Special feed low in starch and sugar (not cereal muesli)
Normal cereal muesli contains - contrary to our Pro PSSM - high proportions of carbohydrates (starch), which are converted into glucose (sugar) during "metabolisation". Horses that are light-footed or are fed too much concentrated feed for the work they are required to do will suffer from over-acidification of the body cells as a result. Due to these facts, the following symptoms can occur:
- glucose intolerance and insulin resistance
- laminitis, cross-stitch, Cushing's syndrome, PSSM and
EMS
Horses suffering from the carbohydrate storage disease "PSSM" (Polysaccharide Storage Myophatia), for example, have a chronic metabolic problem, also known as sugar storage disease. This disease can be hereditary in certain breeds of horses. The horses show reluctance to move, stiffness and lack of energy. A muscle biopsy is necessary and will correctly show the degree of the disease.
In the Marstall recipe "PRO PSSM" we have reduced the freely available carbohydrates (starch/sugar) to an absolute minimum. Most of the ingredients bring vegetable oils and fats as an energy source into this concentrate. In this way we remove the "nutritional basis" of this insidious disease and actively combat its causes.
