Equigard is a grain-free, high-fibre muesli, 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
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 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 is also the perfect feed for horses on stall rest if they face the problem of gaining weight too fast.<\/p>\n Regulating the fat and sugar metabolism<\/strong><\/p>\n Apart from its balanced mineral content, Equigard 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 contains a considerably increased content in highly-digestible, structured carbohydrates and valuable fatty acids.<\/p>\n APPLICATION:As a complement to the basic diet with roughage and\/or pasture grass.
