of starchy/sugary grains will, reducing the risk of grain overload.  Once digested, fat is utilized without producing the extreme hormone spikes known to negatively affect temperament and glucose metabolism. Horses require a certain amount of fat in the diet to properly digest fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K.

The caloric density of fat makes it an incredible source of energy. Because fats contain 2.25 times the energy of carbohydrates, supplementation with fat can reduce the amount of starchy/sugary grains needed in the diet.

Direct-fed microbials

Direct-fed microbials, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger, help to regulate acid balance in the GI tract, producing a hindgut environment that encourages beneficial bacteria to grow. When beneficial bacteria flourish the digestive tract operates at an optimal level, digestion improves, and horses utilize their feed more efficiently.

Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus faecium are two lactic acid-producing direct-fed microbes that researchers have been working with recently. Scientists have found that these lactic acid-producing bacteria also influence pH balance in the GI tract, which may play a role in boosting immunity levels.

Lecithin

Lecithin is a beneficial fatty acid that aids digestion and encourages maximal absorption of nutrients. Lecithin also contains choline, a factor necessary in the production of acetylcholine. As a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine is a critical component of the nervous system.
