About this episode

Dr. Nicole Rambo and Heather discuss the differences in ration balancers and their impact on equine nutrition.

Dr. Nicole Rambo and Heather discuss differences in ration balancers, explaining their ingredients, purpose, and how they compare. With Tribute's products, they note that while Wholesome Blends contains slightly higher NSC (15% vs. 12%) compared to Essential K, the actual sugar and starch difference at recommended feeding rates is small. The conversation highlights the role of ration balancers for easy keepers, the importance of forage quality and intake in managing weight and metabolic health, and the challenges of accurately assessing forage NSC, particularly on pasture.
