Can horses cope with sudden cold weather?
Horses can survive and even thrive in what we consider to be very inhospitable conditions, but they do need plenty of feed to fuel them and keep them warm.
New Product: MetaSlim
06 July 2007
A high specification, balanced feed developed by our Director of Nutrition in consultation with a leading veterinary surgeon. The latest research into equine metabolism, pituitary function and hoof health has been combined with findings from new developments in the field of human blood sugar studies. The result is MetaSlim, a carefully sourced and balanced complementary feed to optimize blood sugar levels, insulin effectiveness and metabolic rate.
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.
It does not contain any drugs, prohibited substances, fillers, artificial flavourings nor any products or by products of cereal or pulses production. There are no molasses or any artificial preservatives.
