Energy Source
Whole Maize
Maize
High energy dense grain to boost high performance horses. Resting days should be limited and volume limited to avoid laminitis. Suitable for all other animal species for growth, production & breeding.
- Whole 50kg - Should be soaked overnight
- Crushed 50kg - Has a higher digestibility than whole maize
- Fine 50kg - Has a higher digestibility than crushed maize
- Extruded 50kg - Steam extrusion opens & cooks the starch molecules to greatly improve the digestibility in the small intestine.
- Micronized 25kg/40kg - Infrared micronization and flaking of maize opens up the starch particles to improve the digestibility in the small intestine from 30% to 85-90%
Whole Oats
Afresh Brands Oats: V19855
Contain the lowest amount of starch but the highest proportion of starch digested in the small intestine. Oats is a 'safe' grain to feed because of its high crude fibre content in the outer hull. Oats can be fed with hay and roughage for maintenance, breeding or working horses. Suitable for all other animal species for maintenance, growth, production and breeding in combination with other grains.

- Whole 50kg - can be fed whole or soaked
- Whole Clipped 50kg - the pointed ends of the fibrous hull are removed, which increases the relative starch to fibre content.
- Crushed 40kg - crushing the oats slightly increases the digestibility of the grain
Whole Barley
Afresh Brands Barley V19854
An energy dense, palatable grain which, on a weight basis, has a digestible energy and protein content midway between maize and oats. It can be fed as a 'cool' energy source for conditioning, performance and working horses
An energy dense, palatable grain which, on a weight basis, has a digestible energy and protein content midway between maize and oats. It can be fed as a 'cool' energy source for conditioning, performance and working horses
- Whole 50kg - should be boiled for 10 - 15 minutes before feeding
- Micronized 25kg - Infrared micronization of barley opens up the starch particles to improve the digestibility in the small intestine from 23-25% to 80-90%, giving a reputation for reducing nervous or 'hyperactive' behaviour as a 'cool' feed for working horses.
Protein Source
Whole Sweet Lupins
Afresh Brands Lupins V19850
A good protein and energy source. Lupins do not contain carbohydrates to cause 'hyperactive' behaviour, so it is regarded as a 'cool' energy source.
- Whole 50kg
- Micronised 50kg - Micronized and flaked for maximum palatibility
Whole Striped Sunflower Seed
Afresh Brands Sunflower Seed V19849
A popular energy and protein source. It is a 'cool' energy booster and coat conditioner for performance and show horses.

Fibre Source
Lucerne Chaff
Equi-Feeds Lucerne Chaff V19857*
Lucerne chaff reduces the wastage usually experienced with bale feeding.
Oaten Chaff
Equi-Feeds Oaten Chaff V19858*
Oat hay chaff is palatable and reduces the wastage usually experienced with bale feeding.

Shandy Chaff
Equi-Feeds Shandy Chaff V19856*
Lucerne and oat hay chaff mix is an excellent combination roughage source.
Lucerne and oat hay chaff mix is an excellent combination roughage source.
*Equi Chaff is dust extracted to eliminate the allergic and respiratory problems typically associated with conventionally baled hay. By mixing the chaff with the concentrated feed it will force the horse to eat slower and reduces bolting and the incidence of colic.
