Henry Bell & Co's EQUIGLO Quick Soak 10 Minute Beet® has been awarded the BETA feed assurance mark to help owners identify feeds suitable for horses and ponies prone to EGUS (equine gastric ulcer syndrome).
The feed, made from British-grown, non-GM sugar beet, successfully passed the BETA scheme's stringent, three-stage application process, which includes the examination of ingredients, labelling and marketing claims, and independent laboratory analysis.
EQUIGLO Quick Soak 10 Minute Beet® can now feature on its packaging the distinctive feed approval mark – a red BETA logo with the wording “Suitable for equines prone to gastric ulcers as part of a balanced diet”. The product already carries the BETA NOPS logo, which shows that Henry Bell & Co follows industry best-practice procedures to help minimise the risk of cross-contamination by naturally occurring prohibited substances.
Simon Parker, of Henry Bell & Co, said: “We are thrilled that EQUIGLO has been formally recognised as a fantastic product for horses and ponies that are prone to EGUS. Its admission to BETA's prestigious feed assurance scheme is a huge endorsement of our great value-for-money, quick-soaking beet product and we couldn't be more delighted. The two seals of approval on our packaging are a great way to flag up quality feeds to customers and show our commitment to equine welfare.”
