Description

Dunstan Spelling Mix is a molassed textured full feed, providing a balanced ration to the Spelling Horse.

The inclusion of an extruded cereal nugget in Dunstan Spelling Mix supplies a readily available energy source, but in a highly digestible form which is less likely to cause digestive upsets as a result of excessive fermentation in the caecum or hindgut.

Further alternative energy sources contribute to Dunstan Spelling Mix, with the ‘Super Fibre’ Soya Hulls providing calories from highly digestible fibre, beneficial for digestive health.

Vegetable Oil provides further calories as well as enhancing skin and coat condition.

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.

Organic Selenium as Selenium Yeast is included in Dunstan Spelling Mix to provide a highly available and safe form of Selenium.

Dunstan Spelling Mix includes the highly bio-available Natural Vitamin E.

Equine Safe

Dunstan Horsefeeds are produced in Equine-Safe manufacturing plants, ensuring a product of premium quality, safety and performance.

Feeding Recommendations

Maintenance 2 - 3 kg 
Condition Building 4 - 5 kg
Feeding Notes
  • The recommended feeding rates for Dunstan Spelling Mix are based on a 500kg horse and are guidelines only. 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.
     
  • Ensure adequate fibre intakes by providing 1 %-1 .5% per day of the horse's body weight as chaff, hay, Dunstan Betabeet/Sugarbeet 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 Spelling Mix per meal.
     
  • Always introduce a new feed gradually over a period of 7 – 10 days, working up to the desired feed intake taking into consideration body condition and work level.
General Notes

Always ensure the Horse has access to clean drinking water.

High Copper levels in Dunstan Spelling Mix make it unsuitable for feeding to sheep.
