HORSES & HEALTH
SafeChoice® expands with new products
showing what ‘more’ means for horse owners
Cargill recently announced the addition of three new SafeChoice® horse feed products and an update to
the existing products in the SafeChoice line. The Nutrena® brand changed the feed industry over 15
years ago with the debut of the original SafeChoice feed, the first-ever controlled-starch horse feed to
hit the market. Now, there’s more innovative feed to love from SafeChoice.
With three new feed options available, SafeChoice is
expanding to include more options with superior taste and
greater health benefits:
• SafeChoice Senior LM is a specially designed formula for
the older horse with high fat and controlled starch.
• SafeChoice Perform Textured is specially designed to
meet the unique needs of performance horses, and provides
controlled starch levels in a textured formula.
• SafeChoice Mare & Foal Textured is specially designed
for pregnant or lactating mares, weanlings and yearlings,
and provides controlled starch levels in a textured
formula.
The additions to the SafeChoice family of feeds provide
owners more options for their
horses with more benefits,
including textured feed form
options with controlled starch
levels, superior amino-acid levels
for topline improvement, and
digestive support based on each
type of horse.
“Our SafeChoice feeds continue to meet the unique
nutritional needs of horses,” said Russell Mueller, U.S. retail
equine marketing manager for Cargill. “With SafeChoice,
horse owners have more choice to tailor their feed programs
and give their horses a feed with superior taste.”
Improvements to the SafeChoice formulas include updates
to guaranteed sugar and starch levels, limitations
on variable ingredients, and superior palatability. And
with the understanding that each horse is different, the
full SafeChoice line gives horse owners the flexibility to
choose feeds based on their horses’ individual needs
based on age and activity levels.
