Racehorse Cubes – What’s in the Bag?

Racehorse Cubes are made using a blend of grains, lupins and fibre sources. Horses in full work at a high level, need energy from a range of sources to fuel the different metabolic processes in their body.

Our key ingredients include:

Barley

• Barley is an energy-dense feed source for horses, with a good amount of protein. It needs to be processed before feeding, and our milling process cooks and optimises the nutrient availability in the grain to make it easily digestible.
• Barley is considered to support conditioning and weight gain in horses.
• Barley provides fast-release energy, primarily from starch, which is essential for horses doing fast-paced work.

 Oats

• Oats are a good source of fast-release energy for performance horses.
• The form of starch in oats is highly digestible, making it an efficient source of energy.
• Oats are high in fibre, and the lowest starch and sugar of all the grains

 Lupins

• Lupins are a legume, and are a cool, slow-release source of energy and protein
• Lupins are low in starch and sugar
• Lupins are high in fibre and have a good amount of pectins which feed the healthy bacteria in the gut.

Lucerne

• Lucerne is a legume forage that is highly nutritious and a quality source of protein and fibre
• It is high in essential amino acids and calcium
• Lucerne is generally low in starch and sugar

Mill Mix

• Mill Mix is created during wheat milling, and is a high fibre, high protein but controlled starch ingredient, with a much lower starch content than bran.
• It is highly palatable and digestible
