Research & Development

We are committed to developing new products and improving our formulas on an on-going basis. We work closely with vets and universities to bring the latest in nutritional technology to our products, and to you our customers.

Fresh from the field

All our feeds are based on whole grains which are important for the health of the horse. We choose only the finest ingredients including oats, barley, maize, soya beans and Irish grass meal for a naturally balanced feed.

Cooked to perfection

Our cooking system increases nutritional value, palatability and digestibility for the horse. Our cereals are cooked up to a gelatinization of 84% which we test to ensure maximum nutrient absorption in the horse.. The cooking methods are:- Steam Cooking: Each of the grains are steam cooked for an average of one hour to produce a naturally delicious and highly digestible flake, for maximum performance and condition of the horse. Double Pelleting: Using a blend of quality whole grains we produce a double cooked pellet that is highly digestible and dust-free, for maximum performance and condition of the horse. Extruding : We use soya beans for their complimentary amino acid profile and oils. Our soya is extruded to improve the quality and digestibility by removing trypsin inhibitor, an anti-nutritional factor that is naturally found in soya beans.

Mixing

We mix our quality ingredients to suit the needs of the horse, providing a range of natural energy and protein sources. We use sugar cane molasses and soya oil for dust free feeds that are highly palatable.

Quality Control

Our on site laboratory is a key part in delivering feed of outstanding quality every day. All of our ingredients are tested from harvest to final product, and we use the latest technology including LCMSMS to test for any naturally occurring prohibited substances down to a level of parts per billion.
