Why are these things so hard to find?? It should be on the product label or on their website but no. The older threads did not contain this food. I’m an Ultium Competition girl but my barn uses this.
Nobody puts that info on their sites or bags.
Mostly you have to call the company.
But nowadays, enough people have asked, on forums like this, and enough people have called the companies, that almost always, a google search on the feed and calories (ie purina impact calories) will get you the info 
Purina Impact product NCS % Kcal/lb
Impact Sweet 12% 36 1400
Impact Pellet 14% 33 1400
Impact 12:6 Lysine 33 1450
I wouldn’t touch any of those. The middle number is the NSC :eek:
Wow. I vaguely remember the NSC being high for this line but didn’t realize it was that high!
I wouldn’t touch any of them either. :no:

Why do people feed something that has such a high NSC value?

- They don’t know better
- They feed a small enough amount that the nsc doesn’t matter. Some horses do need more energy from different sources and it’s not just a straight calorie count.

That’s exactly what I said as I read JB’s post.
Though, I have to say that I was completely uneducated on NSC until about 2004, when we got a pony that was “prone to founder”, and I asked my vet what best to feed him. I now feed all of my horses low/er NSC feeds. But for eons, sweet feed mixes were the go-to food - way before pelleted complete foods were the norm. I’m so old I can remember when the feed store had 4 options for horses - bran, oats, rolled oats and sweet feeds (in different %s).
So I added comment to this older thread which has to do with this thread. We are changing barns/feed.
