Garlic Balancer

Two independent research studies conducted at the University of Aberystwyth have shown that feeding Horslyx Garlic Balancer can significantly reduce irritation caused by flies and other biting insects while horses are at pasture. The most recent study concluded:

“This level of reduction is indicative that the consumption of Horslyx Garlic Balancer produces a beneficial effect for the horse and that this reduction in insect burden will allow the horse to be less irritable and more manageable.”

A third independent study at Aberystwyth also demonstrated that Garlic Balancer helped reduce the frequency with which affected horses attempted to relieve the discomfort caused by sweet itch. This research concluded:

Feeding Horslyx Garlic Balancer helped to alleviate irritation caused by sweet itch, which in turn may reduce stress, making for a happier, more responsive and co-operative horse.

Horslyx Garlic Balancer helps deter biting insects during the summer months, providing relief from seasonal irritations. It also aids in alleviating the discomfort associated with sweet itch. Suitable for all horses throughout the year, Garlic Balancer offers a wide range of health benefits.

It helps correct nutritional deficiencies in forage and grazing, supporting your horse’s overall health and wellbeing year-round. When fed at the recommended intake alongside adequate amounts of high-quality forage, Garlic Balancer eliminates the need for large quantities of hard feed, making it a cost-effective choice that can save you money.

The act of licking encourages slow and measured intake, making it ideal for horses stabled for long periods, helping to relieve stress and reduce boredom. In addition, licking stimulates saliva production, which plays a key role in supporting a healthy digestive system.
