This unique formula may also be fed to certain horses where maintenance of digestive and metabolic health is a challenge. An extruded feed, Sentinel Simply Lite offers a safe and natural way to provide essential nutrition that may be easily digested for optimal nutrient utilization.

- Optimized Nutrition - NutriVantage® for horses incorporates exclusive components that may help aid in nutrient availability and maintenance of a healthy gut environment for immune support.
- Limited Starch and Sugar - A low starch and sugar diet is often recommended by veterinarians and nutritionists for horses with metabolic and digestive challenges.
- Healthy Rate of Intake - The light and airy nature of extruded feeds may facilitate the breakdown of feed while encouraging slow consumption and more thorough chewing for maintaining digestive health.
- Nutrient Density and Release - A nutrient dense diet means more nutrition by weight, potentially delivering more of what your horse needs in less feed for ideal health and body condition.
- Built-In Fiber - Fiber sources such as soybean hulls and beet pulp may help maintain healthy hind-gut fermentation.
