Senior Maintenance Mix

Age has its Benefits
For older horses in good condition

SPILLERS® Senior Maintenance Mix is first specialist senior feed on the market designed for the older good doer that does not require a conditioning feed, but will benefit from specialist supportive nutrition.

  • Ideal for native types and good doers
  • Ideal for summer feeding of horses that would normally winter on SPILLERS® Senior Conditioning Mix
  • Low energy, with highly digestible fibre and low cereal starch content to reduce the risk of weight gain and excitability
  • Small size particles for easy chewing by horses with poor teeth

Benefits of both SPILLERS® Senior Feeds

    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.
