Healthy Muscle Function |
Muscle Development and Top LineWhatever the discipline, to develop a strong rounded musculature, the performance horse needs the right building blocks in the diet. Performance Balancer contains elevated levels of top quality protein, supplying essential amino acids which are important components of muscle and other body tissues. Feeding the correct amount of Performance Balancer, on its own or with any of Baileys’ conditioning or competition feeds, will ensure a balanced diet which will support muscle development and top line without the need for expensive “bodybuilding” supplements.

Stress and high starch diets are recognised risk factors for working and performance horses who experience exercise-associated muscle disorders. Controlling starch intake is known to help in the support of healthy muscle function so feeding Performance Balancer, alongside forage and other low starch energy sources, where appropriate, will ensure a fully balanced yet low starch diet.
As workload increases so do the amounts of, potentially harmful, free radicals produced by the muscles during metabolism. Performance Balancer’s high levels of antioxidants, in the form of vitamins C and E and Sel-Plex® organic selenium, help neutralise these free radicals and thus aid healthy muscle function. Other minerals, like calcium and magnesium, are involved in neuro transmission and important for correct muscle function. Performance Balancer can be fed to ensure the diet is never short of these essential nutrients.
Fibre held in the hindgut acts as a reservoir for water and electrolytes, which can help maintain hydration levels and therefore reduce the risks to muscle health associated with dehydration. Pre and probiotics in Performance Balancer, support a healthy microbial population, ensuring maximum nutritional benefit is obtained from dietary forage and fibre, including the absorption of electrolyte minerals.
