Simple System MetaSlim Horse Nutrition 20kg

Product Information

If after all this good grub, your horse regains weight a bit too much, use LucieFibre Cubes instead of his LucieNuts. NO food with any starchy or sugary ingredients – look out for wheatfeed, oatfeed, molasses, soya, for instance, on the composition list; We should endeavour to provide sufficient forage to last the horse anything up to 18 hours and avoid gaps without eating of more than 2 hours; Every ingredient is natural and in combination will optimise blood sugar levels, metabolic rate and aid digestion. The ideal ratio of Calcium to Magnesium has been achieved. Herbs and spices included are all human food grade. The widest spectrum of trace elements is in a bio-available form for maximum benefit and includes zinc, chromium, copper and selenium. Contains naturally-occurring carotene (Vitamin A), Vitamin E, B complex Vitamins and very high levels of natural anti-oxidants.

Lucerne, and in particular that grown in the UK and Europe as opposed to America, tends to have lower sugar levels than grass, typically below 7% sugar. This makes this a suitable feed for horses with metabolic problems but is an ideal feed, as part of a mixed forage diet, to help ensure that problems do not arise later in the horse’s life. Protein is the most important nutrient for horses alongside fibre. Protein supports all the internal organs, blood, muscle and hooves as well as skin and hair. The minimum requirement for protein is 10% of the diet. Higher levels are better, especially forage protein. This is very different from protein in cereals and pulses. Forage protein has a low digestibility, which means only around half is actually digested in the foregut. The rest goes into the hind gut where is supports the gut microbes. Hay is best with a protein content of 13 – 15%. This essential nutrient should not be rationed! But ensure it is from forage and not grains or pulses. Instead of using starchy grain feeds, pulses, processed feeds and by products from the human food industry, we can use forages, which is what the horse evolved to eat. These will take longer to eat and be more satisfying;

Meta Slim Reviews – “Discouraging?”

My horse has an injury and needs box rest but he is underweight and needs feeding up. How can I get his weight up when he is on box rest, as I was told you cannot give nutritious feed if the horse is not working? Fiber: Meta Slim Complete contains 2g of dietary fiber or around 7% of your DV. Fiber helps push waste out of your body, making it easy to maintain digestive regularity. Many experts recommend taking a fiber supplement for various benefits. Ensure you remove as much of the root as possible, as the plant can regenerate from small fragments of root left in the ground.

The horse’s natural diet is grazing and that has a high water content so it makes sense to offer hydrated feeds. However, some horses have been given dry feeds for most of their lives and do not expect to have soaked feeds. They will get used to them if you persist! Feeding dry pellets of any type carries a risk of choke so we advise that the best way to feed pelleted feeds is soaked. If, for whatever reason, you feel unable to soak pelleted feeds, we suggest that you thoroughly mix them with twice their volume of soaked PuraBeet, or twice their volume of a suitable chop/chaff and dampen well with water.

MetaBoost Features & Benefits

Horses can become poor doers due to disease, worm infestation, poisoning such as ragwort, dodgy teeth, harassment from other horses, such as denying access to shared sources of hay, cold wet weather, or work out of synch with feeding. Some are anxious and fretful. Brood mares often need far more feeding than anticipated. Many horses are not able to benefit from starchy feeds and will actually lose weight when fed more of these feeds. Others may scour and drop weight on sugary or starchy feeds. It is important to establish why your horse is not keeping or gaining condition and this may involve seeking advice from your vet and/or qualified Equine Dental Technician. Fridges and freezers are also insulated and make good containers for soaking feeds (not switched on, of course..)
