Refreshingly Effective! New from Baileys Horse Feeds, No.17 Top Line
Conditioning Mix has been developed for those horse owners who need a
non-heating feed to put weight and condition on their horses and ponies and who
prefer to feed a coarse mix.
|
Top Line Conditioning Mix is a
highly digestible blend of micronised grains, oils and fibre and is fully
balanced so can be fed as the only concentrate source. Alfalfa and soya provide
quality protein for muscle development and function whilst optimum levels of
vitamins and chelated mineral are included for a healthy coat, hooves and
immune system.
A yeast culture is also included, whose benefits
to hind gut function are now widely recognised. Poor-doers may be prone to
loose droppings as a result of food passing through too quickly with fewer
nutrients being absorbed. Improving hind gut function and, therefore, fibre
digestion can slow the overall passage of feed through the system thus allowing
more nutrients to be taken up along the way. |
Horses have been found to be particularly
good digesters of oil which is an ideal energy source for increased
stamina, says Liz Bulbrook, Senior Nutritionist at Baileys. Its
inclusion in Top Line Conditioning Mix means that the calorie content of the
ration can be increased without significant increases in the volume, at the
same time avoiding the feeding of excessive levels of starch. So its
perfect for horses with limited appetites or those requiring high levels of
energy for competition, without the heating effects of oat-based performance
mixes.
Our extensive trials have
highlighted major benefits such as the fact that it is non-heating, and that,
unlike many other weight gain or conditioning mixes, it
doesnt have to be fed in vast quantities to make a difference. One trial
member commented that it was refreshing to find a product that
really is so effective says Liz. We liked the sound of
that!!
Baileys No.17 Top Line Conditioning Mix is
available from the end of February in 20kg bags.
