Secret ingredients in Blue Chip/Top Spec/Supplements

[PoppyAnderson]

Does anyone know an easy way of finding out what ingredients go into various feeds? I know some feeds list on the bags and you can also ring the manufacturers helplines but there are some that keep it as top secret! I want to be able to compare and contrast conditioning and balancing feeds from a % of nutrients point of view but am struggling to find out the necessary info. Thanks for any advice in advance.

as far as i know they are not allowed to keep it "top secret" all ingredients must be stated on the bag by law. some bags have a label sewn on, some have the list printed on the bags...

I agree, they have to state all ingredients the same as our food

Ask Baileys for their balancers comparison sheet. It compares TopSpec, Blue Chip and Baileys Lo-Cal. Quite useful. But as said before, nothing is "top secret" with food (or it shouldn't be)!

That is a fab resource. Painstakingly set up by a member of Saddle Up, it compares the vitamins and minerals breakdown of all known balancers and not just the top 3.

Brill. Thank you so much for this little gem. Exactly what I had in mind. God bless the patient soul who did this spreadsheet!
