Level-Grow™ Mix uses a unique blend of ingredients for alternative energy sources that produce a minimal glycemic response after digestion. Consequently, after weaning, Level-Grow™ would be the sole concentrate given to young, growing horses up to the age of three to promote normal growth patterns and more manageable behaviour.
As the glycemic response of horses can be affected by the way their feed is formulated, using oil and fibre for energy rather than starch and sugar makes Level-Grow™ a 'softer', more forgiving feed. Backward foals can cope with the feed without compromising an immature skeleton, and mares that tend to carry too much condition during gestation respond well if they are maintained on Level-Grow™. The higher fibre levels suit larger mares that are inclined to get too heavy throughout pregnancy, and make it easier to control her bodyweight, particularly approaching foaling.
Stamm 30® a Stud Balancer formulated by Kentucky Equine Research is included in the Level-Grow™ formulations for nutrient continuity.
Designed to be fed like a conventional stud feed, Level-Grow™ is available in a mix or pencil form.
800 - 900g/100kg bodyweight per day in conjunction with free access to forage.*
*Always try to feed a minimum of 1.5% of bodyweight as good quality forage. e.g. 500kg horse would eat 7.5kg of hay per day. Feeding levels will depend on the horse's age, size and body condition.
Using Stamm 30® together with Level-Grow allows energy levels to be reduced, as required, whilst guaranteeing the correct macro-and micronutrient supplementation. If fed at 3.64 kg (8 lbs) per day, no additional Stamm 30 is required – when feeding less, add 0.5 kg (1 lb) Stamm 30.

Saracen Horse Feeds Ltd. has always been dedicated to producing nutritionally sound, innovative formulas and providing customers with accessible personal service. These commitments led Saracen to Kentucky Equine Research (KER), founded by Dr. Joe Pagan Ph.D. in 1988.
Saracen is the exclusive Kentucky Equine Research (KER) Team Member in the UK.
KER is the most prolific independent equine research center in the world, entirely committed to the advancement of breeding and athletic performance through nutrition. The aim at KER is to enhance the understanding of equine nutrition and exercise physiology, and apply this knowledge to produce healthier, more athletic horses. From its headquarters in Central Kentucky, KER conducts extensive research, and each research trial is designed to improve the health and wellbeing of horses by targeting specific problems, and finding nutritional solutions.
The collaboration has given Saracen the chance to consistently provide nutritional solutions with unique, progressive feeds that can make a real difference, along with the science to support them. RE-LEVE®, Level-Grow™ and Super Fibre Pencils are good examples of concept feeds that have been produced as joint projects.
