Feed material
Highly digestible corn flakes · provides high energy with low protein content · to feed weakened animals · for animals with increased energy needs
Steam-heated maize to enrich the energy-level of feed diets for weakened animals or in periods of high performance requirements
Compared to other types of grain, corn kernels are particularly rich in starch, but contain lower amounts of protein. But the unprocessed, dried corn grain is not easily digestible for most animal species as horses, rabbits and rodents. So their organism cannot break down the valuable starch from the grain very well.
We therefore process our corn into crunchy, golden-yellow corn flakes by gentle steam heating. This process changes the corn structure, what simplify eating and chewing the corn, and furthermore the combination of heat and steam breaks down the starch in the grain, a kind of pre-digesting process. Now most of the starch can be absorbed in the small intestine and be converted into energy.
Due to the low protein content, Corn Flakes are ideal for animals that tend to have certain liver or kidney problems or older animals that can no longer metabolize large amounts of protein and lose weight quickly.

Feeding recommendation:
for horses:- Due to the high energy density in connection with the content of valuable fatty acids and carotenoids, corn flakes are often fed to sport and breeding horses to upgrade their feed diet in addition to sufficient roughage.
- As an alternative to oats, 0.8kg of corn flakes replace 1kg of oats.
- In case of liver insufficiency and kidney diseases with high urea values in the blood plasma, Corn Flakes are recommended as an energy supply in protein-reduced diets.
- For laying hens and breeders, Corn Flakes are working as an energetic upgrade in the daily feed mixture and complete the diet with high content of essential fatty acids and carotenoids.
- This supports a well pigmentation of the egg yolk.
- In pullet feed, we recommend limiting the mixing rate of Corn Flakes to a maximum of 30% in order to prevent unwanted fat formation and increased fat deposits in the ovaries
- We also recommend a maximum of 30% Corn Flakes in the feed rations for waterfowl in order to avoid disadvantageous fat formation.
- Corn flakes should only be fed to rabbits and rodents in moderation or in phases with increased energy requirements, such as to feed weakened animals.
- Because the digestive tract of our little darlings is not designed for a high starch and energy content in the feed, which is why excessive grain feeding can quickly lead to obesity and metabolic problems.
- To stimulate the activity and the search for food, we recommend mixing corn flakes with 1 teaspoon once or twice a week into the feed ration or «hiding» them in the hay/fresh bedding.
For the diet construction, don´t hesitate to contact us for individual advices which we recommend to closely coordinate with the treating vet.

It all began in 1932, when the Eggersmann family's passion for the milling trade took its place in the Wesermühle Rinteln. Today, Eggersmann horse feed from the Weserbergland region still stands for the highest standards of raw material quality, gentle production processes and customer-oriented service - all from a single source. This is how the family business developed into one of the most important companies for horse feed "made in Germany".
In order to provide our four-legged partners with the best possible care in every situation, we use only the best, highly processed grain from the region, valuable herbs and important nutrients for Eggersmann horse feed. With heart and horse sense, a team of veterinary practitioners, animal nutrition specialists and experienced horse owners create highly digestible formulas that ensure your horse's daily needs and are simply a pleasure to eat.
It is precisely this palatability of horse feed that is particularly important to the Eggersmann equestrian family. That is why every product first undergoes practical testing at the family-run Weserbergland stud farm. Only when the taste test is passed by our critical four-legged friends do we offer the Eggersmann horse feed for sale.
The EMH, E VET, Profi and Vitalize product lines have been developed for more specialized applications. Because in addition to the all-round feed for daily feeding, sometimes a solution is needed for the difficult phases in the horse's life, e.g. stomach problems, faecal water, respiratory or joint diseases, for muscle building or to support detoxification via the liver. Extensive practical testing is also of great importance for these horse feeds and is accompanied by intensive cooperation of the Eggersmann team with scientific institutions and feeding experts.
Based on our many years of experience in horse feeding, the constant examination of the latest scientific findings and state-of-the-art production technology, you will find a comprehensive range of products at Eggersmann Pferdefutter that will meet the various requirements of your horse. Because your horse feed is our family tradition.
