"PURINA IS FULL OF SUGAR" - Myth 👹
➜ Sugar is bad news, but we often forget the role of starch and how it can influence excitability in the horse.
Each company uses a different calculation method to calculate the sugar and starch (NSC). Some companies only provide sugar levels without taking into account starch.
➜ The sugar and starch content (which is not to be neglected) is cleverly calculated for each of our feeds. We therefore have a guaranteed range for many of our products, including a selection of products specifically designed to limit NSC intake.
Integri-T is a North American leader with a guaranteed maximum NSC rate of 10%, the lowest on the market.
➜ We use molasses mainly to give good taste and its inclusion is minimal most of the time except for the feeds meant for the racing market such as our Veloci-T line.
The sugar level, for most of our products is often below the sugar intake of a pasture or even hay.
➜ The sticky and messy appearance of certain textures such as Trimax or Elite is due to the application of a coating of oil and molasses on the outside of the product.
The amount of sugar and starch in these products is controlled to minimize the problems of excitability and tying-up.
