Complete Nutritional Support for Horses
Providing a balanced supply of essential nutrients is important for maintaining normal health and wellbeing in horses and ponies.
NAF Five Star Optimum Feed Balancer is designed to complement the nutritional value of forage and other feeds by supplying concentrated vitamins and minerals.
This makes it particularly useful for horses receiving high-fibre diets or relatively small amounts of concentrate feed.
Furthermore, its concentrated formulation allows nutritional supplementation without requiring large quantities of additional feed.
Supports Healthy Digestion and Hindgut Function
A healthy digestive system is essential for the efficient utilisation of nutrients from a horse’s diet.
Horses naturally rely on microbial fermentation within the hindgut to digest fibre from forage.
NAF Optimum Feed Balancer includes prebiotics and probiotics to support the normal microbial environment of the digestive system.
These ingredients are included to help maintain normal digestive function and support efficient forage utilisation.
However, a suitable supply of good-quality forage remains essential for maintaining normal equine digestive health.
Prebiotics and Probiotics
NAF Five Star Optimum contains biotic ingredients designed to complement the horse’s natural digestive processes.
Prebiotics
Prebiotics are ingredients that can support beneficial microorganisms within the digestive system.
They form part of the supplement’s nutritional approach to maintaining normal hindgut function.
Probiotics
Probiotics are beneficial live microorganisms included in selected animal nutritional formulations.
NAF Optimum combines prebiotic and probiotic support as part of its concentrated feed balancer.
Together, these ingredients are intended to help maintain a healthy digestive environment.
Low Starch, Low Sugar and Low Calorie
Some horses and ponies require a feeding programme that provides essential nutrients without excessive additional calories.
NAF Optimum Feed Balancer is formulated to be low in starch, sugar and calories.
This makes it a practical option for owners seeking concentrated nutritional support without feeding a large quantity of traditional concentrate feed.
Its non-heating formulation also makes it suitable for feeding programmes where additional energy is not required.
For horses with metabolic conditions or specialist dietary requirements, seek advice from a veterinary surgeon or qualified equine nutritionist before introducing a new feed.
Ideal for High-Fibre Diets
Forage should form the foundation of a horse’s daily feeding programme.
Grass, hay and haylage provide important fibre that supports normal digestive activity.
However, the nutritional content of forage varies depending on growing conditions, harvesting and storage.
NAF Five Star Optimum Feed Balancer is designed to complement high-fibre feeding programmes by providing additional vitamins, minerals and digestive support.
This allows owners to support a balanced nutritional intake while maintaining forage as the main component of the diet.
Suitable for Different Feeding Programmes
NAF Optimum Feed Balancer is designed to complement a variety of equine diets.
It may be useful for horses and ponies receiving:
- High-fibre feeding programmes
- Forage-based diets
- Low-concentrate diets
- Feeding programmes requiring additional vitamins and minerals
- Low-starch and low-sugar rations
- Carefully managed calorie intake
- Performance diets requiring balanced nutritional support
Always consider the complete ration when selecting a feed balancer to avoid unnecessary duplication of vitamins and minerals.
Convenient Concentrated Pellets
NAF Five Star Optimum is supplied as concentrated, palatable pellets.
The pellets can be added directly to the normal feed bowl, making them easy to incorporate into an existing feeding routine.
They can also be offered directly from the hand when appropriate, providing a convenient alternative feeding method.
Because the product is concentrated, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended daily feeding quantities.
