Cavalor Strucomix Senior Textured Horse Feed, 44 Lbs. is a high fiber feed that the efficiency of the digestive system as well as the quality of a horse’s teeth decrease as horses age. As a result, senior horses need special nutritional attention. Cavalor® Strucomix Senior is specially formulated with puffed and extruded grains for easy and efficient digestion, high-quality proteins (easily digestible and faster conversion into energy) as well as a high level of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Cavalor® Strucomix Senior is the feed that contains everything your horses need for a healthy and active life. Senior has a higher calorie content than Original and can be beneficial for horses with increased calorie needs.
Features:
- Indication of Use: Quantity per 220 lbs. of live body weight in addition to at least 16.5 lbs. of forage [hay]. At rest/maintenance: max 1.1 lbs; light exertion: max 1.3 lbs.
- High Digestibility Through Puffed Grains: By puffing grains we are able to improve the starch digestibility in the foregut from an average of 5-50% to 85-90%. These grains travel through the stomach and small intestine at a slower rate, allowing the digestive enzymes more time to act on the feed. More nutrients in the feed are released for the horse to absorb while avoiding any rapid releases of sugar and starch, which is critical for horses with metabolic issues.
- Complete Vitamins and Minerals Profile: Not only do we use a balanced blend of high quality vitamins and minerals, but we are always careful to use the most stable versions. While the vitamins we use are always in the most stable form, the minerals we use are always in the most absorbable form.
- Not Only for Senior Horses: Strucomix Senior is a great feed for underweight horses, as well as for pregnant mares as it contains 14% protein from high quality protein sources.
- Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients: Research has revealed strong evidence that the active components in the yucca root have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Antioxidants protect the horse’s cells against free radicals — molecules produced at the cellular level when the horse’s body breaks down feed.
