"(nutritionally) balanced" feeds
as opposed to "straight" animal feed such as hay -- the "balanceados" would obviously be more expensive.
A protein source, such as soybean meal or cottonseed meal is usually added to the grain ration, along with vitamins and minerals to make a 100 percent ***nutritionally-balanced feed***. Unbalanced grain rations can lead to a variety of health concerns.

processed feeds / feed preparations
In Paraguayan sources "balanceados" is contrasted with "forrajes" or "alimentos naturales".

Los balanceados para animales constituyen mezclas de distintos ingredientes, que pueden ser de origen animal o vegetal, incluyendo componentes minerales. Son preparadas específicamente para los requisitos alimentarios de cada especie animal; los balanceados más avanzados también hacen distinción entre diferentes edades, razas y circunstancias específicas (como alto rendimiento físico del animal, dieta o crecimiento del animal)."

"Balanceado" can mean "balanced", but it doesn't mean that here, except in the indirect sense that processed or artificial feed is nutritionally "balanced".

Clearly "balanceado" does mean balanced, in this case nutritionally balanced, and it is used adjectivally in this sense, as in "alimento balanceado". And that's obviously the origin of the word "balanceados". But it's not the appropriate translation here, because in Paraguay "balanceados" is used as a noun to mean simplemente "processed feed", as a synonym of "pienso". The term is of course derived from the idea of "balanced feed", and in English the term "balanced feeds" is used when you want to draw attention to the nutritional balance, but we don't use that term, as the Paraguayans use "balanceados", to mean any processed feed preparation for animals. I think it would be unnatural to talk about the "balanced feed" section in the supermarket; we'd just say "pet food". The fact that it is balanced is taken for granted.
