DEFIANCE SOUND STARCH
H4408CP

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Defiance Sound Starch is a highly-fortified pelleted horse feed that has a  low level of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC, 12.7%).  The low level of carbohydrates in the Sound Starch formula make this feed safe to offer horses sensitive to sugar and starch.  Horses that are good candidates would be those that are sensitive to sugars or starches because they have Cushings (hyper secretion of cortisol), RER (recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis), EPSM/PSSM (equine polysaccharide storage myopathy), are insulin resistant, or are chronic colic-ers or chronically laminitic.  The combination of high quality fat- and fiber-based ingredients (such as Soybean Hulls, Beet Pulp, Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles, Extruded Soybeans, Ground Flax Seed, Rice Bran, and Soybean Oil) make Sound Starch an energy dense horse feed perfect for high performance athletes, breeding mares and stallions, and thin horses needing to gain weight safely. 

HOW TO FEED
