Equi-Jewel Supplement

Performance and conditioning

Suitable for all horses from six months of age requiring a highly digestible source of fat.

Equi-Jewel is a scientifically formulated high fat, low starch, cool energy supplement with added vitamin E, selenium and calcium. Specifically designed to nutritionally support the equine athlete by providing a highly palatable form of additional calories and protein to assist in building muscle, topline and maintaining condition.

This unique high fat stabilised rice bran is made from the highest quality ingredients to bring out the best in your horse.

Key Benefits and Features

  • High energy, without the ‘fizz’ of the high starch found in grain.
  • Contains added calcium to balance high phosphorus levels found naturally in commonly fed cereal products such as rice bran, rice pollard, wheat pollard or wheat bran. A balanced calcium: phosphorus ratio is essential for optimal skeletal development and athletic performance.
  • A highly digestible and palatable source of fat.
  • Stabilised and extruded to lock in the fat content, increase shelf life and prevent oxidation.
  • Contains essential fatty acids for healthy skin and a naturally shiny coat.
  • The benefit of rice bran oil for conditioning and muscle building.
  • The low feeding rate and high digestibility provides an economical calorie supplement.
