Native ponies and some breeds of horses, are exceptionally efficient at converting their feed and can do very well on a simple diet. Overweight ponies and horses tend to have big crests and may have abnormal fat deposits elsewhere, particularly at the base of the tail. There appears to be a link between insulin resistance and these fat deposits. Lami-light contains magnesium, which is believed to have a direct effect on the vascular changes induced by high insulin. In trials, magnesium supplementation has been shown to help insulin activity, resulting in reduced fat deposits. Lami-light is low in calories, starch and sugar and has been specially formulated to promote health and well-being whilst on a restricted diet.
Hoof quality
Horses and ponies that have had laminitis are more susceptible to developing poor quality hooves. Feeding Lami-light will provide your horse or pony with the correct nutrients necessary for the production of high quality, strong, pliable hooves.
Now whole cereal and molasses free and includes natural Vitamin E and nucleotides.
Each pellet contains
Quadruple-action digestive supplement
Combining a probiotic with prebiotic MOS, nucleotides and sepiolite clay creates the optimum conditions for a healthy digestive system. In many cases of laminitis ill effects associated with the condition are a result of acidification in the hindgut, causing the death of bacteria, which decay to release harmful toxins. The digestive supplement helps to balance both the pH levels in the gut and the levels of ‘good bacteria’ to ‘bad bacteria’.
SoundHoof™
A complete hoof supplement with biotin, methionine, lysine, organic zinc and organic copper for the formation of strong, pliable, good quality hooves. MSM is added as a source of sulphur, essential for the formation of hoof wall material.
PrimoVento™
A complete respiratory supplement with antioxidants, menthol, eucalyptus and garlic to soothe the airways and maintain lung health and integrity.
Omega 3 and Zinc
Omega 3 and zinc are included to ensure healthy, scurf-free skin and a glossy, gleaming coat.
Antioxidants
Selenium, Vitamin C and Vitamin E to aid the ‘mopping up’ of free radicals and promote a healthy immune system. Blue Chip uses naturally sourced, fruit derived Vitamin E, which is 4-6 times more bioavailable than the Vitamin E found in most feed products.
Nucleotides
As well as forming a key part of the digestive supplement, nucleotides are essential building blocks of DNA and RNA and are therefore essential to every cell in the body. Nucleotides help support immunity, stamina, cell replication and repair of damaged cells.
De-stressor
Magnesium is included to keep horses and ponies calm and stress free. In addition the digestive supplement will settle the digestive system ensuring horses feel comfortable and relaxed.
Complete vitamin, mineral and nutrient package
This ensures the correct functioning of the metabolic system, central nervous system, immune system, proper growth rates, bone strength and joint health. Blue Chip uses organic/chelated minerals to ensure optimum absorption and effectiveness.
