More and more horse owners have to cope with the vet\u2019s diagnosis that their horse is suffering from the Equine Metabolic Syndrome or from the Cushing\u2019s Syndrome. Horses with this kind of metabolic disorder are unfortunately even more susceptible to the feared and very painful laminitis which has frequently already manifested itself before the metabolic disorder has been diagnosed. The future feeding schedule has to be adapted to this disease which means that starch from grains and grain-based concentrates as well as sugar from pasture feed have to be reduced to a minimum in order to prevent any additional disturbances in the carbohydrate metabolism. We assist you in finding the appropriate diet for your horse.<\/p>\n

Equigard Classic<\/strong><\/p>\n The grain-free high-fibre pellet, molasses-free<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Equigard Classic is a grain-free, high-fibre pellet, specifically designed for balancing the energy intake of horses that require a particularly low starch and sugar diet. This includes horses susceptible to the Equine Metabolic Syndrome, laminitis, equine myopathies such as Tying-up, PSSM and rhabdomyolysis as well as the Cushing\u2019s Syndrome and gastric ulcers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n – free from grain and molasses<\/p>\n – low in starch and sugar<\/p>\n – rich in low glycemic fibres<\/p>\n – contains a special range of minerals designed to stabilize the carbohydrate and fat metabolism<\/p>\n – low energy content and really good acceptance<\/p>\n – contains herbs, ground algae, oils and oleaginous fruit<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The power of research<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the latest research, horses susceptible to equine myopathy (Tying-up, PSSM), laminitis, the Metabolic or the Cushing\u2019s Syndrome should only be fed a highly limited amount of non-structural carbohydrates such as grain starch and sugar. Equigard Classic has been specifically designed to address this problem and contains approx. 80% less starch and sugar than oats. It has been especially formulated to have a very low energy content and is the perfect feed as weight-reducing diet for overweight horses, combined with a reduced access to grazing. The increased energy requirement of performance horses should preferably be met using native oil, oil seeds and quickly fermenting fibres for which we recommend a combined feed ration comprising Struktur-Energetikum, Alfalfa Mix and HippoLinol. Equigard Classic is also the perfect feed for horses on stall rest if they face the problem of gaining weight too fast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Regulating the fat and sugar metabolism<\/strong><\/p>\n Apart from its balanced mineral content, Equigard Classic also features a balanced range of functional micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, \u03a9-3 fatty acids, lecithin and antioxidants such as vitamin E and fruit flavonoids that are particularly effective in stabilizing the insulin sensitivity, the carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Equigard Classic contains a considerably increased content in highly-digestible, structured carbohydrates and valuable fatty acids.<\/p>\n COMPOSITION:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grain-free, high-fibre, low starch and sugar pellets, especially for horses susceptible to the Equine Metabolic Syndrome, laminitis, equine myopathies as well as the Cushing\u2019s Syndrome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29343,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5241"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.distaziofamily.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}raw protein 11.7% raw fat 8% crude fiber 16.5% Raw ash 9.6% digested crude protein 80 g\/kg spent energy 10MJ\/kg actionable energy 8.8 MJ\/kg Strength 5% sugar 5% calcium 1.3% phosphorus 0.5% magnesium 0.2% sodium 0.5% lysine 0.6% methionine 0.2% Additives per kg: Physiological nutritional additives Vitamin A 3a672a 16 000 IU Vitamin D3 3a671 1 800 IU Vitamin E 3a700 525 mg Vitamin B1 3a820 and 3a821 9 mg Vitamin B2 3a825i 11 mg Vitamin B6 3a831 4.7 mg Vitamin B12 \/ Cyanocobalamin 40 mcg Biotin 3a880 232 mcg Calcium D-pantothenate 3a841 19 mg choline chloride 3a890 220 mg niacin 3a314 and niacinamide 3a315 40 mg Folic acid 3a316 4.7 mg Iron as ferrous sulphate monohydrate 3b103 e iron(II) glycine chelate hydrate 3b108 92 mg Zinc as zinc sulfate monohydrate 3b605, zinc chelate glycine hydrate (solid) 3b607 and zinc oxide 3b603 294 mg Manganese as manganese(II) sulfate monohydrate 3b503, glycine manganese chelate hydrate 3b506 and manganese(II) oxide 3b502 282 mg Copper as copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate 3b405, copper(II) chelate glycine hydrate (solid) 3b413 and copper(II) oxide 3b404 80 mg Cobalt as Cobalt(II) Carbonate 3b302 1.5 mg Selenium as Sodium Selenite 3b801 0.7 mg Iodine as calcium iodate, anhydrous 3b202 0.9 mg Technological additives Diatomaceous earth (diatomaceous earth, purified) E551c 7900 mg<\/span><\/h4>\n
