- Oat free
- Organic minerals
- Added vegetable oil
- Quality protein with added lysine
- Natural vitamin E
- A premium, highly palatable, Oat-free, semi-concentrate muesli feed. Formulated to balance the nutritional shortfalls in forage and unfortified grains rations.
As Dunstan Athlete is a semi-concentrate, Oats or alternative preferred unfortified ingredients (feedstuffs that do not contain any added vitamins or minerals) can be added to meet the individual horse's energy demands for the body condition and performance.
Dunstan Athlete complements unfortified grain by utilising alternative calorie sources in the form of super fibres and fats, in conjunction Barley and Maize in their extruded form. Providing the horse with a combination of calorie sources ensures the horse receives the energy to perform while also considering both gastric and hindgut health.
The inclusion of cooked extruded cereals (Barley and Maize) supplies a readily available energy source but in a highly digestible form, less likely to cause digestive upset as a result of excessive fermentation of starch in the hindgut.
The addition of Virgin Canola Oil, as well as contributing an alternative calorie source, will enhance skin and coat condition and provide a favourable Omega profile to the diet.
Quality protein is provided via the inclusion of Soyabean Meal, Lupins and the addition of supplement lysine, methionine and threonine, again to complement the unfortified grain addition.
Dunstan Athlete contains a comprehensive formula of minerals. Minerals are provided as glycinate organic trace minerals, resulting in improved bioavailability. This ensures maximum feed and nutrient utilisation, also aiding development of the natural immune system.
Vitamin E is included as Natural Vitamin E, for improved bioavailability.
A live yeast is included. The benefits the hindgut microbiome and therefore both hindgut health and fibre digestion.

Daily feed amounts will vary depending on available pasture, body condition, and individual metabolic rate.
- Ensure adequate fibre intakes by providing 1%–1.5% per day of the horse's body weight as Dunstan Betabeet/Sugarbeet, chaff, hay, or pasture (on a Dry Matter basis).
- It is advisable to split the daily hard feed into at least two feeds, preferably 3–4, but feed no more than 2.0 kg of Dunstan Athlete per meal.
- Always introduce a new feed gradually over a period of 7–10 days.
- Always ensure the horse has access to clean drinking water.
- High copper levels in Dunstan Athlete make it unsuitable for feeding to sheep.
