Saracen Equi-Jewel Pellets 20kg
Equi-Jewel is a pelleted high oil rice bran supplement, designed to increase the energy density (calories) of a ration. It is a stabilised rice bran that can be top-dressed onto any ration for extra energy density, to build body condition and provide additional mineral support.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Non-heating calories
- High oil levels for improved stamina, weight gain and coat condition
- Includes BMC® (Buffered Mineral Complex) providing gastric health and bone support with a superior calcium source
- Provides outstanding coat gloss & skin condition
- Glycogen sparing effect provided by an alternative carbohydrate source
- Calorie density helps to keep meal sizes small
- Low in starch reducing the reliance on starch in the diet
It can be added to boost calorie intake, or to replace part of the ration to reduce concentrate consumption, so can be a good way to encourage picky eaters. The high oil (18%) and fibre levels are naturally occurring, making it very compatible for use alongside all of the other feeds in the Saracen breeding range.
During sales prep, adding another form of supplemental fat to the diet can often be of benefit, both for the effect on the horse's coat and for an additional boost in concentrated energy. Equi-Jewel helps to give sales horses a sleek, well-toned look and an athletic outline.
It is very effective at adding condition, and building muscle and topline, making it ideal for lactating mares (older mares can be particularly susceptible to weight loss) and for over-active or anxious stallions during the breeding season.
Equi-Jewel is specifically designed to nutritionally support thoroughbreds by providing a highly palatable form of additional calories and protein, and the additional benefits of KER's BMC® (Buffered Mineral Complex).
The oil in Equi-Jewel is highly digestible, and is equally as digestible as corn oil, but in a more palatable, pelleted form. 500 grams of Equi-Jewel contains the same amount of energy as 250 millilitres (1/2 pint) of liquid oil.
