Baileys No. 21 Ease & Excel Mix 15kg

A low-starch, high-fibre, high-oil mix formulated for horses prone to gastric ulcers. Ease & Excel is free from micronised cereal flakes, meaning the majority of energy comes from fibre and oil — sources that are easier on the digestive system — with high-quality proteins to maintain condition and performance.

• High fibre & high oil — slow-release, non-heating energy sources that are gentle on the gut
• Free from micronised cereal flakes — reduces starch load and the risk of hindgut acidosis

FAQ

Why is a low-starch diet important for horses with gastric ulcers?

High-starch feeds can increase acid production in the stomach and disrupt the hindgut microbiome, both of which can worsen gastric ulcers. A low-starch, high-fibre diet helps maintain a more stable gastric environment and reduces acid splash during exercise.

How does it differ from Ease & Excel Cubes?

Both are formulated for ulcer-prone and sensitive horses with low starch and high fibre. The mix format (No. 21) is 15kg and provides a slightly different texture and palatability profile. The cubes (No. 24) are 20kg and provide higher energy levels suitable for conditioning and performance.

Is it suitable for horses in work?

Yes — the high-quality protein and oil content support condition and performance, making Ease & Excel Mix suitable for horses in work that need a gut-friendly energy source.

Is it suitable for horses prone to excitability?

Yes — the low-starch, fibre and oil-based energy profile makes Ease & Excel Mix a suitable option for horses that become excitable on higher-starch feeds.
