12.0% Crude Protein

6.0% Crude Fat

20.5% Max Crude Fiber

12.5% Max NSC (Starch & Sugar)

Buckeye Nutrition® SAFE 'N EASY™ Pelleted Feed is a controlled starch-and-sugar (12.5% maximum NSC: 9.8% max starch, 2.7% max sugar), no-corn, no-molasses pelleted ration designed to support stable blood sugar concentrations in mature horses and ponies. Instead of relying on high-starch cereal grains, SAFE 'N EASY™ Pelleted utilizes highly digestible fiber (20.5% max crude fiber) and vegetable oil (6% crude fat) for calm, steady energy.

Delivering 12% crude protein and full GRO 'N WIN™ fortification—including essential amino acids, chelated trace minerals, and Vitamin E—SAFE 'N EASY™ Pelleted is ideal for carbohydrate-sensitive horses, easy keepers in light to moderate work, and horses requiring a low-NSC daily feed.

Controlled 12.5% Max NSC Formula: Guaranteed maximum 9.80% starch and 2.70% sugar to help support stable blood glucose and insulin levels.
No-Corn, No-Molasses Recipe: Fuels horses with digestible super fibers (soybean hulls, alfalfa, beet pulp) and vegetable oil rather than high-starch grains.
Fortified with GRO 'N WIN™: Supplies 12.00% protein, 0.65% Lysine, 0.40% Magnesium, 150 IU/lb Vitamin E, and chelated trace minerals.
Versatile Pelleted Nutrition: Ideal for mature horses and ponies in idle to moderate work or those with carbohydrate sensitivities.
100% Equine-Focused & Med-Free Facility: Manufactured in Dalton, Ohio with 100% traceable, pure ingredients.
