Growth Pellet is a low NSC (15%), higher fat (8%), high fiber (18%) feed specially formulated for young, growing horses beginning at 3 months of age, as well as pregnant and lactating mares that require more calories in their diet. Because of the low sugar and starch (NSC) level, this feed is appropriate for mares with metabolic disorders and mares with histories of producing foals with Developmental Orthopedic Disorders. Growth Pellet is packed with premium, essential nutrients to support proper bone, cartilage and tissue development, including Constant Comfort®, a premium seaweed derived calcium, which supports healthy gastric pH, too.
Uptake Technology™, a premium blend of pre- and probiotics, digestive enzymes and phospholipids that supports improved nutrient absorption and overall digestive health, has also been added to this feed. Growth Pellet is ideal for horses consuming hay or pasture that is 50% or less alfalfa (or other legumes). If feeding hay or pasture that is 50% or more alfalfa, check out Alfa Growth®.
