• Delivers sensible calories (energy) needed for performance.
• Helps minimize excitability. Ideal for horses that "tie-up".
• Proven to effectively regulate glycemic and insulin response.
• Helps minimize gut upset (colic) by preventing starch overload in the hindgut.

• Highly digestible and energy/calorie dense. Less feed required to maintain body condition.
• Helps regulate glycemic and insulin response.
• Delays gastric emptying which aids in ulcer prevention.
• Clean burning fuel, does not produce lactic acid and spares glycogen levels for enhanced athletic performance.

• A highly fermentable fibre source providing needed calories for performance.
• Helps maintain a healthier hindgut pH and microbial population.

• Improves hair coat and skin condition.
• Supports immune functions, anti-inflammatory properties and ulcer healing.
• Promotes membrane integrity and cell (including red blood cells) viability.
• Omega-3 fatty acids shown to help enhance insulin efficiency thus reducing insulin resistance.
• Helps support cognitive ability.

• Essential blood-building nutrients.
• Supports immune function and overall health.

• Vitamin K supports blood clotting.
• Helps protect against exercise induced stress.

• To maintain proper muscle tone and joint and hoof health.

• Increases absorption and enhances trace mineral bioavailability to improve immune response.
• Supports immune function and overall health.

• Improves hindgut fermentation which increases energy, protein and phosphorus utilization.

• Helps promote good gut bacteria and protect against harmful bacteria for improved gut health.

• Two important antioxidants which help support immune functions and overall health.
• Selenium also plays a role in the control of thyroid hormones metabolism.
• Helps protect against exercise induced stress.

Feeding rates

Equilibrium XCEL HD is recommended for equine athletes, racehorses, and hard keepers. Feed in conjunction with water and a minimum of 1% body weight (on a dry matter basis) of a long stemmed forage (hay/pasture). Feed according to the following table, whereby the lower quantity meets minimum vitamin and mineral requirements and the higher quantity meets Purina Superior Recommendations. Ideally, feed enough to achieve desired body condition, and for every kilogram under the recommendation, provide 225 grams of Purina Equilizer (35710). Provide free-choice salt. Daily ration should be divided into 2 and preferably 3 separate feedings daily.

1. Amounts can vary depending on the hay. Purina recommends that you have your hay analyzed and balance your ration accordingly. Also, depending on the hay, Optimal (35720) may be better suited as a supplement than Equilizer (35710).

2. If your horse rapidly consumes this feed and/ or if hydration status of your horse is questionable, we recommend adding water to this feed or using other measures to ensure an appropriate rate of intake.

3. Do not provide more than 0.5% of Body Weight of this feed at one time.

4. Provide a source of fresh, clean water at all times.

5. Follow sound management practices along with disease and sanitation control measures. If there are any questions, contact your veterinarian, Purina dealer or Purina sales consultant.

CAUTION
Directions for use must be carefully followed.
Feed is perishable. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, abortion or death.
