WHAT DOES TOTAL EQUINE CONTAIN?
There are certain questions about Total Equine that
I get asked repeatedly. I would like to answer a few
of them here to let everyone know just how com-
plete a nutritional package it is.
Many of these things are items that are not part of
the required guarantees, but do appear in the ingre-
dient list.
Probiotics
– Yes, we include some probiotics in
Total Equine. But they are not a critical part of the
success of the program as this formula is designed
to support the natural bacterial in the cecum and
colon that are always present.
Prebiotics
– The term prebiotic is used to describe
nutrients or ingredients that support the growth of
microbes already present in the gut. Total Equine
as formulated, would be considered a prebiotic and
contains one ingredient that is known for it’s prebi-
otic effects.
Biotin
– Yes, Total Equine contains more than
adequate Biotin when fed at the recommended
feeding rate. A side note is that Biotin is only one
component in hoof growth and health. Total Equine
contains the other critical components also.
Lysine
– Yes, even though the level of lysine is not
part of the required guarantees, Total Equine con-
tains 0.8% and this is adequate for all situations.
Non-structural carbohydrate (NSC)
– Regular
Total Equine contains 26% NSC and Total Equine
LNSC contains 16%.
Vitamins
– Total Equine is formulated with 14
vitamins including all of the required fat soluble and
water soluble vitamins.
Minerals
– Total Equine contains all 7 of the re-
quired major minerals and all 7 of the required trace
minerals for a total of 14. Five of the minerals are
in the truly chelated form that provides maximum
bioavailability.
Amino Acids
- Total Equine contains all 10 of the
essential amino acids plus 3 more that are non-es-
sential but important to the digestion and well-being
of the horse.
GMO free
– No, Total Equine is not GMO free.
