REDUCED ENERGY FORMULA

Pianissimo is formulated to be a lower energy feed, with lower protein and no oats, which supports focus in hot horses. The mineral and amino acid additives provide a focused, well-centered horse.

LOW PROTEIN

Protein fed in excess of daily requirements cannot be stored in the horse's body. Horses convert protein into muscle mass by eating adequate protein and exercising. If protein synthesis occurs at the maximum rate, the un­used amino acids are broken down and excreted.

BALANCED VITAMINS AND MINERALS SUPPLY

Not only do we use a balanced blend of high quality vi­tamins and minerals, but we are always careful to use the most stable versions. While the vitamins we use are always in the most stable form, the minerals we use are always in the most absorbable form.

OAT FREE

Oats have long been recognized as a source of energy for the horse in work, but for the horse prone to being hot or stressed, a high energy grain with oats can increase his energy and stress levels. An oat free grain can lower his energy level.

The low levels of sugar (3%) and starch (5%) in FiberForce avoid the quick absorption of sugars in the small intestine, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar known to aggravate existing metabolic disorders. This feed is designed to release evenly and slowly throughout the day to help re­duce bursts of insulin in the blood, making it safe for horses prone to lam­initis, ulcers, tying-up, equine polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM) or other muscle disorders.

ENERGY FROM FATS

Horses performing aerobic activity use oxygen to draw energy from fat sources. Fat is an important component for the diet of a horse performing in any endurance sport. It's important to provide the proper amounts of fat in the horse's diet, as research indicates there is little difference between the effectiveness of a diet with 7-8% fat or many of the high fat formulas currently available.

ALFALFA STEMS

The stems of alfalfa are high fiber and can help reduce the acidity in the stomach. The long stems encourage horses to chew, which helps them produce more saliva. Saliva helps buffer acid production in the stomach. Long fibers also help slow the passage of feed through the digestive tract.

PUFFED GRAINS TO IMPROVE DIGESTIBILITY

By puffing grains we are able to improve the starch digestibility in the foregut from an average of 5-50% to 85-90%. This reduces the risk of colic and improves the overall digestibility of the complete feed by 30%, meaning you can feed less.

BALANCED BLEND OF VITAMINS AND MINERALS

Not only do we use a balanced blend of high quality vitamins and miner­als, but we are always careful to use the most stable versions. While the vitamins we use are always in the most stable form, the minerals we use are always in the most absorbable form.

HIGH QUALITY, SAFE STARCH SOURCES

We believe that the quality and source of the starch great­ly impacts digestibility. The sugar and starch content in our feeds come from high quality complex carbohydrates that are highly available to the horse's digestive system and are safely digested as energy before reaching the hindgut.

LOW MOLASSES CONTENT

We handle our ingredients carefully during the manufac­turing process to eliminate all possible dust and we limit the amount of pellets in the feed. This means Cavalor uses molasses only to increase palatibility, rather than using molasses to hide dust.

REPLENISH LOST ELECTROLYTES

Mash & Mix is perfect to give after your horse works to help him replenish his lost electrolytes. Electrolytes (salt + minerals) are produced by the body but take up to 2-3 days for the horse to naturally replenish. Give electrolytes just before and up to an hour after a heavy effort. Because horses can't store them for later use, they must be used right away.

HERBS TO STIMULATE DIGESTION

Horses are designed to be grazing throughout the day, and because modern horses are sometimes stalled, we must help support their consistent digestion throughout the day. Mash & Mix uses a variety of herbs to stimulate the diges­tive tract and increase the palatability of the Mash.

HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE INGREDIENTS

Mash & Mix uses puffed barley and corn. Puffed grains have an improved starch digestibility in the foregut of up to 85- 90%. These grains travel through the stomach and small intestine at a slower rate, allowing the digestive enzymes more time to act on the feed.

DIVERSE PROTEIN SOURCES

We use a variety of protein sources to create a more com­plete amino acids profile. There is protein in barley, wheat, corn flakes, oats and more. A broader amino acids profile is better for the horse's digestive system and conversion into energy.

PUFFED GRAINS FOR INCREASED DIGESTIBILITY

By puffing grains we are able to improve the starch digestibility in the foregut from an average of 5-50% to 85-90%. These grains travel through the stomach and small intestine at a slower rate, allowing the digestive enzymes more time to act on the feed. More nutrients in the feed are released for the horse to absorb while avoiding any rapid releas­es of sugar and starch, which is critical for horses with metabolic issues.

SUGAR AND STARCH FOR EXPLOSIVE ENERGY

Non-structural carbohydrates (including starch and sugar) are broken down and absorbed in the small intestine, and then stored as glycogen in the mus­cles and liver. When a sport horse is asked to per­form short intense efforts, this anaerobic activity will break down glycogen in the muscles into lactic acid. Superforce provides the horse with the energy he needs to perform well during the intensive efforts.

VITAMIN E AND SELENIUM

The combination of extra vitamin E and selenium in Superforce combats the formation of lactic acid and avoids muscle acidification. Sufficient selenium and vitamin E supplementation has been used to prevent muscle disorders (tying-up) in some horses.

FAT AS AN EXTENDED ENERGY SOURCE

Horses performing aerobic activity use oxygen to draw energy from fat sources. Fat is an important component for the diet of a horse performing in any endurance sport. It's important to provide the proper amounts of fat in the horse's diet, although too much fat is not proven to be more effective than a balanced ratio of high quality fat.

Always give Endurix in addition to sufficient hay. Daily amount per animal: for very strenuous exercise -0,800 kg per 100 kg live body weight for normal exertion - 0.700 kg per 100 kg live body weight.
