Sunflower Seed 20KG (For Horses and Hook Beaked Birds)

For HORSES:

Sunflower seeds have become commonplace in feed rooms. They are a rich source of fat that may promote skin health, a shiny coat, and perhaps even weight gain in horses.

Are all sunflower seeds the same? Of course not. Classic sunflower seeds, like those consumed at sporting events and used in the bakery industry, are non-oil seeds that aren’t typically fed to horses. Black oil sunflower seeds, are more commonly fed to horses due to their higher oil content, better digestibility, and lower cost. Black oil Sunflower seeds have thinner hulls that are held more tightly to the kernel when compared to the thicker, non-oil seeds. Thinner hulls make Black oil sunflower seeds easier for horses to chew and digest.

Are sunflower seeds safe for horses? The answer is yes, although ideal feeding rates have not been studied. Small amounts (2-4 oz/day, about 56-133 grams) are typically consumed by horses without complications and can provide some supplemental calories. Black oil sunflower seeds are even included as an ingredient in some commercial horse feeds.

Black Oil Sunflower Seeds contain 40-50% oil and are rich in omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids are important for the inflammatory immune response and for cell integrity, the latter of which may support skin health. Because modern diets, especially those that contain concentrates, tend to be already high in omega-6s, the addition of omega-3s will help bring the balance of omegas into desirable proportion. To keep the omega-6 and omega-3 ratio in balance, an uptick in beneficial omega-3 fatty acids can be achieved through the addition of fish oil, like EO-3, to the diet. EO-3 contains direct sources of DHA and EPA, two important omega-3s.

The additional fat may help improve coat condition. In addition, sunflower oil is a rich source of vitamin E, a potent antioxidant. For horses that are not allowed to graze fresh pasture, it is always best to supplement with a natural-source vitamin E product, like Nano-E.

While Black oil sunflower seeds contain a considerable amount of protein, they are low in the essential amino acid lysine, which is necessary for growth. Therefore, Black sunflower seeds is a valued supplement but should not be the main dietary protein source.

Black oil sunflower seeds has become popular for supporting shiny coats and overall condition. In moderation, Black oil sunflower seeds can be a supplemental part of a balanced diet for the horse.

Glucosamine for horses and dogs in a quality ultra-pure form is a great starting point for healthy joints! provides the nutritional building blocks for healthy joint cartilage.

Our premium high quality, bio-available, Glucosamine is manufactured under ISO 9001 systems (accredited quality system) and is sold in an air-tight foil pack to keep it fresh and ready to administer directly.

Glucosamine for horses and dogs offering premium high quality and purity powder.

Certified ultra-pure, 99.9% Glucosamine Sulphate tested to USP, the highest pharmaceutical grade with no fillers or other additives.

Glucosamine Sulphate or Glucosamine Hydrochloride? which is best to use?

Glucosamine Sulphate is the preferred form of Glucosamine over Hydrochloride as most clinical studies have used the sulphate version.

However, the body uses both the same way, where the stomach acid splits Glucosamine from the (Hydrochloride or Sulphate) molecule to free glucosamine that can be used by the body.

What does Glucosamine do for joints?

Glucosamine benefits joints for horses and dogs by providing nutritional building blocks and nutrition for healthy joint cartilage and synovial fluids.

Therefore, maintains healthy joint cartilage in horses and canines alike.

The ends of equine and canine joints are coated in articular cartilage which cushions joint surfaces and prevents the friction of the two bones coming into contact, this cartilage must therefore stay healthy, hydrated and nourished to remain durable and resilient.

Cartilage gets its nourishment from the synovial fluid by way of glycosaminoglycans, these of which are best known as glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate.

By supplying these in your horses or dogs feed the body can therefore utilize in order to maintain healthy joints.

Do I need MSM with Glucosamine?

Glucosamine is beneficial and recommended in conjunction with MSM to further protect joints by providing a counter effect to inflammation where it helps to reduce inflammatory markers.

What is the dose of Glucosamine for horses and dogs?

