Digestible Energy Digestible energy provides an estimate of the usable calorie content of a feed commonly expressed as megacalories per kilogram or pound (Mcal/kg or lb). Palmitic acid Palmitic acid (C16:0) is a saturated long-chain fatty acid found in plants and animals. It has a chemical structure of 16 carbon atoms with no double bonds. Menadione (Vitamin K3) Vitamin K is a cofactor for enzymes involved in blood clotting. It also supports healthy blood vessels and bone health. Acid Detergent Insoluble Protein (ADIP) ADIP is the amount of protein that is bound to the ADF (insoluble fiber) fraction. Subtract this value from crude protein to determine available protein.

Introduce gradually for fussy feeders. Maintenance levels may be adjusted to suit the individual and are not necessarily related to bodyweight. Vitamin A Vitamin A (retinol) is made from the precursor beta-carotene. It is important for vision, reproductive health in mares and for maintaining immune function. Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) Neutral Detergent Fiber is a measure of insoluble fiber and includes lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. NDF is inversely correlated with feed intake. Manganese Manganese is crucial for bone formation and antioxidant protection. It is also involved in maintaining healthy joints and supports the production of chondroitin sulfate.

Histidine Histidine is incorporated into various proteins. It is also converted into histamine, which is important for the immune system, and carnosine. Give a higher loading rate initially, then lower to a maintenance rate. The maintenance rate can be adjusted to suit your individual mare & isn't necessarily related to bodyweight. This non-magnesium supplement contains wheatgerm extract, which helps with challenging oestrus-associated behaviour. It also has added B vitamins and natural botanical extracts to support healthy maintenance of the nervous system. Neutral Detergent Insoluble Protein (NDIP) NDIP is the amount of protein that is bound to the NDF (neutral detergent fiber) fraction. It is not digestible by the horse. Linoleic acid Linoleic acid (C18:2) is a polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acid. It is an omega-6 fatty acid because it has a final carbon double bond in the sixth position.

Iron Iron is a component of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.

Magnesium Magnesium acts as a cofactor for over 300 metabolic processes. It is important for muscle and nerve function, bone health, mood regulation and energy production. Valine Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that is needed for proper muscle contractions. It can also be used to make glucose for energy. The Oestress Liquid is made using herbal extracts that have supported hormone balance for hundreds of years. It also contains bio-available magnesium, which helps relax muscles and has a calming effect on the horse, and is full of natural antioxidants to support a healthy horses. Designed to be fed daily throughout the spring and summer, Oestress is suitable for year round use if needed.

Elaidic acid Elaidic acid (C18:1T) is an unsaturated trans fatty acid. It has 18 carbon atoms and a double bond in trans configuartion (between carbons 9 and 10). Analytical Constituents: Crude protein 0.8% Crude fat 0.3% Crude ash 2.4% Crude fibre 0.1% Moisture 89.4% Sodium 0.03% A herbal extract that supports the hormonal balance in sensitive and moody mares by helping to regulate the hormonal cycle.

This supplement contains micronutrients that help to balance hormones, contribute to relieving muscle tension and support a calm mare. Feed whenever seasonal behavioural changes and tension are seen in mares which can affect temperament and performance.

Vitamin E Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that must be provided by the horse's diet. It is found in fresh grasses, but rapidly degrades in cut hay. A bespoke formulation for hormonal support would include calming herbs such as milk thistle and chamomile, and can be refined to reflect the mare’s response.Lysine Lysine is typically considered the first limiting amino acid in equine diets. It is involved in immune function, metabolism, and making collagen and elastin. Methionine Methionine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is important for making keratin - a protein in hooves and hair.
