At The Hungry Puppy, we understand how crucial proper equine nutrition is for your horse’s health and performance. That's why we have partnered with Purina, a trusted brand in pet and farm animal nutrition since 1894, to bring you a comprehensive range of horse feed products. Today, we will delve into one of Purina’s groundbreaking innovations in horse nutrition: The Controlled Starch Formula technology.
* What is Purina’s Controlled Starch Formula Technology?
Purina’s Controlled Starch Formula technology is a unique formulation designed to provide horses with the right balance of starch and sugars. It's a critical component of overall equine nutrition as horses, like humans, need a balanced diet for optimal health and performance. Too much starch in a horse's diet can lead to several health issues, including obesity, laminitis, and equine metabolic syndrome.
This innovative formula technology is featured prominently in several Purina products. For example, PURINA 50# IMPACT MATURE ACTIVE 10-6 TXT, PURINA 50# OMOLENE 200 PERFORMANCE, and PURINA 50# ULTIUM COMPETITION FORMULA all utilize this controlled starch formula to ensure your horse gets the nutrition it needs without the risks associated with high-starch diets.
* Benefits of Controlled Starch Formulas
Purina's controlled starch formulas are designed with your horse's health in mind. They provide several key benefits:
1. **Improved Digestive Health:** Controlled starch formulas are easier for horses to digest, reducing the risk of digestive disorders like colic and gastric ulcers. 2. **Balanced Energy:** These formulas provide balanced, sustained energy, helping your horse maintain optimal performance without the energy spikes and crashes associated with high-starch diets. 3. **Reduced Risk of Metabolic Disorders:** By controlling starch levels, these formulas help reduce the risk of metabolic disorders like laminitis and insulin resistance.
* Making the Switch to Controlled Starch Formulas
If you're considering transitioning your horse to a controlled starch diet, we recommend doing so gradually. Start by replacing a small portion of your horse's current feed with the controlled-starch formula, gradually increasing the amount over time.
Our team of knowledgeable experts at The Hungry Puppy is always here to assist with any questions you may have about transitioning your horse to a controlled starch diet or any other questions about equine nutrition. We're proud to serve our community since 1987, providing the highest quality pet and farm animal supplies at the guaranteed lowest prices.
