Sentinel® 100% Extruded Horse Feed
Extruded Feed for Extraordinary Nutrition.
PELLETED VS. EXTRUDED
Light, Airy Nuggets for Improved Digestibility
Extrusion takes our high quality, finely ground ingredients and pressure cooks them with moisture into airy nuggets. They’re lighter, larger and have more volume than pellets, encouraging a healthier rate of intake. They also break down much easier, lowering the risk of feed-related choke and certain digestive upsets.
EXTRUDED HORSE FEED
- Lighter, larger and less dense than pellets
- Breakdown faster and easier for healthy foregut digestion of certain nutrients
- Encourages eating or chewing at a healthier rate of intake.
PELLETED HORSE FEED
- Heavier, smaller and more dense than extruded nuggets
- Require more pressure and longer saturation to break down
- Some horses may not completely chew or bolt when eating smaller feed particles too quickly

How Does EXTRUDED FEED WORK?
Extruded horse feed helps your horse live a healthier life.
No matter your horse’s nutritional needs, our 100% extruded feeds are made to optimize nutrient absorption, provide more calories for energy and may help lower the risk of digestive upsets that may lead to choke, colic and laminitis.
Nutritional Information
Sentinel Extruded Horse Feed guards equine health.
Stable Digestive Environment
Our extruded horse feeds contain prebiotics and probiotics which aid in maintaining digestive health and microbial fermentation for sustained nutrient digestibility, absorption and assimilation.
Nutrient Density and Release
A nutrient-dense diet means potentially delivering more of what your horse needs in less feed for ideal health and body condition.
Limited Starch and Sugar
Often recommended for horses with metabolic and digestive challenges, our extruded line is made with low starch and low sugar ingredients.
Gastric Balance
Bioavailable marine-sourced calcium helps support gastric pH and health especially during times of stress.
Built-In Fiber
Fiber sources such as soybean hulls, beet pulp and alfalfa meal may help maintain healthy hindgut fermentation while providing extra calories.
‘Cool’ Energy
A sequential release of energy from fat and fermentable fiber provides lower starch calories to meet the complex energy demands and helps maintain normal digestive health.
Optimized Nutrition
NutriVantage® for horses is a research-driven feed supplement consisting of a blend of organic macromolecules, trace minerals, antioxidants, and chelating agents that may aid in nutrient availability, reduce the effects of stress and promote a healthy gut environment.
Immune Support
Antioxidant nutrients including stable vitamins and biologically available trace minerals help maintain normal health and metabolism.
Joint Support
Omega-3 fatty acids, stable vitamins and balanced minerals may help maintain joint and bone health and strength.
Body Tissues & Integrity
Amino acids such as lysine, methionine and threonine are important for growth and maintenance of all tissues including bone, muscle, hoof and hair.
Healthy Skin and Hair Coat
Sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids plus protein, B-vitamins and trace minerals complexes may help promote healthy skin, hair coat and hoof condition.
Healthy Rate of Intake
The light and airy nature of 100% extruded feeds may facilitate the breakdown of feed while encouraging slower consumption and more thorough chewing for maintaining digestive health.

Benefits of Extruded Feeds with Dr. Randy Raub
Sentinel Nutrition Expert Dr. Randy Raub explains the benefits of including extruded feed in your horse's feed program. Dr. Raub describes how extruded feeds are made, how that process sets it apart from other types of feed, and how extruded feed increases your horse's digestive efficiency.
How many scoops do I feed?
Depends on the size of scoop and type of feed! It's important to feed by weight not by volume.
Using a ONE-quart scoop to get two pounds of feed:
Pelleted Feed
1.5 one-quart scoops = 2 pounds
Textured Feed
1.8 one-quart scoops = 2 pounds
100% Extruded Feed
2.5 one-quart scoops = 2 pounds
