DEFIANCE SOUND STARCH SENIOR
H4409TP

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Sound Starch Senior is a highly-fortified pelleted horse feed that has a low level of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC, 9.9%), making it a safe feed to offer senior horses sensitive to sugar and starch in their diet.  The combination of high quality fat- and fiber-based ingredients (such as Soybean Hulls, Wheat Midds, Beet Pulp, Soybean Meal, Dehydrated Alfalfa, Soybean Oil, Stabilized Rice Bran, and Ground Flaxseed) make Sound Starch Senior an energy dense horse feed perfect for maturing horses to gain or maintain weight safely.  The low NSC in Sound Starch Senior makes it an ideal feed for horses that are sensitive to sugars or starches due to metabolic disorders such as Cushing’s disease (hyper secretion of cortisol), RER (recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis), EPSM/PSSM (equine polysaccharide storage myopathy), insulin resistance, and chronic colic or laminitis.

HOW TO FEED

Maintenance and Light work: Feed 1 lb per 100 lbs of bodyweight per day.

Senior Horses, Medium or Heavy work, or horses with teeth or digestive problems:  Feed as the sole ration at the rate of 1 to 1 1/2 lbs per 100 lbs of bodyweight per day.

This product may need to be moistened or soaked with water for increased consumption, particularly for senior horses, horses that consume feed quickly, or horses that have had no prior experience consuming beet pulp-based pellets.  Adjust the amount of feed per day depending on the animal's condition and level of work. Feed in addition to an adequate supply of pasture or hay, fresh clean water, and free-choice white salt.  It is advised that if senior horses are able to consume hay, that hay continue to be offered in addition to this feed. 

CAUTION

Store product in a clean dry environment free of moisture, rodents, insects, and other pests. Do not feed moldy or repugnant feed. This product has been formulated specifically for horses and is not intended for other species.

DO NOT FEED TO SHEEP DUE TO HIGH COPPER LEVEL.
