TopSpec Launch Two New Mashes
TopSpec has added High Fibre Mash and Linseed Mash to its range of innovative horse feed.
Mashes are very useful for hydrating horses and volumising their feed. The highly digestible fibre in both these mashes helps to promote the beneficial bacteria in the hindgut therefore helping to maintain a healthy digestive system. Salt, magnesium oxide and limestone are added to the blends to provide additional sodium, magnesium and calcium.
TopSpec High Fibre Mash is perfect for all those horses and ponies that obtain all the calories they need from forage but either deserve a feed or need a palatable low-calorie carrier for supplements.
TopSpec High Fibre Mash is a high fibre, low-calorie yet voluminous blend making it an ideal mash for good-doers. The mash is a blend of good quality high fibre ingredients, including oatbran. It is a cereal-grain-free, low in sugar and starch and therefore ‘Non-Heating.’
The TopSpec High Fibre Mash should be soaked for 5 minutes prior to feeding with 2 parts water to 1 part mash.
TopSpec Linseed Mash combines the best of traditional knowledge with modern technology. Horses fed it gleam with health. Rich in linseed and oatbran this mash contains just 12% starch yet the scattering of flaked maize and flaked peas lends a mix-like appearance to this scrumptious, flavoursome mash.
The New TopSpec Linseed Mash has a good conditioning index of 13 MJ/kg, however once soaked, this figure will be reduced as fed. The formula is very high in oil and contains good fibre levels, which makes it more sympathetic to the equine digestive system than high-starch feeds.
TopSpec Linseed Mash can be used in those circumstances where extra condition is required but it is important to remember that it is the weight of dry feed that contributes 13MJ/kg, not the weight of soaked feed.
The mash is a blend of conditioning ingredients, with an emphasis on linseed providing substantial levels of oil and protein and including the all-important muco-polysaccharides. Oatbran provides good levels of super-fibres and has been proven to be sympathetic to the horse’s digestive system.
TopSpec Linseed Mash should be soaked for at least 5 minutes prior to feeding with equal parts of water to mash. Further water can be added if a more fluid consistency is preferred.
These two new mashes are designed to be fed with any TopSpec feed balancer or an appropriate TopSpec supplement as they do not contain any added vitamins or trace-elements.
TopSpec High Fibre Mash is available in 20kg - £11.95.
TopSpec Linseed Mash is available in 20kg - £13.95.
