We already know the risks associated with starch intake and the main conditions that justify controlling it in the horse's diet.<\/p>\n
However, we also recognize its important role as a source of calories and its importance in nutrition, particularly in the performance of anaerobic physical activity. Therefore, to minimize the impact of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCHC), particularly starch, and enhance their pre-cecal digestion, we must:<\/p>\n
There is currently a gap in European legislation that has allowed the claim \u201clow starch\u201d to be used on products with very variable starch contents. In order to make this claim, it is only necessary to specify the starch content on the label, and its limits are not defined. However, it is relatively consensual to state a low starch content when a product has a content of less than 20%.<\/p>\n
Our Gastro Pro and Nature Mash foods are products formulated with low starch content, presenting 8 and 12% of starch, respectively.<\/p>\n
Naturally, a low-starch diet will have to include other sources of calories, usually high in fiber and fat. Since the raw materials used in these foods generally have a higher economic value, these products also have a higher cost.<\/p>\n
Easily excitable horses may benefit from these foods, as well as obese horses (naturally predisposed to insulin resistance), insulin resistant horses, horses with Equine Gastric Ulceration Syndrome (EGUS), myopathies, intestinal acidosis or laminitis.<\/p>\n
The use of these foods should be done under the advice of your nutritionist or veterinarian.<\/p>\n
