Equi-Jewel is a highly digestible and highly palatable source of fat and calories for horses.
High-Fat Stabilised Rice Bran with Calcium, Vitamin E and Selenium
Alternative sources of Energy, such as rice bran, are now very popular. EQUI-JEWEL, a high-fat stabilised rice bran supplement, increases the energy density of a ration, thereby decreasing the amount of grain necessary to fulfill energy requirements of horses during growth, lacttation or athletic performance. Replacing a portion of grain allotment with EQUI-JEWEL helps to limit starch intake and therefore assist in reduction of the risks of digestive upset often associated with excessive grain and minimal forage intake. To achieve superior coat condition, Equi-Jewel can be supplemented to horses of all ages.
Feed Fact: EQUI-JEWEL is an energy supplement, which should be added to grain and chaff.

Research Proven
In a recent scientific study conducted by Kentucky Equine Research the effects of feeding Equi-Jewel and corn oil were compared. During Strenuous excercise, horses fed Equi-Jewel had lower lactic acid levels than horses fed corn oil. The inclusion of rice bran as a substitute for corn oil in rations also resulted in lower heart rates and subsequent shorter recovery periods.

Laminitis
What’s inside?
Stamm 30 utilizes proteinated trace minerals to increase the bioavailability of these critical elements
Magnesium requirements are higher for horses with a stress load or demanding physical regime. A proprietary bioavailable form of magnesium is added to Stamm 30 to increase muscle strength and structural integrity of the skeleton, as well as enhance the blood clotting factor.
Research has shown that natural sources of Vitamin E have greater bioavailibility than synthetic or manmade sources. In a study of Thoroughbreds in training, natural Vitamin E was found to be 180% more bioavailable than synthetic forms of the Vitamin. Among other Physiologic responsibilities, Vitamin E contributes most generously to the horse’s antioxidant defenses. Antioxidants are especially important to equine athletes because they are thought to help horses recover more quickly from muscle soreness following intense excercise. Stamm 30 incorporates this revolutionary form of vitamin E.
Recently approved for use in equine diets, selenium yeast is a highly available form of the essential element which is included in Stamm 30.
Studies done on Excercising Thoroughbreds supplemented with Selenium yeast indicated that horses had a higher retention rate that those supplemented with the inorganic form of selenium.
