LMF Senior Horse Feed
LMF Senior is a unique pelleted complete feed for older horses. The formula includes glucosamine for joint health along with fiber, energy, vitamins, minerals and live yeast culture to aid in digestion. Critical nutrients are presented in a highly palatable form that horses readily consume.
FEATURES:
•Contains glucosamine that may aid in joint comfort and mobility
•Uses highly digestible fiber sources, including beet pulp
•Designed for horses with chewing difficulties
•Complete Feed (Forage/Grain/Supplement)
•Highly Palatable
•Pelleted for Better Digestion
SPECIAL INGREDIENTS:
Chelated Organic Trace Minerals - These proteinated minerals allow for maximum absorption and retention by the horse. They are designed to match as closely as possible the naturally complexed trace element compounds found in forages and grains.
100% Organic Selenium - Organic Selenium is more bio-available than inorganic Selenium and is better retained in the body. This allows the horse to build nutrient reserves against periods of increased demand with less risk of toxicity.
Added Amino Acids - Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Think of the proteins as words and the amino acids as the letters that form the words. If an animal is trying to form a protein to build or repair tissue and an amino acid is missing, the protein cannot be formed. LMF feeds use high quality protein sources in all of our feeds. Additionally, LMF feeds are supplemented with two of the most critical amino acids, Lysine and Methionine.
Natural Vitamin E - Natural Vitamin E, which comes from plant oils, is an important fat soluble vitamin that is not produced by the horse’s body. This vitamin must be obtained through external sources like forage, grain and supplements. Vitamin E: acts as an antioxidant, helps keep the immune system strong, and helps the body use Vitamin K.
Omega 3 and Omega 6 Fatty Acids - Omega fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that are components of oils commonly added to horse diets. Omega 6 fatty acids are used in the body to help mediate inflammation. Omega 3 fatty acid is used to produce intermediaries that suppress inflammation. Both Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are important in a horse’s diet for hoof health, reproductive success, allergy and immune conditions, respiratory conditions, and exercise recovery.
Yeast Culture - Yeast Cultures work to enhance fiber digestion and nutrient absorption allowing for increased for enhanced animal performance. By improving feed efficiency yeast cultures also help to maintain body and coat conditions in horses.
Glucosamine - Glucosamine is a natural substance that is found in the cartilage tissue associated with unique joints. It is made from a series of sugar and protein molecules. Once incorporated into joint cartilage it works with other substances to absorb shock and lubricate the joint. Glucosamine has been shown to function in the joint as an anti-inflammatory substance. Glucosamine is added to help horses feel more comfortable and move easier.
FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS:
LMF Senior is designed as a total balanced diet for all categories of horses except young growing horses under 12 months of age. LMF Senior has specific application to the mature horse with chewing problems and to performance horses from light to extensive work levels. Feed LMF Senior along with free choice plain salt or iodized salt and 2-3 pounds per day of long stemmed hay according to the following table.
POUNDS TO FEED DAILY PER 100 LB. BODY WEIGHT
Senior Horse:
Chewing Difficulties*: (1.5 - 1.8lb)
Maintenance:
Adult Horses**: (1.3 - 1.5lb)
Performance:
Light Work**: (1.5 - 1.7lb)
Performance:
Moderate Work**: (1.6 - 1.8 lb)
Performance:
Intense Work**: (1.8 - 2.0 lb)
*For horses with chewing difficulties, worn or missing teeth the LMF Senior should be soaked in water for 20 minutes prior to feeding. Add enough water to completely submerge the LMF Senior. The amount of water to submerge the feed will vary depending on the amount of feed provided to the horse.
**For mature horses that are naive to the LMF Senior, who may be offered the feed for the first time, or for horses that aggressively consume their feed, it is recommended the LMF Senior be soaked in water for 20 minutes prior to feeding. Add enough water to completely submerge the LMF Senior. The amount of water to submerge the feed will vary depending on the amount of feed provided to the horse.
Feed 20%-25% less pounds of LMF Senior per day than you would if feeding separate hay and grain.
