Tribute Essential K®
- A supplement formulated for growing, performance, and working horses.
Features and Benefits
- For all types and life stages of horses when fed as recommended.
- Low feeding rate: Essential K’s dense nutrient concentration and low calorie pellet makes it the lowest cost method of supplying the most critical nutrients.
- Optimal balance of essential amino acids for growth and muscle maintenance.
- Essential organic minerals support normal bone and tissue growth and maintenance.
- Optimum levels of antioxidants Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Selenium reduce damage from aging and exercise. Also boosts immunity.
- With Equi-Ferm XL® microencapsulated active dry yeast; acts as both a pre-and probiotic, increases total diet digestibility and improves overall gut health.
- Fortified with biotin for hoof health.
- Low sugar and starch and low feeding rate reduces negative effects on horses that are hyperactive or have metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance, laminitis, ulcers, obesity or tying-up issues.

| *An Enzyme Unit is defined as milligrams of substrate liberated/minute/lb. of feed. | |
| *A Phytase Unit (FTU) is defined as the quantity of enzyme which liberates one micromole of inorganic phosphate per minute from sodium phytate at 37°C, 5.5 pH. | |
| This feed contains a dry source of cellulase that breaks down cellulose, a dry source of protease that hydrolyzes proteins and increases the digestibility of protein in soybean meal based diets, a dry source of lipase that hydrolyzes triglycerides, a dry source of hemicellulase that breaks down hemicellulose, and a dry source of phytase which hydrolyzes phytate and increases the digestibility of phytin-bound phosphorous. |
