Top Spec Donkey Forage Balancer

TopSpec Donkey Forage Balancer is designed to be fed to donkeys from three weeks of age upwards. This palatable balancer provides essential vitamins and minerals plus amino acids, pure specific yeast, and MOS (mannan oligosaccharides) to balance forage (usually in the form of poor grass, straw, hay, or chop). The low protein, cereal-grain-free, low sugar and starch, low calorie but high-fibre formula will not promote weight gain and can be used as an important part of a weight reduction programme when the rest of the diet is also calorie controlled.

Feeding trials at The Donkey Sanctuary have shown that the best way of delivering an optimal level of nutrition, without promoting weight gain, is to feed small amounts of a multi-supplement in a concentrated, palatable pellet such as Donkey Forage Balancer, which is designed to be fed with forage, avoiding the need to add excess calories to the donkey’s diet. It is palatable and pelleted and can be fed on its own in a bucket or by hand.

For donkeys that need to gain condition, it is recommended that Comprehensive Feed Balancer is fed.
