Canola Oil
Canola oil, which is a good source of Omega fatty acids, imparts an attractive sheen to a horse’s coat, and are necessary for many biological functions. They also aid in the absorption and storage of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Oat Free
Equus Mare & Foal does not contain oats or oat byproducts.
Organic Chromium
Research has shown beneficial responses to supplementing diets with organic chromium where high stress, strenuous activity is performed.
Amylase
Equus Mare & Foal contains added Amylase to aid starch digestion in the small intestine naturally, effectively and safely.
Amylase is a natural protein enzyme that is responsible for efficient starch digestion in the small intestine.
Horses do not produce adequate Amylase necessary for the digestion of large amounts of starch, this is why they have more problems digesting starch compared to other grain eating animals.
Lack of Amylase can result in incomplete starch digestion in the small intestine. This can result in excessive undigested starch reaching the large intestine where it is fermented producing lactic acid.
Excessive lactic acid can cause serious problems such as caecal acidosis which can lead to colic, laminitis, diarrhoea and poor fibre digestion.
Energy & Coolness Rating System
The innovative "ENERGY & COOLNESS" rating system is designed to make it easier to understand the differences in the energy and coolness of the various foods in the Equus Range. Energy and coolness are both rated on a scale of one to six. A rating of six for energy indicates the energy level of that food is very high and a rating of six for coolness indicates that particular food is very cool.

These levels are a guide only, each horse will have a different requirement that will need fine tuning on an individual basis. Due to the nature of a horse’s digestive system, it is recommended that not more than approximately 0.8% of body weight (3.6 kg for a 450 kg horse) of Equus Mare & Foal be fed in a single meal. Introduce new feeds gradually and slowly increase the amount fed until the desired level is reached. Be careful not to over feed or make sudden changes in diet as digestive problems may occur. If problems occur, substantially reduce (or cease) the amount of Equus Mare & Foal being fed and increase the roughage portion until normal digestive activity returns. |
