A low-starch feed helps minimise the negative effect of insulin on joint and cartilage development. The low-starch, high-fibre composition also helps ensure good hindgut microflora activity and reduces the likelihood of digestive upsets associated with high-starch or low-fibre diets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA comprehensive mineral and vitamin supplement is added, with minerals included in their organic form — including selenium from selenium yeast — for improved safety and bioavailability. A balanced inclusion of calcium and phosphorus promotes sound bone and joint development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mare’s last trimester of pregnancy, adequate mineral supplementation is of key importance for foetal development and skeletal health of the subsequent foal. When fed at the recommended intakes, Dunstan Breed \u0026amp; Grow will provide the necessary intake of these key nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring lactation, the mare has a significant increase in energy demands. Dunstan Breed \u0026amp; Grow is highly palatable and, being low in starch and high in fibre, provides a very safe way to meet the high energy requirements of the lactating mare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe addition of a live yeast further aids digestion and assists in maintaining a more optimal hindgut. Quality protein ingredients ensure good amino acid status, which is of key importance in all breeding horses. Includes mannan oligosaccharide and aluminosilicate clay to assist in managing seasonal pasture challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eEquine Safe\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in Equine-Safe manufacturing plants.
