Every year there are exciting new products coming onto the equine nutrition market, especially those that are targeted at helping your horse’s digestive health.  

One of the biggest brands in the industry, Hygain, has just come out with a new product called META SAFE®. 

It’s specially formulated to support the nutritional needs of horses on restricted diets, as well as horses that suffer from metabolic disorders. 

With less than 1.5% starch and a low feeding rate, META SAFE® is a safer choice for “good doer” horses that require a low starch diet. 

The concentrated low dose of META SAFE® (approximately 500g) for the average adult horse) is designed to meet a horse’s full nutritional needs when fed in conjunction with sufficient roughage. 

META SAFE® benefits: 

·        Low feeding rate concentrate 

·        Low starch <1.5%  

·        Contains a concentrated vitamin & chelated mineral blend 

·        High in soluble fibre to sustain a healthy microbiome 

·        Natural Vitamin E - Antioxidant for soft tissue maintenance 

·        Contains BONAFIDE® for bone density support 

·        Prebiotics support the digestive tract 

·        Biotin building block of hoof and coat 

META SAFE®, BALANCED® or ZERO®? 

HYGAIN® now offers a selection of low starch options. Knowing the difference between these feeds can help match your horse with the low starch option that best suits their needs: 

·        META SAFE® is super low starch (<1.5%) and a low dose concentrate. META SAFE® contains BONAFIDE®. The low feeding rate of META SAFE® is well suited to horses and ponies who are good doers. 

·        BALANCED® is also low in starch (6%) and a low dose concentrate, but it contains a higher protein content that is more suited to a “good doer” performance horse. BALANCED® does not contain BONAFIDE®. 

·        ZERO® is considered a 'full feed' whereas META SAFE® is a concentrate feed. This means that ZERO® has a higher feeding rate compared to META SAFE®. Perfect for horses that require a feed to help them maintain their best condition.
