THE HIGH FIBRE, COOL CONDITIONER
A versatile, low starch feed providing slow-release energy for calm conditioning and healthy gut function.
Formulation Highlights:
- DIGESTIVE SUPPORT: Ice® contains a high fibre, low starch formulation to promote natural digestive function and hindgut health.
- SUITABLE FOR ULCER-PRONE HORSES: A high non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) diet is a known risk factor for equine gastric ulcer syndrome. The low NSC content makes Ice® suitable for horses prone to gastric ulcers, especially when fed in two daily meals.
- COOL CONDITIONING FOR HOT HORSES: Highly digestible fibres ferment in the hindgut to release energy that supports cool weight maintenance.
- BASE FEED OPTION: Ice® can also be used as a base feed to help lower the starch load in high-energy diets, making it a beneficial option for performance horses and racehorses prone to tying-up.
