Maize-Free Horse Feed

Equi-Feeds Warmblood Meal contains no maize, making it a useful option for owners who prefer to avoid maize in their horse's concentrate ration.

This can be particularly relevant for horses that owners find become overly energetic or difficult to manage when fed maize-containing feeds.

Low-GI, Controlled-Energy Feeding

The formula is designed to provide low to medium energy while maintaining an NSC level below 265g/kg.

This makes it particularly suited to horses and ponies in light to moderate work that do not require a high-energy performance ration.

No Free Molasses

The formulation contains no “free” molasses, making it useful for horses whose diets require careful management of molasses, sugar and starch intake.

For horses with diagnosed metabolic conditions such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), insulin dysregulation or PPID (Cushing's disease), the entire diet should be planned with your veterinarian or qualified equine nutrition professional. A single feed's NSC value does not determine whether the complete ration is appropriate for an individual metabolic horse.
