KER Low GI Cube (Formerly Barastoc Low GI Cube)

Low GI Cube™ is a low-glycaemic cube with slow-release energy for performance and breeding horses. This feed’s convenient cube form is research proven to produce a lower glycaemic response after consumption than traditional feeds. By minimising sudden spikes in blood glucose and insulin levels, Low GI Cube ensures a safe release of cool energy. Low GI Cube contains KER BMC®, a marine-derived calcium shown to effectively buffer the stomach and hindgut, providing targeted support for digestive health.

Low GI Cube is a blend of low-glycaemic energy sources, quality protein, amino acids, vitamins, and organic minerals.These components have been shown by research to increase bone mineralisation, immune responses, coat quality, and hoof health.

Low GI Cube derives energy from fats and digestible fibre, making it ideal for horses that do not tolerate cereal grain. Minimal energy is derived from starch, resulting in a lower glycemic response to feeding.

The horse’s digestive tract is designed to slowly digest and absorb feed. Feeds high in starch and sugar are absorbed quickly and often cause sudden changes in blood glucose and insulin levels, or upset the flora and pH balance of the hindgut. These sudden changes may increase the risk of disorders such as excitable behaviour, hindgut acidosis, colic, laminitis, equine metabolic syndrome, developmental orthopaedic disease, and tying-up.
