The inclusion of 'Super-Fibres' and oil provide controlled energy release and support a healthy digestive system whilst providing the ultimate Saracen shine.
The calorie dense cube also contains Equi-Jewel®, a high-fat supplement that supports low feeding rates whilst supporting optimum condition and topline development. Equi-Jewel® also provides a very effective source of essential fatty acids in the ration to support stunning skin and coat condition.
Quality protein sources in the ration ensure the provision of key amino acids (Lysine, Methionine and Threonine) to support muscle development and recovery pre and post-training.
Condition-Improver Cubes provide a balanced diet and a fully fortified with a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals including vitamin E and a spectrum of B vitamins for energy production, performance, recovery and immune status, particularly for horses and ponies participating in busy training and competition schedules or with reduced access to pasture. The cubes also contain a live yeast to maintain microbial health, activity, diversity and function, which therefore helps to optimise fibre and feed digestion.
The non-heating cube is ideal for horses and ponies that are prone to weight loss or find it more difficult to maintain optimum weight and body condition as well as young horses at the beginning of their training to help build muscle and topline.
