NutriRice #3 Stamina & Performance

For horses involved in intense work, including those training and competing in endurance racing, 3-day eventing, camp drafting, polo and other high level equestrian competition. This feed can be mixed with other NutriRice feeds prior to or after periods of more strenuous exercise when an increasing or declining plane of nutrition is required.

Description

A scientifically formulated and nutritionally balanced steam extruded complete feed based largely on rice bran and rice. Manufactured from and fortified with only the highest quality ingredients, vitamins and minerals specifically for horses in intensive activity.

The energy in this feed is derived from various sources including fats, digestible fibre and starch, to provide your horse with sustained energy release during aerobic exercise. This product has a high fat level and unique polyunsaturated fatty acids that produce coat shine and bloom.

The combination of rice bran and rice as the principal ingredients plus the extrusion cooking means that this feed is extremely palatable and digestible. As it is so digestible and being based on rice bran, it is an extremely cool feed and will not heat horses when fed in accordance with directions.

Contains 9.0% rice bran oil, naturally occurring in the rice bran, which is the equivalent of 100 ml of rice bran oil per 1 kg. An average feed of 3 kg contains over 300 mls of rice bran oil, which means that there is no need to add additional oil supplements.

Feeding Rates

This feed is designed to be fed as a complete feed to horses in intense work and has been formulated to be fed in conjunction with high quality pasture or pasture hay. If poor quality pasture or pasture hay is being fed, lucerne hay or chaff may be included in the diet at a rate of 1 - 2 kg/horse/day.

These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. The quantity individual horses require will depend on the quality of your pasture/hay, stage of training, intensity of exercise and body condition of your horse.

Notes

• Weigh your horse or use a “CopRice Horse Weight Estimator” (available from your CopRice produce merchant or feed retailer) to gain an accurate estimate of your horses weight prior to feeding to ensure correct feeding rates.
• Always ensure that horses have access to cool, clean drinking water and a plain salt lick at all times.
• Electrolyte replacement therapy may be required following strenuous exercise and excessive sweating.
• Consult with your nutritionist or veterinarian prior to including any additional supplements in the diet.
• NutriRice #3 Stamina & Performance should be incorporated into the diet gradually over a period of 14 - 21 days.
• These feeding rates are intended as a guide only. The quantity individual horses require will depend on the quality of your pasture/hay, stage of training, intensity of exercise and body condition of your horse.
• NutriRice #3 Stamina & Performance should be fed in conjunction with good quality pasture or pasture hay. If lucerne hay or chaff is to be used, no more than 1 - 2 kg of lucerne hay or chaff should be fed per horse per day with the remainder of the roughage requirements satisfied using pasture hay. The feeding of excessive lucerne hay or chaff may increase urine volume and water requirements, which is undesirable for horses undertaking endurance type activities.
• It is recommended that feed be weighed prior to feeding to ensure that over feeding or underfeeding doesn’t occur.
