TopSpec AntiLam Forage Balancer is a palatable, pelleted forage balancer specifically designed to provide 5-way nutritional support for those prone to laminitis. It can also be fed to horses and ponies undergoing veterinary care.
This formulation contains a range of highly-effective supplements, pelleted onto a cereal-grain-free, low sugar, low starch, high fibre, and very low-calorie, non-heating balancer base. It is recommended by nutritionists, vets, and farriers during and following veterinary treatment. The balancer is so palatable that it can be fed out of the hand to horses and ponies at pasture to provide vital nutritional support. Long-term trials have shown that it will not promote condition when fed as part of a calorie-controlled diet. TopSpec products should be stored in a cool dry place.
