Micro-Phase

Micro-Phase is a great way to ensure your horse gets all of the nutrients he needs to stay healthy. Micro-Phase contains the vitamins and trace minerals not found in grass or hay with no extra calories. And, your horse will eat it right out of your hand!

• Does your horse or pony get fat on air alone?

• Do you have to turn out in a drylot or use a grazing muzzle? 

• Do you have to feed a lower quality hay to keep extra pounds off your mount? 

• Have you noticed a dull or dry coat on your horse or pony because of lack of dry pasture?

Add Micro-Phase to your horses' all-forage diet.

• Is your horse eating plain oats or a limited amount of fortifed feeds?

Use Micro-Phase to balance the diet. 

Unfortified grains often lack certain vitamins and minerals. Balance your horse's diet easily by feeding Micro-Phase daily. Horses and ponies on low-grain diets may not eat enough of a fortified feed to fulfill their vitamin and mineral needs. Adding Micro-Phase to the diet insures that you are providing the correct amounts of vitamins and trace minerals. All this without adding unwanted calories to the die

What horses and ponies need Micro-Phase?

• Easy keepers eating low-grain diets or on restricted pasture.
• Horses and ponies in light work consuming all-forage diets.
• Horses and ponies fed unfortified grains.
• Horses and ponies on restricted diets due to obesity issues.
• Horses and ponies of any age or stage that would benefit from additional vitamins and trace minerals.

In what form does Micro-Phase come?

Micro-Phase is a pelleted supplement.

What horses benefit from Micro-Phase?

Micro-Phase is appropriate for all horses, especially those whose entire diets are composed of forages such as pasture, hay, or hay cubes. Though fortified concentrates contain appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals, horses often become overweight when fed calorie-rich concentrates such as textured or pelleted feeds. Micro-Phase satisfies vitamin and trace mineral requirements but will not contribute calories to a ration.

How is Micro-Phase beneficial to horses and ponies consuming all-forage diets?

Diets composed entirely of forage are often the healthiest for the horse’s digestive tract. However, forages, particularly dried forms such as hay, do not contain all of the vitamins and trace minerals necessary for optimal health. In fact, levels of vitamins and minerals in forage decrease significantly during harvesting and storage. Micro-Phase contains a complete complement of essential vitamins and minerals.

Is Micro-Phase appropriate for horses and ponies that receive certain grains or concentrates?

Yes, Micro-Phase is an ideal supplement for horses that consume diets of forage and oats. Oats alone do not contain sufficient levels of minerals and vitamins for some classes of horses such as weanlings, yearlings, and mares in late gestation. With the addition of Micro-Phase, horses are assured proper vitamin and mineral fortification. Horses that are fed underfortified concentrates may also benefit from the inclusion of Micro-Phase in the ration.
Micro-Phase contains natural vitamin E. 

Why is natural vitamin E important?

The vitamin E content of dried forages such as hay and hay cubes is severely diminished, with such forages losing more then 75% of their vitamin content upon harvesting and storage. Therefore, vitamin E supplementation is most critical for horses that are confined to stalls and fed diets composed largely of preserved forages (such as racehorses, show horses, sale horses, easy keepers and convalescing horses). Current research shows that the natural vitamin E found in Micro-Phase is two to three times more potent then the synthetic E found in many supplements.
