marstall Senior Plus is the great-tasting, high-energy and easily digestible muesli that meets the needs of older and convalescent horses. It tempts the appetite of picky veterans and helps rehab patients to get back on their feet. It also boosts the metabolism and can help to prevent age-related loss of condition when fed regularly.
This “Anti-Aging Muesli” provides greater vitality, resilience and quality of life for horses of advancing age.
marstall Senior Plus is a high quality premium muesli: Its hydrothermally macerated cereal flakes provide energy in easily digestible form to ensure that older horses with the slower digestion and lower metabolism that can come with age don’t lose condition. Highprotein ingredients such as brewer‘s yeast, linseed meal and pea flakes help with moulting, which can often be problematic in older horses, and support muscle development in convalescent horses. As they age (for warmbloods from about 20 years of age), horses need 20 - 25% more energy and protein than younger horses. Linseed, carrot flakes and apple pulp provide the great taste and supply valuable omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and dietary fibre for a healthy gut. Seaweed extract provides the additional vitamins (A, E, B complex and C) that older horses require. marstall Senior Plus also contains higher levels of trace elements (copper, zinc, iodine, selenium).
marstall Senior Plus is also ideal for building up the body composition in horses of any age. With marstall Mash and marstall Wiesen-Cobs, marstall offers a complete nutrition programme providing feed concentrates and forage for horses with dental problems.

Feeding advice
All specified feed quantities are to be given throughout the day in several small feeds. Our recommendations assume a roughage intake (hay) of 1.5 kg per 100 kg body weight per day.
Advice: Senior Plus can be given dry or moistened (as a mash).
marstall Senior Plus can also be fed soaked with warm (not hot) water. Soaked marstall Wiesen-Cobs and marstall ProCaval-Struktur are the ideal forage feed for horses with dental problems. The feed may be bulked out with small amounts of marstall Mash, which will also aid digestion.
Our tip: For age-related metabolic problems such as Cushing‘s disease, marstall Senior Plus can be replaced by cereal-free marstall Vito, while
cereal-free marstall Bergwiesen-Mash is a good alternative to marstall Mash.
