TopSpec All-in-One is the supplement we put into TopSpec Comprehensive
Feed Balancer (therefore they should not be fed together). TopSpec
All-in-One is a granular supplement that contains a top specification
broad-spectrum supplement plus several specialised supplements, for
example, a superb hoof supplement, generous levels of anti-oxidants and
sophisticated digestive aids. This means that it is the most fully-
comprehensive supplement you can buy and it can successfully be fed to
every horse or pony on your yard.
TopSpec All-in-One supplement has been designed to supplement the
rations of all horses and ponies simply by adjusting the rate at which
it is fed and the products it is fed with. Because it contains
insignificant calories it is one of the products that we would
recommend for good-doers. As it is a powder it must be mixed with at
least a double handful of appropriate chaff. Sometimes good-doers are
also fussy feeders that dislike granular or powdered supplements, for
them we would recommend TopSpec AntiLam, a pelleted multi-supplement
with similar micronutrient content to TopSpec All-in-One Supplement.
We believe TopSpec All-in-One is the only supplement on the market that
contains all of the following features:-
A fully comprehensive range of micronutrients included at the optimum
levels needed to balance feed intake in the most demanding or stressful
situations.
Effective levels of Biotin (15mg/500kg horse/day), which, in
association with the methionine, lysine, calcium, zinc, copper, iodine
and Vitamin A present, will greatly improve hoof quality. Certain of
these nutrients also promote supple skin and a very shiny coat.
Powerful levels of Vitamin E and selenium, vital antioxidants,
important for muscle metabolism, for horses on high oil rations and for
breeding stock.
Methionine and lysine plus minerals, vitamins and trace-elements for
optimum muscle and bone development and repair.
Raised levels of copper, zinc and B vitamins, important for
blood-building.
Effective levels of calcium, phosphorous, copper and zinc to help
develop and maintain strong bone.
Generous levels of B vitamins, vital for efficient energy metabolism in
the high performance horse, and important for horses with compromised
hindgut function.
Two probiotic substances to create a healthy gut environment, improve
fibre digestion and maintain a healthy immune system:-
.
A pure, protected yeast. Recent work by Dr. D. Cuddeford B.Sc.
(Hons), PhD at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Edinburgh
University has shown that this form of yeast can significantly improve
fibre digestibility in the horse. This allows horses to gain more
benefit from the fibrous parts in their diet. A mannan oligosaccharide
(MOS). This is a natural sugar that occurs in yeast cell walls. It
bonds with pathogenic (undesirable) bacteria, removing them from the
gut, leaving the beneficial bacteria free to multiply. The combined
effect of the two yeast products is a healthier gut environment with
improved digestive efficiency.
Another way of considering this is to realise that if a horse
is fed TopSpec All-in-One supplement (or TopSpec Comprehensive
Feed Balancer) and a typical UK forage-based diet he does not need to
be fed any of the following:-
- 1) A broad-spectrum (sometimes called general purpose)
supplement.
- 2) A hoof supplement.
- 3) Additional anti-oxidants (except in very rare
circumstances).
- 4) Additional essential amino acids e.g. methionine and
lysine.
- 5) A blood tonic.
- 6) A supplement designed to improve bone growth.
- 7) A B-vitamin supplement.
- 8) Digestive aids such as yeast and MOS (mannan
oligosaccharides).
Laminitis
TopSpec All-in-One supplement is a
suitable supplement for horses and ponies prone to, being treated for,
or recovering from laminitis.
