A nutritionally complete high protein and nutrient rich feed, formulated to provide balanced nutrition for optimum growth of foals and yearlings, and for aiding the health and fertility of broodmares and stallions.
Its essential amino acid profile and unique blend of vitamins and minerals, supports lean muscles, strong tendons and healthy bones and teeth.
(On an as fed basis)
Rice and rice bran contain protein of high biological value, meaning good availability of amino acids for absorption. Combined with nutritious soybean meal they provide essential amino acids such as lysine which is vital for building muscle, and methionine for healthy skin and coat health and for hoof integrity.
100% Australian wholegrain rice is gluten free and one of the best sources of digestible starch of all cereal grains, providing optimum energy for growth, work and maintenance. Rice based feeds are safer to feed with less risk of digestive upsets, for rice is almost entirely digested in the small intestine, rather than fermented in the hindgut.
Sourced exclusively from Australia, CopRice rice bran oil is full of goodness including natural antioxidants gamma oryzanol and tocopherols, and omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. It is a beneficial energy source that conserves glycogen stores during exercise to delay fatigue and improve stamina, and is great for building topline and muscle definition.
Yeast culture aids fibre digestion and helps enhance the absorption of nutrients in particular the minerals calcium and phosphorus. It assists in re-building the beneficial hindgut’s microflora, aiding a range of digestive issues from poor appetite to intestinal tract damage, and in extreme cases enterocolitis.
A natural occurring mineral-rich clay-like compound which aids digestion and nutrient absorption. Naturally rich in silicon it helps with bone formation, calcification and bone strength, and cartilage development. It also has a high cation exchange capacity, great for capturing and removing toxins from the body.
Calcium and phosphorus are essential for skeletal development, the maintenance of bones and teeth, aiding enzyme regulation and for energy production. Electrolytes including salt, potassium and magnesium, have an important role in balancing body fluids, aiding muscle contraction and maintaining nervous system health.
Micro-nutrients are part of most chemical reactions, helping to activate and mobilise vitamins, minerals, amino and fatty acids, transporting them around the body. Fat soluble vitamins A, D3 and E can benefit calcium absorption, wound healing and cell repair. Water soluble B vitamins are vital for metabolism and energy production.
Pasture, grasses and hay often contain moulds and fungi which produce mycotoxins that can cause respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological issue. Binders capture these toxins in the digestive tract before they are absorbed into the blood stream, removing them through excretion.
