StaySTRONG™ 33 Ration Balancer Product Number A Supplement for All Classes of Horses Product Positioning Mineral and vitamin supplementation is necessary for horses for several reasons: • Required for digestion and utilization of feedstuffs and for most metabolic processes • Due to mineral depletion of soils, feedstuff nutrient value is lower • Mineral and vitamin content of forages varies greatly • Due to vitamin-mineral interactions, these nutrients need to be supplied in the correct amounts and proportions to achieve optimum performance Supplemental protein may be required based on growth requirements, reproductive stage, and forage quality. StaySTRONG 33 Ration Balancer provides the necessary protein, minerals, and vitamins to complement forages and grains, enabling horses to reach their performance potential. StaySTRONG 33 Ration Balancer combines the advantages of GROSTRONG® Minerals with high-quality protein sources. It is the result of unsurpassed formulation expertise and leading edge technology. Over 100 years of formulation and manufacturing expertise back the reliability and nutritional soundness of StaySTRONG 33 Ration Balancer. StaySTRONG 33 Ration Balancer, a Forage First® vitamin-mineral product, is a key component of the Forage First program. Forage First programs combine good-quality forage, GROSTRONG vitamin-mineral products, and energy-based products, when needed, to produce balanced total rations. With this combination of feeds, horses can be healthy and perform at their best when fed less grain than they would receive from traditional horse rations. Consequently, horses are at less risk of metabolic and digestive disorders and DOD that may result from high-starch intake. Product Description StaySTRONG 33 Ration Balancer is a high-quality, pelleted, protein-vitamin-mineral product designed for use in situations where additional protein is needed, especially in rations for growing horses and gestating and lactating broodmares. Contains GROSTRONG Minerals Ensures horses receive 28 major minerals, trace minerals, vitamins, and electrolytes (including salt) in the correct amounts and ratios needed for maintenance, growth, reproduction, and performance. Complexed mineral sources are more readily available compared with inorganic sources, which could be crucial to stressed horses and may also provide health benefits such as immunity, skeletal growth, and hoof integrity. Horse nutrient requirements can be specifically addressed, which allows product to be designed to provide the amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals needed specifically by horses. Assures horse owners of commitment to ensuring high-quality products that perform. Enables horse to reach their genetic potential by providing key amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals lacking in feedstuffs. Ensures essential amino acid needs are met for maintenance, growth, reproduction, and performance. Supplies energy; also contributes to hair coat shine and “bloom.” Enables more efficient metabolism of nutrients from the foregut, resulting in better nutrient utilization of the entire ration. Zinpro®* 4-Plex®* C (complexed zinc, manganese, copper, & cobalt) Formulated specifically for horses 100+ years of livestock nutrition research and manufacturing experience Optimum amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals Provides 33% high-quality protein Provides vegetable oil Provides direct fed microbials Provides Prosponse® yeast Studies have shown yeast enhances feed palatability, digestibility, and hindgut fermentation.

Features and Benefits continued. Portion of vitamin E is natural-source Pellet form Highly palatable with addition of apple flavoring Protects body tissues from oxidative damage. The need for vitamin E is vital to immune system functioning and may be especially important for working horses as they are more prone to exercise-induced muscle damage. Research shows naturalsource vitamin E is more bio-available compared with synthetic vitamin E. Better nutrient digestibility and absorption; easy-to-feed and reduces feed waste.

Instructions for Feeding StaySTRONG 33 Ration Balancer for horses is not a complete feed – it must be fed with forage. This product can be fed alone, used as a top-dress over other feed, or used as a mixer pellet for grain mixes (see below). The total product-grain mixture should be fed up to 3 lb per horse, per meal. All ration changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days. Clean, fresh water should always be available. For Mature Idle Horses Feed 1/2 -1 lb of StaySTRONG 33 Ration Balancer and 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lb of good-quality forage per 100 lb of body weight daily. For...
