Quality Blend 12/12 Low Starch Performer is a high-fat, high-fiber horse feed designed for active horses in competitive disciplines. It contains 12% protein and 12% fat, providing performance energy through fat and fiber instead of starch and sugar. This formula delivers stamina and endurance without hyperactivity, making it ideal for equine athletes requiring calm, focused behavior during competition.
Low-starch feeds provide “cool” energy from fat and fiber rather than sugar and starch, reducing hyperactivity and behavioral issues in performance horses. Quality Blend 12/12 lowers the risk of metabolic disorders like tying-up, laminitis, and insulin resistance while supporting stable blood sugar levels. The high fat content (12%) delivers sustained energy for endurance work without the negative effects of high-grain diets.
Yes, Quality Blend 12/12 Low Starch Performer is excellent for metabolically challenged horses including those with insulin resistance, Cushing’s disease, or laminitis history. The low levels of sugar, starch, and non-structural carbohydrates minimize glucose spikes and metabolic stress. The high fat content (12%) provides safe, concentrated calories allowing these horses to maintain athletic performance without compromising their health.
The 12/12 designation indicates the feed contains 12% protein and 12% fat in equal ratio. The moderate protein with added lysine and methionine maintains muscle mass without excess, while the high fat delivers concentrated performance calories. This balanced formulation provides energy for competitive work without relying on starch-based calories that can cause behavioral or metabolic issues.
