Dodson & Horrell Suregrow – 20kg

Dodson & Horrell Suregrow – 20kg

A stud balancer, which means a concentrated source of protein, vitamins and minerals fed in small quantities rather than a feed fed by the scoop. At 26% protein with lysine at 19g/kg, calcium at 2.5% and copper at 170mg/kg, a few hundred grams supplies what a growing horse needs without the calorie load that comes with a stud mix.

That distinction is the point of the product. Growth rate in youngstock wants to be steady, and the commonest way it goes wrong is a well-meaning owner feeding enough of a compound feed to hit the mineral targets and oversupplying energy in the process. Suregrow separates the two, so nutrition and calories can be adjusted independently.

Performance & Benefits

• 26% protein with 19g/kg lysine supplies the amino acids for healthy growth.
• Low intake rate keeps calories down, so growth rate stays controlled.
• Calcium at 2.5% and copper at 170mg/kg for skeletal development.
• Vitamin E at 1,600mg/kg supports fertility in stallions and milk quality in broodmares.
• MOS and FOS prebiotics with ActiSaf live yeast support hindgut function.
• Biotin at 4.5mg/kg and chelated zinc support hoof horn quality.
• Can be the sole concentrate, or a top-up alongside another feed.

Suitable For

• Broodmares through pregnancy and lactation.
• Foals, weanlings and yearlings.
• Stallions in light or hard work.
• Any horse needing full vitamin and mineral provision on few calories.
• Where a mare or youngster also needs condition, Mare & Youngstock Concentrate supplies the calories alongside.

Care & Caution

• This is a balancer, not a feed. Feeding it by the scoop like a compound feed will heavily oversupply protein and minerals.
• Copper at 170mg/kg is high by design for stud stock. Take care when feeding it alongside another fortified feed or supplement.
