Southern Supreme Senior is for the older horse. It's softer and easier to chew and swallow than a regular grain mix. You can feed it with forage, or use it as the whole ration for a horse that can't manage hay or pasture. Wet it down if you want to make it easier still.
- Beet pulp stimulates healthy fermentation, and digestible fiber with lower sugar and starch keeps behavior calm.
- Tasco kelp meal for attitude, immune function and hoof quality. Mid South says kelp also eases travel stress and nervousness and helps muscling.
- Fixed formula, which Mid South says reduces the chance of digestive upset.
- More fat means more calories per pound, so you need less grain. Mid South adds that this lowers the incidence of colic and founder from grain overload.
- Antioxidants (vitamins E and C and selenium) support the immune system and help guard against muscle damage.
- Guaranteed L-lysine for protein utilization, plus guaranteed biotin, methionine and vitamin E.
- Proteinate trace minerals support hoof health, immune function, reproductive performance, skeletal development, wound healing and enzyme activation.
- Probiotics, viable yeast and enzymes for improved digestion.
- Textured, 50 lb bag.
