Unika has developed a completely new product that revolutionizes the concept of complementary feed: Unika Balls are much more than just a pastime for horses. Unika Balls are spheres with a natural fiber cord that can be hung in the stall or trailer for the horse to enjoy all day long. They not only distract the horse but also add important substances such as medicinal plants, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, and much more to its daily diet in a completely new way. We are used to thinking of complementary feed as a powder or liquid added to the daily feed ration in the manger. Unika Balls now offer a new way to provide supplements hanging as entertainment for the horse.
Unika Balls are available in 5 different variants and thus meet all arising needs of the horse:
Unika Balls – Elyte: for the nutritional supply of mineral salts, which is necessary all year round to replenish the amount the horse loses through sweating.
Unika Balls – Gastro: for all horses with sensitive stomachs. It contains important plant-based ingredients such as charcoal and liquorice, which promote stomach well-being. Unika Balls Gastro is a valuable ally for horses whose anxiety and stress affect their stomach, as it stimulates the production of alkaline saliva, thereby naturally counteracting stomach acid.
Unika Balls – Herbs: formulated with a mixture of herbal plants such as thyme, rosemary, and mint.
Unika Balls – Prequalm: formulated with magnesium, passionflower, and lemon balm, ideal for horses that need more calm and need to manage their emotions better.
Unika Balls have other important properties: They are handcrafted in Italy, made from plant-based ingredients, are grain- and sugar-free, and rich in noble raw materials such as soy and rice. This is precisely why they are also suitable for horses with grain intolerance, for horse nutrition with a low glycemic index, and for competition horses that perform a lot of muscle work and for whom sugar intake is not recommended, as this promotes lactic acid formation.
Since every organism is unique, new sole and complementary feeds should be introduced gradually into the horse's diet and tested first.
