All-Phase® is a highly digestible source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. This ration balancer pellet is formulated to provide required levels of micronutrients at a low intake. All-Phase is fortified with KER micronutrients to include natural-source vitamin E, chelated trace minerals, B vitamins, biotin, yeast culture, and organic selenium.
The true advantage of using a balancer pellet such as All-Phase is that the horse owner can meet the horse’s requirement for protein, vitamins, and minerals and control the amount of energy supplied to the horse without having to worry if the horse is getting too much.
A balancer pellet can be used three ways: (1) alone as a low-calorie source of protein, vitamins, and minerals; (2) combined with straight grains for a no-molasses feed; or (3) as a top-dress for a concentrate fed at less than the recommended feeding rate.
If fed properly, a balancer pellet such as All-Phase can give peace of mind that all of the horses on a farm receive the nutrients needed to grow, perform, or reproduce.
All-Phase provides flexibility in customizing the nutritional management of individual horses.
All-Phase is a combination of essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants including natural vitamin E, protein, and yeast metabolite in a convenient low-intake, low-calorie pellet.
Organic minerals have been shown by research to increase bone mineralisation, immune responses, coat quality, and hoof growth and quality.
Designed as a potent source of essential nutrients, All-Phase can be used to balance diets of roughage, pasture, grain or those on restricted-calorie diets. All-Phase provides essential nutrition to assist in optimal growth, performance, general health and well-being.
Designed as an everyday fully fortified balancer for performance, breeding, growing and spelling horses to provide a source of essential nutrients to balance the diet
Why Choose All-Phase
- Can be mixed with cereal grains or other feeds to balance the essential levels of micronutrients when less than recommended levels of a fortified feed are given
- For easy keepers, All-Phase provides the necessary protein, vitamins, and minerals without excessive energy intake
- Metabolic or special-need requirements can be addressed with All-Phase, including horses with laminitis, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and obesity
Why use All-Phase?
- Organic minerals have been shown by research to increase bone mineralisation, immune responses, coat quality, hoof growth and quality
- All-Phase contains a yeast metabolite postbiotic to enhance the horse’s gut microbiome and promote digestive health and immunity
- Designed as a concentrated source of essential nutrients, All-Phase can be used to balance diets of roughage, pasture, grain, or those on restricted-calorie diets
- All-Phase provides essential nutrition to assist in optimal growth, performance, general health and well-being
When to use All-Phase
- Designed as an everyday fully fortified balancer for performance, breeding, growing and spelling horses to provide a source of essential nutrients to balance the diet
- Supplementation of forage-only, home-mixed rations or when premixed feeds are fed below the recommended feeding rates
- May be used as a supplement for horses prone to laminitis or with developmental orthopaedic disease (DOD)
- Provides nutrients needed to ensure optimum growth in young horses, and to assist in maximising fertility in breeding stock
Recent studies have shown that certain organic or chelated minerals provide many advantages to the horse. These advantages include a higher rate of absorption and biological availability, which can lead to benefits such as promotion of hoof wall growth, and increases in immune response and bone mineralisation.
A recent study was conducted on yearlings at the Hidaka Training and Research Centre of the Japan Racing Association. The study compared two groups of Thoroughbreds; one group was provided with organic minerals (zinc, copper and manganese) in their diet, and the other was provided with the same levels of inorganic minerals. Researchers measured differences in bone formation and resorption markers and radiographic bone density images (RBAE) with interesting findings.
At the conclusion of the 180 day study it was found that providing organic trace minerals to the diet had the effect of promoting bone formation and significantly increasing bone mineral content in young horses. All Phase contains the same form and level of organic minerals that were used in this study.

Feeding Directions
All-Phase is designed to be fed in combination with forage, with or without unfortified cereal grains, and at a rate of 1-2 pounds per 1,000 pounds of body weight per day, depending on the intensity of the work, and size and body condition of the horse. When fed with a small amount of another fortified feed, less may be required. Always provide clean, fresh water and high-quality hay. See example diets using All-Phase.
