- Dunstan Salute is a high energy full feed, formulated for racehorses and utilising a combination of energy sources. This highly palatable, lightly molassed muesli includes cooked cereal grains, super fibres and vegetable oil to meet the energy demands of the working horse.
Dunstan Salute utilises extrusion technology in an Oat free diet, with majority of the cereal portion provided as Extruded Barley and Extruded Maize. The extrusion process provides these grains in a highly digestible form which is less likely to cause digestive upsets as a result of excessive fermentation in the caecum and hindgut.
Vegetable Oil provides an additional calorie source in the equine athlete to boost calorie density of the ration.
Selenium and elevated levels of Vitamin E are included as key antioxidants, working together to maintain normal muscle function and reduce damage associated with oxidative stress.
The addition of a live yeast aids digestion and will assist in maintaining an optimum hind gut pH, therefore contributing to the overall health of the intestinal eco system of the horse.
Minerals are provided as Glycinate Organic Trace Minerals resulting in improved bio-availability. This ensures maximum feed and nutrient utilisation, also aiding development of the natural immune system.
Chromium Yeast is included as an aid to overall energy utilisation and as an agent to help reduce lactic acid accumulation, a factor associated with muscle fatigue. - Bran and Pollard, Extruded Barley, Extruded Maize, Soya Hull Pellets, Molasses, Lupins, Steam Flaked Maize, Vegetable Oil, Lupins, Peas, Sunflower Seeds, Limestone, Salt, Di-Calcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide, Chromium, Lysine, Live Yeast, Vitamin E, Pan Apple, Vitamins and Minerals

Daily feed amounts will vary depending on pasture availability and body condition. Horses are very much individuals with different metabolic efficiencies, some require a little more, others a little less, for the same level of activity.
