Nutrena® Brand Announces New LiteBalance™ Calorie Controlled Formula for Horses
Nutrena® Equine

---

Nutrena®, the industry leader in advanced equine nutrition, is introducing new LiteBalance™ feed for overweight horses, “easy keepers” and horses on all-forage diets. The LiteBalance™ formula features high nutrient density and a controlled-calorie design to help horse owners avoid feeding excess calories while still providing balanced nutrition to their horse.

According to the American Association of Equine Practitioners, excess weight puts a strain on virtually every system in a horse’s body. The advanced, controlled-calorie LiteBalance™ formula is specially designed to help achieve or maintain proper body condition without cutting back on critical nutrients. When fed as directed along with adequate hay or forage, LiteBalance™ provides horses a nutritionally balanced diet with a controlled calorie intake.

LiteBalance™ will be available nation-wide on August 15, 2006. For a limited time, customers will receive a free weight management kit* with the purchase of two bags of LiteBalance™ feed. The promotion will run through September 30, 2006 or while supplies last. This promotion will be offered at participating Nutrena® dealers throughout the United States. For more information or to locate the Nutrena® dealer nearest you, please visit www.nutrenaworld.com, or call 1-800-367-4894.
