Micro-Phase NOW WITH NATURAL VITAMIN E !!!!
Does your horse or pony get fat on air alone?
Do you have to turn out in a drylot or use a grazing muzzle?
Do you have to feed a lower quality hay to keep extra pounds off your mount?
Have you noticed a dull or dry coat on your horse or pony because of lack of
pasture?
Add Micro-Phase to your horses' all-forage diet.
Micro-Phase is a great way to ensure your horse gets all of the nutrients he needs
to stay healthy. Micro-Phase contains the vitamins and trace minerals not found in
grass or hay with no extra calories. And, your horse will eat it right out of your
hand!
Is your horse eating plain oats or a limited amount of fortifed feeds?
Use Micro-Phase to balance the diet.
Unfortified grains often lack certain vitamins and minerals. Balance your horse's
diet easily by feeding Micro-Phase daily. Horses and ponies on low-grain diets may
not eat enough of a fortified feed to fulfill their vitamin and mineral needs. Adding
Micro-Phase to the diet insures that you are providing the correct amounts of
vitamins and trace minerals. All this without adding unwanted calories to the diet.
WHEN AND HOW TO USE
What horses and ponies need Micro-Phase?
Easy keepers eating low-grain diets or on restricted pasture.
Horses and ponies in light work consuming all-forage diets.
Horses and ponies fed unfortified grains.
Horses and ponies on restricted diets due to obesity issues.
Horses and ponies of any age or stage that would benefit from additional vitamins
and trace minerals.
In what form does Micro-Phase come?
Micro-Phase is a pelleted supplement.
What horses benefit from Micro-Phase?
Micro-Phase is appropriate for all horses, especially those whose entire diets are
composed of forages such as pasture, hay, or hay cubes. Though fortified
concentrates contain appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals, horses often
become overweight when fed calorie-rich concentrates such as textured or pelleted
feeds. Micro-Phase satisfies vitamin and trace mineral requirements but will not
contribute calories to a ration.
How is Micro-Phase beneficial to horses and ponies consuming all-forage
diets?
Diets composed entirely of forage are often the healthiest for the horse’s digestive
tract. However, forages, particularly dried forms such as hay, do not contain all of
the vitamins and trace minerals necessary for optimal health. In fact, levels of
vitamins and minerals in forage decrease significantly during harvesting and
storage. Micro-Phase contains a complete complement of essential vitamins and
minerals.
Is Micro-Phase appropriate for horses and ponies that receive certain grains
or concentrates?
Yes, Micro-Phase is an ideal supplement for horses that consume diets of forage
and oats. Oats alone do not contain sufficient levels of minerals and vitamins for
some classes of horses such as weanlings, yearlings, and mares in late gestation.
With the addition of Micro-Phase, horses are assured proper vitamin and mineral
fortification. Horses that are fed underfortified concentrates may also benefit from
the inclusion of Micro-Phase in the ration.
Micro-Phase contains natural vitamin E. Why is natural vitamin E important?
The vitamin E content of dried forages such as hay and hay cubes is severely
diminished, with such forages losing more then 75% of their vitamin content upon
harvesting and storage. Therefore, vitamin E supplementation is most critical for
horses that are confined to stalls and fed diets composed largely of preserved
forages (such as racehorses, show horses, sale horses, easy keepers and
convalescing horses). Current research shows that the natural vitamin E found in
Micro-Phase is two to three times more potent then the synthetic E found in many
supplements.

Exactly what vitamins and minerals are offered in
Micro-Phase?
Fifteen vitamins and minerals are found in Micro-
Phase: calcium, phosphorus, copper, selenium, zinc,
vitamin A, vitamin D, natural vitamin E, thiamine,
choline, folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin,
and vitamin B12.
Are the nutrients in Micro-Phase easily digested
by horses and ponies?
Yes, many of the minerals in Micro-Phase are
chelated, which means they have been chemically
bound to certain organic compounds that shield the
mineral from external influences during digestion and
increase intestinal absorption. Yeast culture is also an
ingredient in Micro-Phase. Extensive research has
shown that yeast culture promotes phosphorus
digestion.
Vitamin E – Natural vs. Synthetic
Vitamin E is the most powerful antioxidant in the
equine diet. But not all forms of the vitamin are
created equally. Most supplements contain synthetic
vitamin E (dl-alpha tocopherol acetate), which is not
as potent as natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol
acetate). Compared to synthetic vitamin E, the body
can more efficiently transport and deliver natural
vitamin E to target tissues. Current research in several
species, including horses, shows that natural vitamin
E is two to three times more potent than synthetic.
SCIENTIFICALLY FORMULATED
Micro-Phase is scientifically formulated to meet the
vitamin and trace mineral needs of your easy keepers
and lightly worked horses or ponies without adding
extra calories.
Designed for horses and ponies on all-forage or
limited-pasture diets
Micro-Phase was designed to be fed by itself to
horses and ponies on an all-forage diet or a diet
including limited pasture. It provides the missing
vitamins and trace minerals necessary to balance the
diet.
Scientifically formulated to be fed along with single-
grain or low-grain diets
Unfortified grains like oats fed as the main grain meal
will not provide adequate vitamins and trace minerals.
Micro-Phase’s blend of ingredients can be used to
effectively balance a diet consisting of plain grains.
Horses and ponies on low-grain diets may not eat
enough of a fortified feed to fulfill their vitamin and
mineral needs. Adding Micro-Phase to the diet
insures that you are providing the correct amounts of
vitamins and trace minerals. All this without adding
unwanted calories to the diet.
Researchers Confirm Vitamin E Lower in Horses
Without Access to Pasture
Horses and ponies are managed in varying conditions.
A vast number of them do not have access to
growing pasture year-round due to geographic region,
season, training schedules, obesity issues or specific
management routines. Because of their limited intake
of fresh forages, these horses do not consume
sufficient vitamin E for optimal health. Insufficient
vitamin E in the diet can lead to muscle problems and
impaired immune function.
