Tribute Essential K® Pellet

A low NSC ration balancer to be fed alone or used as a top dress with any other Tribute® product to provide essential vitamins, trace minerals, and amino acids. For horses consuming forage that is 50% or less legume.

• Low Feeding Rate. A dense nutrient concentration and low calorie pellet makes it a low cost method of supplying essential nutrients.
• Low NSC. Beneficial for hyperactive or special needs horses, such as those with insulin resistance, laminitis, obesity, or tying-up.
• Optimal balance of essential amino acids, organic minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants to support dietary requirements and peak performance.

*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.
