Saracen Horse Feeds Palatability Plus (P+) is a unique seasoning formulated to maintain high levels of taste in order to support appetite and help maintain nutritionalintake.
In addition, the VETERAN BALANCER benefits from a unique low glycaemic coating which helps to maintain optimum metabolic health. The unique plant based coating has a lower glycaemic index compared to traditional molasses.

| These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. Always try to feed a minimum of 2% of bodyweight as good quality forage per day. |
These recommendations are intended as a guide only. Intakes may vary according to the quality and type of forage used, the amount of grazing time available and, in addition, the horse's metabolic rate and type of work being carriedout.
E.g 500kg horse, feed 1kg per day. A 20kg bag will feed a 500kg horse for 20days.
