“Precisely textured feed for performance.” Low-starch ingredients, fat, fermentable fiber and exclusive extruded nuggets — with shredded beet pulp built into the bag, so the fiber comes with the feed.
Sentinel Extruded Textured
For horses — and horse people — that want a textured feed, this is the textured feed done the Sentinel way: “a complete line of specialized textured feeds which combine low-starch ingredients with fat, fermentable fiber, and exclusive extruded nuggets.” Shredded beet pulp is built into the bag, so the fiber comes with the feed instead of being soaked in a separate bucket.
The beet pulp, soybean hulls and alfalfa meal “may help maintain healthy hindgut fermentation while providing extra calories in a safe and natural form” — performance calories without the starch load of a classic sweet feed, with gutWise™ and NutriVantage® carried in the extruded nuggets.
Formerly known as Sentinel XT. Kent dropped the XT name — the line is now simply Sentinel Extruded Textured, just like the ribbon under the shield on every bag. Same line, same formulas.
