Description

Fuel an equine athlete without a starch load using Sentinel Performance LS Horse Feed, a 100% extruded Kent formula built on low starch and sugar, high fat and built-in fiber. It suits horses with elevated caloric requirements, including competition horses, hard keepers and rescue cases, and it is also recommended where digestive or metabolic health is a concern because the nutrition is easy to digest and readily used.

Key Features

  • Lowest NSC in the Line: Dietary starch stays at 10.5% maximum and sugar at 3.5% maximum, the profile veterinarians often recommend for metabolic and digestive challenges.
  • 12% Crude Fat: High fat provides dense, cool calories for sustained work and for putting condition on a hard keeper.
  • gutWise™ Technology: A proprietary blend of prebiotics, probiotics, marine-sourced calcium and NutriVantage® for horses helps maintain total digestive health.
  • Built-In Fiber: At 20% crude fiber from soybean hulls, beet pulp and alfalfa meal, it supports hindgut fermentation and supplies safe, natural calories.
  • Cool Energy: Sequential energy release from fat and fermentable fiber avoids the sharp highs of a traditional grain ration.
  • Advanced Antioxidant Package: Vitamins and organic trace minerals offer immune support for normal health and metabolism.
  • Coat and Hoof Support: Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, biotin and essential amino acids maintain skin, hair coat, hooves and strong joints and bones.

How to Use

Feed by weight against body weight, at 0.40 to 0.60 lb per 100 lb daily for mature horses in light exercise, 0.45 to 0.70 lb in moderate exercise, 0.60 to 0.80 lb in heavy exercise and 0.70 to 1.30 lb in very heavy exercise. Rescue and senior horses take 0.60 to 1.25 lb per 100 lb. Split the total across two or more feedings and adjust for condition, management and breed. Offer good-quality hay or pasture, free-choice salt and plenty of fresh water. Store in a cool, dry place and use the bag while fresh. Contains supplemental copper – do not feed to sheep.

Blend it into the current feed over seven to ten days, shifting roughly a quarter of the ration every two days. Start at the low end of the range for the horse's workload and build up while watching body condition and manure. Weigh the feed rather than scooping, since one quart holds only about 0.85 lb.
It targets equine athletes in moderate through very heavy work and horses with elevated calorie needs, including hard keepers and rescue horses coming back into condition. Kent also recommends it where digestive or metabolic health is a concern, thanks to 10.5% maximum starch. Easy keepers that hold weight on hay alone are better served by a ration balancer.
Crude protein is 12.0% minimum, lower than most performance feeds, because the calories come from 12% fat and fermentable fiber instead of grain and protein. That suits horses already getting decent-quality hay. Guaranteed lysine, methionine and threonine mean the protein present is high quality rather than merely abundant.
Keep the bag closed in a cool, dry place off the barn floor and use it while fresh, as the feed is perishable. Fed at the recommended rate it supplies balanced vitamins, organic trace minerals and probiotics, so extra fortification is generally unnecessary. The supplemental copper makes it unsafe for sheep, so keep the feed room secured.
