Harwood Grains Equine Feed Range
Performer
Performer is a pelleted feed specifically formulated to meet the increased nutritional requirements of your performance horse. It is prepared with highly digestible fibres, quality high fat ingredients and a moderate starch level to meet higher energy demands. Performer also includes our scientifically formulated GastroPak to help protect against gastric ulcers and promote digestive health.
Performer contains controlled sugar and starch (NSC) levels (20% maximum) to support the advanced energy needs of performance horses. Performer harnesses the power of ‘super fibres’, which are highly fermentable fibres that are broken down by the microbes in your horse's gut to produce energy in the form of molecules called Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs). VFAs can contribute up to 70% of your horse’s energy requirements and are slow release, providing a sustained source of energy to keep your horse performing at their best.
It is no secret that performance horses have a very high risk for digestive issues such as gastric ulcers and hindgut acidosis with an estimated 95% of performance horses having gastric ulcers. This is why we have included our scientifically formulated Gastropak in Performer. Gastropak contains high-quality, natural ingredients including a gastric buffer made from sustainably sourced plant-based marine minerals and Diamond V XPC postbiotics to support hindgut health. Gastropak helps your horse’s gastrointestinal tract defend against issues like gastric ulcers and hindgut acidosis to keep your horse happy, healthy and performing at their best.
Performer also contains high-quality protein sources and added amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are essential in your horse’s diet. Performer supplies biologically appropriate levels of protein and amino acids to support muscle development, including topline development.
