is there a cheaper alternative to top spec

There are lots of balancers out there, some are more expensive that Top Spec, some less. I feed it because it contains fairly large amounts of hoof growing ingredients. I recently saw an ad for Dengie's new HiFi and Alfa-A balancer. I contacted them and they said I would have to feed their Alfa-A balancer as an equivalent at £24 for 10 - yes TEN kilos. Making it a whopping £48/bag.

It is hard to check which one is better/cheaper because they are all slightly different in the ingredient department. Some also don't seem to taste nice, my horse did not like the D&H one.
 
Depends why you are feeding the Top Spec in the first place, what version of Top Spec you are feeding, and what else is in your horse's diet!
 
You could if you are feeding the balancer swap to the supplement version which is much cheaper but has the same vitamins in it and then use that mixed with a cheaper fibre source.
 
The supplement version contains less protein and I think lacks the pro/prebiotic bit of the mix so isn't as good depending on your reasons for feeding it.

I think Equilibra is pretty similar but a fraction of the price