Horse dose per 500 Kg bodyweight:  10,000 mg – 12,000 mg     High dose: 15,000 mg

VetPro Equine Athletes Muscle Max

Muscle Max is a feed supplement formulated to maximise the efficiency of muscle metabolism. It does this in two ways, by improving lean muscle mass and by reducing the effects of post exercise muscle fatigue. A large part of the daily energy requirement of the equine athlete is used by the skeletal muscles to power the contractions that give the horse its attributes of speed, endurance and strength.

The energy from feed is stockpiled in the muscles in the form of glycogen. Through a chain of biochemical reactions within the muscle cells, the glycogen is oxidised to release Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) the chemical energy source used to power the muscle cells. The oxidation process requires large amounts of oxygen, hence the need for an efficient blood supply.

The waste products from this energy burning process include water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, lactic acid and free radicals, all of which have the potential to reduce muscular efficiency. Free radicals can cause serious damage to the muscle cell membrane. It is these free radicals, in conjunction with the waste ammonia and lactic acid, that many equine sport scientists believe are responsible for muscle fatigue and post exercise muscle soreness.

Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to inactivate the free radicals within the cell. There are many nutritional antioxidants, mostly found in plants. Muscle-Max is an antioxidant supplement that contains stabilised rice-bran. Rice bran is a rich source of glycerides, free fatty acids, phospholipids and glycolipids. Its principle antioxidants are the tocopherals, tocotrienols and gamma oryzanol, as well as inositol, phytic acid and choline. Vitamin E is one of the Tocopherols found in Muscle-Max, but it is the tocotrienols that are 50 times more potent than Vitamin E, that makes rice branl such a potent antioxidant formulation.

Gamma Oryzanol is a natural component of rice bran and as well as acting as an antioxidant, it has also been shown to reduce muscle fatigue and improve appetite.

Muscle Max also contains chromium picolinate, which is  is not an antioxidant but is an active chromium salt used as a natural nutritional supplement. Supplementing horses with low levels ensures sufficient chromium is available to the horse to ensure it can maintain muscle homeostasis.

In summary Muscle-Max combines the antioxidant properties of stabilised rice bran and along with chromium picolinate helps to reduce muscle fatigue and post exercise muscle damage. It is a 100% natural product that can be used right up to and during competition. It is formulated with an apple flavour that horses find palatable.

Equine Athlete Quicklyte Paste ea

• Equine Athlete QUICKLYTE PASTE Contains electrolytes & chelated minerals for fast replacement of loss from sweat. Ideal for pre & post race or competition

Quick-lyte paste is a combination of electrolytes and chelated minerals formulated in a single dose syringe. One 30ml dose syringe replaces the electrolytes lost in 2 litres of sweat. Because the electrolytes in Quick-lyte are present in a highly absorbable form, they are rapidly absorbed from the horse’s stomach. Quick-lyte uses a patented carrier that ensures the stability of the electrolytes and minerals during storage and also gives the product its free-flow properties that make it easy to use. After taking Quick-lyte, horses have a strong desire to drink so it is important that fresh drinking water is made available. This makes Quick-lyte ideal to use before and after long float trips. How often do you hear of horses who won’t drink when they travel away from home? Quicklyte will trigger a response to drink and often then to eat.

Dunstan Staggers Nuggets 10Kg

Available via Pre Order

Dunstan Staggers Nuggets are a low intake, extruded nugget containing toxin binders. It contains two forms of toxin binder, a yeast based binder in CitriStim® MOSand clay-based binder in Zeolite.

Mycotoxin binders aim to bind the Mycotoxins a horse ingests, thereby rendering them inactive and having them pass through the digestive system. Excreting the mycotoxins before they are absorbed in the horse’s bloodstream avoids their undesirable side effects.

Whilst the use of mycotoxin binders, specifically for Dunstan Grass Staggers, has not yet been subject to full scientific evaluation, anecdotal evidence from current and past users suggest strongly, a marked effect in helping to minimize this risk and justifies its inclusion in the diet of horses exposed to pasture endophytes.

Equine Safe

Dunstan Horsefeeds are produced in Equine-Safe manufacturing plants, ensuring a product of premium quality, safety and performance.
