Equine Science Formula Phase Feeding Program
PHASE I is specifically designed to address the nutrient needs of the young growing horse up to 12 months of age. This formulation is designed to minimize nutrition-related occurrence of developmental orthopedic disease (DOD) and to provide nutrients necessary for optimum growth while minimizing skeletal disorders. Particular care has been taken to include minerals and amino acids in the amounts and forms most beneficial to the young horse.
PHASE II features the same attention to ingredient quality as Phase I but with levels of fortification appropriate for the yearling and the pregnant and lactating mare. Levels of trace minerals in Phase II ensure that development of the fetus and storage of nutrients in the fetal liver are optimized, resulting in superior skeletal development in the neonatal foal. Additionally, the strong skeletal foundation initiated in the weanling fed Phase I is furthered in the yearling by feeding Phase II.
PHASE III is a scientifically formulated performance horse feed that specifically addresses energy substrate availability and muscle metabolism in the equine athlete. Energy sources utilized in this feed are selected to satisfy the specific metabolic requirements of the horse during both the anaerobic and aerobic phases of exercise. The mineral, protein, and vitamin levels in Phase III ensure peak performance and meet the micronutrient requirements of horses in intense training.
PHASE IV is for mature horses, barren mares, and lightly ridden pleasure horses. Phase IV is higher in fiber than many conventional feeds, yet still retains an adequate concentration of nutrients to satisfy the requirements of older horses and of horses that are idle or lightly used. The pelleted form makes Phase IV especially appropriate for older horses with poor teeth and horses prone to waste feed.
PHASE V is formulated with significant fibre and fat to specifically meet the needs of horses with high-energy requirements that must perform in a controlled and manageable fashion. The energy in Phase V is provided by highly digestible fibre sources and concentrated vegetable fats. Coupled with less starch, Phase V supplies "cool" energy-energy you can ride on. The protein, vitamin, and mineral levels ensure the equine athlete trains and performs to its peak potential.
ALL-PHASE Grain Balancer Pellets are designed for foals, weanlings, yearlings, pregnant mares, lactating mares, breeding stallions, and performance horses. These pellets can be fed alone (with no additional grain) to horses maintaining adequate body condition on high-quality forage (hay/pasture). In this situation, All-Phase acts as a low-calorie, concentrated source of essential protein, vitamins, and minerals that are often marginal in all-forage diets. All-Phase can also be mixed with unfortified grain to form balanced grain concentrates for any class of horse requiring additional calories to grow or perform. In both cases, All-Phase Grain Balancer Pellets should always be fed with high-quality forage, salt, and water.
