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%.

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.
