What is a Genuine Balancer?
Balancers or concentrates are a very useful nutritional tool that can make a valuable contribution to your horse’s diet. A balancer contains a concentrated amount of nutrition in a small daily dose. Genuine balancers contain high levels of essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein), vitamins and minerals and importantly contain no grains or grain by-products.
A balancer can be fed alone (with the addition of fibre) or it can be fed in conjunction with Benchmark Super Fibre Mash, grains or a high fat energy source.
Feeding the recommended daily rate of Benchmark Balancer Mash® to your horse will improve any ration by topping up nutritional deficiencies that may occur in fibre, pasture, grains, or poor-quality complete feeds.
How to prepare Benchmark Balancer Mash for your horse:
By volume
To 1-part Balancer Mash add 1-1.5 parts cold or warm water.
Soak for 5 mins before feeding.
Vary the amount of water to achieve your preferred mash consistency.
Benchmark Balancer Mash Pellets can be fed either as a mash or dry.
Benchmark Balancer Mash® should be introduced gradually over 7-14 days to allow your horse’s gut enzymes to adjust to the new feed.
Daily Minimum Fibre Requirement for Horses
To enable a horse to maintain a properly functioning hindgut with natural microbial fermentation for complete gut and body health, it is highly recommended that at least 1% of the horse’s body weight be fed as fibre. For a 500kg horse, this is equal to a minimum of 5kg a day in the form of pasture, hay and/or quality alternative high-fibre products.
