Optimal equine nutrition is the foundation of horse health and performance. Fiskens Ultra Low GI horse feed, designed specifically for New Zealand conditions, provides essential nutrition without unnecessary ingredients or additives.
What Makes Fiskens Ultra Low GI Unique?
Since 1957, we've focused on quality ingredients and performance, to ensure each of our horse feeds promote equine health at every stage. Ultra Low GI horse feed stands out, with it unique formulation that supports your horse's digestive health and overall well-being.
The Benefits of Key Ingredients
The ingredients in Ultra Low GI support efficient nutrient absorption and digestive health:
Linseed Oil: Enhances Equine Health
The linseed oil in Ultra Low GI feed is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which is crucial for maintaining coat shine, joint health and immune function. It's especially beneficial for managing tying-up in horses and supporting gut health, helping to prevent conditions like laminitis.
Micronized Lupins: Provides Sustainable Protein
Micronized lupins provide an excellent source of plant-based protein, which promotes muscle recovery and growth, without the adverse effects of high-starch grains. So Fiskens Ultra Low GI is the ideal choice for horses that require a grain-free diet, or those prone to digestive issues.
Canola Oil and Soya Hulls: Supports Digestive Function
Canola oil and soya hulls contribute to a low glycemic index (GI) profile, crucial for maintaining steady energy levels and reducing the risk of metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance.
How Does Fiskens Ultra Low GI Helps with Equine Health Challenges?
Tying Up and Laminitis
Our Ultra Low GI feed offers a great solution for horses prone to tying-up or laminitis. By including low GI ingredients and excluding high-starch grains, Ultra Low GI helps stabilise blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of sudden energy spikes that can trigger these conditions.
Gut Health
Gut health is paramount for overall equine well-being. We include brewer's yeast to support a healthy gut flora balance, aiding digestion and nutrient absorption. This is essential for horses on a grain-free diet or those with sensitive digestive systems.
So, in summary, Ultra Low GI is a cost-effective, premium option for Kiwi horse owners and trainers seeking a balanced, nutritious diet for their equine partners.
By prioritising quality ingredients and thoughtful formulation, Fiskens ensures every feed supports optimal health and performance.
