Baileys Stud Balancer – 20kg

Baileys Stud Balancer – 20kg

Baileys describe this plainly as a low-calorie, high-specification balancer for all breeding and young stock, and the protein figure tells you it means it: 32%, with lysine at 2.2%. Broodmares, stallions and growing youngstock need amino acids, calcium, phosphorus and trace elements in quantities a grass-and-hay diet cannot reach, and this delivers them without the energy of a full stud mix.

Whey and micronised soya beans sit near the top of the ingredient list, both high-quality protein sources, alongside micronised linseed meal for omega 3 and Digest Plus prebiotic at 5g/kg. Calcium runs at 3% against phosphorus at 1.5% — the 2:1 ratio that matters for skeletal development in a growing horse.

Performance & Benefits

• 32% protein with 2.2% lysine, from soya bean meal, micronised soya beans and whey.
• Calcium 3% to phosphorus 1.5% — a 2:1 ratio for skeletal development.
• Chelated trace elements: copper 225 mg/kg, zinc 500 mg/kg, manganese 180 mg/kg, selenium 1.9 mg/kg.
• Vitamin A 46,200 IU/kg, D3 6,000 IU/kg and E 840 IU/kg.
• Micronised linseed meal for omega 3 and 6, supporting tissue integrity.
• Low calorie at 6.5% starch and 7.5% sugar, so it feeds the requirement without fattening the mare.
• ScFOS Digest Plus prebiotic at 5g/kg.

Suitable For

• Broodmares and stallions, particularly those that hold weight easily.
• Youngstock through growth and development.
• Breeding stock needing nutritional support without extra energy.
• Horses not needing the full amount of a stud mix or cube.
• More protein than a resting or lightly worked riding horse requires — Baileys No.14 Lo-Cal Balancer is the one for that job.

Feeding

• Feed alongside forage, either alone or with reduced amounts of a stud mix or cube.
• Baileys publish feeding rates through their nutrition team rather than on the product page, so none is stated here.
• Introduce gradually over seven to ten days.
• Ad-lib forage and clean, fresh water alongside.
• Youngstock rates change as the animal grows — review them every few months.
