Kalm 'N EZ Pellet is 8% fat, 20% fiber and 13.5% NSC, with no added iron. It's free of corn, oats and molasses.
- Tribute says it suits moderate to harder-keeping horses with sugar and starch sensitivities, including insulin resistance, PSSM Type 1 and other metabolic disorders. Your vet can tell you whether it fits your horse.
- The low NSC also makes it a good choice, Tribute says, for hyperactive horses and horses with digestive tract sensitivities.
- Higher fat supports active and harder-keeping horses.
- High fiber is a good option when hay quality is poor or hay replacement is needed, and it's appropriate for total hay replacement.
- Pelleted, 50 lb bag.
- Uptake Technology is Tribute's blend of pre- and probiotics, digestive enzymes and phospholipids. Tribute says it improves nutrient absorption and supports digestive health.
- The calcium in this feed comes from seaweed (Tribute calls it Constant Comfort). Tribute says it promotes a healthy gastric pH to support horses at risk of ulcers and digestive upset.

How to feed it
We recommend 2 or more meals per day. Do not exceed 5 lb per meal (4 lb for ponies, 6 lb for draft horses).
Provide at least 1.5% of your horse’s body weight in quality forage (hay/pasture) daily. (ex. 1,000 lb horse needs 15 lb of forage per day, minimum).
Be sure clean water is available at all times.
