Benefits of both SPILLERS® Senior Feeds

  • Joint Support
    Glucosamine hydrochloride is included to help support joint mobility. Just 2kg of SPILLERS® Senior feeds supplies 4g per day of glucosamine hydrochloride, equivalent to that supplied by some joint supplements.
  • Quality Protein
    An excellent amino acid profile is included to support muscle tone and topline.
  • Chelated Minerals
    Selenium, manganese, copper and zinc are chelated for better absorption and to support hoof health.
  • Digestive Support
    Live yeast is included to support fibre digestion in the hind gut and to help maintain gut health.
  • Antioxidants
    A high level of Vitamin E and chelated selenium are included to help support the immune system and maintain a healthy antioxidant status.  
  • B vitamins
    Fully fortified with B vitamins, as production in the gut may be impaired.
