Digestive Health

The result is a stimulated activity and growth of beneficial good bacteria for more efficient feed conversion. Improvements in horse appetite, behaviour and manure quality are all associated with a healthy gut environment.

This has a positive effect on the horse’s natural immune system, reducing the risk of disease through a stronger immune response.
Hoof Health
By creating a healthier gut microbiome, Biotin is produced naturally by the horse in the hindgut and utilised to help maintain hoof health.

FAQ
How to introduce CEN XtraBalance into feed?
Start with half the recommended feed rate for the first 5 days.
If your horse is a picky eater, mix well first with CEN Oil or other feed. Some horses dislike the texture or taste at first, but a slow introduction will get their tastebuds used to the product.
Can I feed double the recommended feed rate?
Yes, in times of high stress, workload or mycotoxins. At double the recommended feed rate can be highly effective in these situations and is safe to feed.
Can I feed CEN XtraBalance on top of CEN CF50 or CEN Complete Grain Free?
Yes, CEN XtraBalance is an excellent addition to all feeds as additional digestive support for horses prone to digestive upsets from stress or increased workload.

Wonderful product I use for digestion support, hoof health and mycotoxin removal, I have noticed significant improvement in hoof health over the months using this product and living on a big property mycotoxin removal support is essential.

XtraBalance is one of my favourite CEN products and worked absolute wonders on my galloway show mare in 2018/19 show seasons, she went from a sour, uncatchable mare who refused to eat to a sweet, sooky mare who licked the bin clean, I struggled for months with this mare and also tried other similar products on the market with no success at all, a combination of CEN Oil and XtraBalance had this mare sane, listening to me on show day and absolutely gleaming with dapples and a coat like silk, it is definitely my go to product and I now have several horses using this daily including an OTTB, a 3yo, a stallion and weanling pony fillies, I find the longer you use this product the better the results! Highly recommend!

Wonderful product I’ve very happy with the overall health and immune support of this product in both my horses. Also it’s only a scoop a day compared to other brands which need so much each day the feeds then need to be wet down. With CEN Xtrabalance it’s very user friendly as doesn’t make feed too dusty at all! Highly recommend.

My Thoroughbred Mare suffered very loose stools for approx 6 months after I bought her. I tried everything, but nothing seemed to curb the problem until a friend of mine (who has a lot of experience in showing horses and making them look their best) recommended CEN XTRABALANCE to me.
After trying CEN XTRABALANCE, I have never looked back really. It has saved me a lot of time and money.
After a good 2-3 weeks of supplementing her diet with XTRABALANCE, her stools firmed up to a normal, healthy level, her coat improved dramatically and her hooves actually grew faster and stronger!

I have been using CEN XtraBalance for a few weeks now and to say I’m so happy with the product would be an understatement. After many winters of owning Jolly I have noticed she has never been as happy during the wet months, as she is during the hotter weather, she has been a little moody during the winter, she is definitely not a moody type so couldn’t quite put my finger what the issue may be and how I can improve her internal digestive health. Of course being a horse she will still have her moments and be a little bit moody/have her bad days, however this year I made the choice to try out your products after hearing so many good things about them.
I have noticed over the period of time using the ‘XtraBalance’ Jolly overall already seems so much happier, she has become so much less nippy and her gut health has improved so much. I can now walk up to her stomach when she is eating without her getting unhappy. I just wanted to say thank you so much for provided myself and others with incredible supplements such as the ‘XtraBalance’. I am so glad I have found a reliable product to help support my ponies digestive health and help reduce risks of digestive upsets. I have already seen further improvement in both of the ponies coats, they have become so healthy and content. Thank you so much again!

Game changer!! Is all I can say about this product.
I have tried numerous products on the market to help support my show ponies gut health. Can’t even imagine how much money I’ve wasted trying products with little to no results.
After coming across Bryan and Peter’s podcast I contacted Bryan directly to discuss my concerns. Not only did I love not being pushed into buying their products (Like most other companies) but the time given with discussing gut health in depth and the benefits xtrabalance can offer my horses was outstanding.
I had a pony who had a list of issues
– stress while traveling
– stools were like water constantly while away at shows
– go off his feed
– nippy
– girthy
– difficult in catching him
– hated having his rugs put on
– extremely sensitive to noise
– flighty
Are just to name a few. We since traveled 5 hours to a GN qualifier for a massive 4 days away and we had a completely different pony. Handled the stress being away and stabled with no turn out time. No more sloppy stools, and back to being the chilled pony he was. I keep the ponies on the maintenance dose to ensure we don’t risk any digestive upset. CEN XtraBalance has also assisted in the ponies hooves to harden and grow much faster than before. We now have beautiful healthy coats which tells me we finally have his gut health sorted. Defiantly a product I cant live without!!
Thank you Bryan and Team for supporting me and providing me with knowledge I now know to ensure my horses are fed the best nutrition for optimal health and performance. A product I can highly recommend knowing the positive results it has on.

I highly recommend this product! I was recommended this product after my horse had colic surgery. He bounced back quicker & stronger then vets and I could’ve ever predicted! I honestly believe the CEN products but mainly the XtraBalance aided him with everything he needed for the best chance of recovery!

Great product, my mare loves it! She was having gut troubles with all the fresh grass around, the team at CEN gave me advice on how to change her diet and help her recover. CF50 has been a great addition to her diet and helped to simplify what I was feeding her. Her tummy is back to normal and she looks amazing all with the help of this and the xtra balance supplement. Thank you for making great, Australian made feed.

XtraBalance helps my horses who are travelling constantly and as such have variation in diet. XtraBalance helps to maintain their gut health. Highly recommend for those who travel or move horses often, or even those who feed variations in hay and chaff.

I started my mare on this product (in combination with CEN oil), and after finishing the tub I have started my other 3 on it as well. It is costly to have 4 horses on the supplement (approx. $2500/year, plus around $1000/year for the oil), but the results I had with the first mare are worth it. Her coat is always commented on and is gleaming, and I have noticed a great improvement in her hoof health. Her hooves used to be somewhat brittle, flaked and cracked easily, and now they are growing out nicely and appear much more sound and strong.

My review on this is
It takes the stress out of the horses guts and takes the stress off me knowing I’m feeding the right supplement.
Big game changer for our horses but amazing for all the ones we get thru with Project Hope Horse Welfare – there guts are often so sensitive that anything can cause further upsets – but not CEN !

Fantastic product. My horse was suffering from greasy heal. I had been treating it for three weeks with little improvement. I tried CEN XtraBalance and after four days it was healed. Also has helped when travelling as he can get loose Poos but not when he is taking CEN XtraBalance. Love this and my horse loves the taste of it!
