Nutrition That Stacks Up
PROTEIN
Rice bran contains protein of high biological value, meaning good availability of amino acids for absorption. Rice bran provides essential amino acids such as lysine which is vital for building muscle, and methionine which supports hoof integrity.
CARBOHYDRATE
Rice bran is gluten free, highly digestible and palatable. It is a nutritious feed ingredient rich in natural rice bran oil which provides an excellent source energy. Rice bran’s high oil, digestible fibre and starch content makes it ideal for adding energy without the fizz.
RICE BRAN OIL
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.
FIBRE
Fibre is the most important component of a horse’s diet aside from water. It is digested by bacteria in the hindgut to provide energy. It keeps horses feeling full and absorbs water to maintain hydration and improve endurance. Insufficient fibre can contribute to behavioural problems e.g. acidosis, gastric ulcers and colic.
LINSEED
Linseed also known as flaxseed, is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. It is also a source of high quality protein, vitamins and minerals. Linseed can help improve body condition, joint and ligament health, and may assist in reducing skin allergies and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Rice bran oil is naturally rich in antioxidants gamma oryzanol and tocopherols, which help protect cells against oxidative damage. Antioxidants help strengthen the immune system, assist with the recovery of muscular problems such as ‘tying up’ and may improve reproductive function.
VITAMIN E
Vitamin E is present in cells in the body, helping support immune, cardiovascular, circulatory and neuromuscular functions. Natural vitamin E is a superior form, as it is more stable, has higher retention in the body, and has a much greater bio-availability than the synthetic version.
ORGANIC SELENIUM
The organic form of selenium is incorporated into muscles more effectively and provides better nutrition over inorganic sources. Functioning as a critical component in antioxidant activities, selenium works with vitamin E to provide an effective defence system for cells against oxidative damage.
Feeding Instructions
- Feed a minimum of 1% of your horse’s body weight daily with high quality roughage such as hay, pasture and/or chaff.
- High Joule feed can be fed at a rate of up to 30% of the daily ration e.g. approximately 3kg High Joule feed for a 500kg horse, based on a feed consumption of 2% bodyweight.
- High Joule feed is not a complete feed, it is designed to be fed in conjunction with other ration ingredients.
- Ensure horses always have access to clean, cool and fresh water.
Suggested feeding rates to be used as a guide only. The amount of feed required will depend on the quality of the pasture/forage, exercise intensity, dentition, metabolism and condition of the horse.
