Feed materialHeat-treated barley flakes as a hygienically high-quality and easily digestible source of energy for animals with increased energy requirementsCompared to oats, barley has a slightly higher energy value, but lower starch digestibility. So the energy content of barley can only be absorbed in the small intestine after hydrothermal treatment of the barley. Only through this heat treatment, the starch can then be converted into energy.With a rather low crude fiber content of approx. 5%, barley is mainly used as a starch carrier in the feed diets, which means that the amount of feed for the different animal species has to be weighed up and limited. As a ß-glucan-rich grain, barley has positive and digestive effects for horses, but for other species such as poultry, a high ß-glucan content can decrease digestibility why the dosing rate of barley in the complete feed should be limited.

Feed materialHighly 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 requirementsCompared 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.Du

Cold pressed natural thistle oilThe merits of milk thistle oil have been well known for a long time by people who take care of their diet. In equine nutrition, vegetable oils are used mainly as a source of energy, to eliminate dust, to promote a glossy coat, or for therapeutic reasons. Contained in the thistle seeds is an oil which has the highest level of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids of all oil-producing plants. Those draw less oxygen from the blood than saturated fatty acids and fill the empty glycogen deposits better than any other source of energy. As a very mobile and easily available source of energy, they promote growth and fertility and strengthen the immune system. The levels of vitamins, pre-vitamins and minerals make Milk Thistle Oil a valuable and natural supply of vital biological agents.

Feed materialHighly digestible source of energy · hydrothermally rolled · low-dust and longer shelf life · for animals with increased energy requirements Hydrothermally rolled oats as a highly digestible source of energy for animals with increased performance requirements or weakened animalsOats have high levels of digestive mucilage (ß-Glucans), a comparatively high fat content and high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids, such as essential linoleic acid. Compared to other types of grain, oat protein is characterized by a particularly high amount of lysine, which is an important protein building block for healthy growth and a well-functioning immune system. 85% of the easily digestible starch can be broken down in the horses´ small intestine and converted into readily available energy - this is what has made oats so famous as a traditional concentrate in horse feeding.The high husk content (approx. 25%) makes oats the most fiber-rich type of grain, what, depending on the animal sp
