Ingredients and Analysis

• Vitalbix Breed & Grow is formulated according to the latest scientific insights in the field of nutrition for pregnant & lactating mares, foals, young horses and stallions. Thanks to the fibre-rich structure, the low starch and sugar content and the easily absorbable vitamins & minerals, Vitalbix Breed & Grow helps prevent developmental problems in young horses.
• Vitalbix Breed & Grow contains only wholesome, natural ingredients and does NOT contain soy, whole grains, molasses (sugar), artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Not only the exact levels of vitamins, minerals and trace elements are important for a healthy diet, the mutual ratios between these nutrients are just as important. When there are skewed ratios, nutrients will compete with each other, which can lead to deficiencies and therefore health problems. All Vitalbix products contain a sophisticated ratio of nutrients so that the nutrients are optimally absorbed.
