Slow release energy

Horses participating in high-level endurance sports need the right energy to perform optimally.
For endurance activities, a horse needs energy that is gradually released and made available to be used by the muscles. The combination of easily digestible starch and an adapted fat content supports a stable provision of energy. The starch from puffed
and extruded grains is therefore easy to absorb and digest. In combination with the adapted fat content, this results in the right source of energy for horses that need to perform high levels of endurance.

Optimal gut health

Contains pro- and postbiotics that help to bring and keep the digestive system in balance. This is especially important during training and competition periods. A stable microbiome makes for a sport horse that feels good, performs more consistently
and gets the best out of itself.

Probiotics are live, good bacteria that support gut flora. They help maintain the balance between good and bad bacteria, which is important for stable digestion and effective nutrient absorption.

Prebiotics arise when good gut bacteria convert nutrients. They support the gastrointestinal wall and immune system and contribute to a calm, resilient gut.

Efficient trace mineral absorption

The more intense the physical activity, the more minerals such as copper, zinc, manganese and selenium a horse needs. In addition to a balanced supplementation of various minerals in inorganic forms, Cavalor sport feeds for high performance horses also contain chelated minerals or chelates. These easy-to-absorb minerals have increased bioavailability due to their unique structure compared to inorganic minerals. This allows the increased mineral needs to be met, which is essential for muscle strength, endurance and recovery.

Extrudates for better digestion

By using extrusion — a state-of-the-art technology — nutrients are easier to digest and absorb. An easily digestible feed helps a horse to get more out of every meal. The easier it is to digest, the more efficiently the horse can absorb and use energy and
nutrients from the feed. During the extrusion process, the ingredients are pre-cooked to allow them to be absorbed and used more easily by the body. Extrusion increases the digestibility of the starch in the ingredients.
This starch release lowers the risk of undigested starch particles entering the colon. Undigested starch in the colon acidifies it and increases the risk of health problems like colic, laminitis and muscle problems.

With their unique texture and volume, the extruded pieces stimulate chewing and ensure that horses eat more slowly. The increased chewing stimulates spit production, which contributes to the overall health of the gastrointestinal system.
