Prep Mix has been specifically developed for growing foals and youngstock which are being prepared for the sales or show ring. It offers a highly palatable all-in-one solution to promoting superb condition, muscle tone and top line whilst providing all the essential nutrients to support growth. The mix is oat-free with a super fibres and oil for slow release energy with the balance of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids helping to bring a head-turning shine to the coat. The mix is nutrient dense so a smaller volume delivers the required energy and supporting nutrients without the risk of overloading the digestive system. Small frequent, digestible meals are key to reducing excessive glycaemic response and avoiding starch overload.Being non-heating and highly digestible, Prep Mix helps avoid exacerbating excitable temperaments and contains Yea Sacc1026 to stimulate fibre digesting bacteria and promote overall gut health. This is particularly beneficial at times of stress such as weaning and travelling as well as attending shows and sales.

FEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS
- The following table suggests quantities of
Prep Mix to be fed in pounds and
kilogrammes per day when feeding
ad lib good quality forage. - It is designed as a basic guide and quantities should be
adjusted according to individual requirements. - Quantities are based on the “anticipated mature bodyweight” of
the youngster or actual bodyweight of the adult horse. The
actual/estimated bodyweights of a youngster’s dam and/or sire
are a good basis from which to estimate the “anticipated mature
bodyweight” ie. the bodyweight you believe the youngster will
attain as an adult. - To reduce calorie intake whilst maintaining essential nutrient
levels, Prep Mix may be fed at less than the recommended
levels and the diet topped up with Stud balancer. Every
1.4kg/3lb of Prep Mix removed from the diet should be
replaced with 0.45kg/1lb (two coffee mugs) of Stud
Balancer. - Recommended feeding levels in the table assume average to
good quality hay/haylage is fed to appetite. - Horses with access to quality grazing can have levels reduced
by 0.7kg (11/2lbs) a day.
