ENERGY, WEIGT GAIN & MUSCLE SUPPORT
Adds calories to a ration to avoid excessive grain intake
Horses in various life stages can benefit from the calories afforded in Equi-Jewel. This product may be particularly useful for intensely worked performance horses, lactating mares, hard keepers, and aged horses because these horses typically have energy requirements above those of ordinary horses.
Fat contains more than two times the energy that carbohydrates and proteins do, thereby fueling horses more efficiently. Fat is considered a “cool” feedstuff because it does not cause the hormone spikes that lead to excitability.
A little bit of Equi-Jewel goes a long way and decreases the amount of starchy concentrates (grains) you have to feed. This reduces the risk of colic and laminitis resulting from grain overload.
The pellet allows for quick mixing with a concentrate and makes it more difficult for horses to sort the pellets from other components of a concentrate.
NB. Equi-Jewel is an excellent source of energy for horses struggling with RER (tying up) and PSSM.
INGREDIENTS
Stabilized rice bran, calcium carbonate.
