Important Nutrients for Performance

There is no magic wand for creating the perfect nutrient profile that is going to make your horse out-perform every other competitor in their category or to even win the Olympic Cup. The numbers of feeds and supplements that are out there are endless and each marketed to promise better results than the other.  Choosing the right feed for your equine partner can be a veritable minefield – is there enough energy? Does this feed create the fizz factor? Will this one cause tie-up or are they allergic to something in that one?

Hygain has created a few useful tools to help you in your journey to find the ultimate feed that will suit your horse and fulfil nutritional needs while he or she is at peak performance.  The first is the quick feed advisor that gives you various feed options to explore depending on what you would like to achieve.  This is a very useful tool for getting a head start in helping build the picture of your individual horses feed profile and requirements vs energy output.  https://hygain.co.nz/pages/advisor-page.

After you have sorted a few options that might be fit for purpose, you are more than welcome to put them through the Nutrikey diet service, https://nutrikey.com.au.

Without a doubt, your local Hygain representative is always available for a call to talk through your horse's diet so that we can help you make the tweaks required for a horse needing to maintain good energy levels but keep a cool head from the first day of HOY,  through to the last no matter what discipline you are in.
