WHO BENEFITS FROM BCS MIX SUPPLEMENTATION?
skinny horses
lactating mares
sport horses
The more you train your horse, the more energy he needs.
This also applies to pregnant and lactating mares and to horses recovering from illness.
These horses are often fed a larger quantity of grains, full of sugar and starch.
Too many sugars in the feed can cause horses to suffer from muscle stiffness, laminitis or colic.
IT IS BETTER TO REPLACE EXTRA GRAINS WITH VEGETABLE OILS.
