What's inside
EQUINE SENIOR®
Prebiotics incorporated in HYGAIN® EQUINE SENIOR® have a defined mode of action, promoting a healthy gut and supporting natural defences essential for optimum health and performance.
Natural Vitamin E
This unique and highly stable form of Natural Vitamin E known as RRR-a-tocopherol is up to 5 times more bio available and potent than regular synthetic sources of Vitamin E. Research has shown that this form of Natural Vitamin E provides higher retention levels in plasma further aiding antioxidant, immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular and reproductive functions.
HYGAIN® RBO®
RBO® Equine Performance Oil® is a blend of rice bran oil, omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids and natural anti-oxidants known to improve the health and structural integrity of cell membranes. RBO® oil plays an important role in maximising energy efficiency due to its energy dense nature and is digested efficiently in the small intestine reducing the ‘sugar high’ associated with high grain diets. RBO® promotes growth and development of the muscular system, top line and a healthy skin and coat.
Vitamin C
for immune function.
Bio-Available Chromium
The addition of chromium to performance horse diets has been shown to reduce the build up of lactic acid at the end of strenuous exercise or the closing stages of a race and to increase the horse’s ability to store glucose.
Bio-Available Selenium
Selenium acts as an antioxidant to prevent fatty acid oxidation which can cause tissue damage. Research has shown that an organic form of selenium, is more readily absorbed and retained than selenium in inorganic forms.

EQUINE SENIOR® HORSE FEEDING TIPS
HYGAIN® EQUINE SENIOR® horse feed has been formulated for the mature horse/pony (6 yo +) and those in their senior years.
HYGAIN® EQUINE SENIOR® horse feed contains carefully blended ingredients that cater for the increased nutritional demands of the older horse when in work, at rest or enjoying retirement. Research has shown older horses require higher levels of nutrients to maintain condition and general well-being as efficiency of the digestive tract decreases with age.
Horses on average will 1.5% of their body weight as quality roughage per day. Care should be taken to match feed intake to age, breed, appetite, exercise, desired body condition, pasture/hay quality and availability and climate.
Reduce the intake of HYGAIN® EQUINE SENIOR® horse feed if horses gain weight and/or exercise regime is interrupted, on rest days and when pasture quality and availability is in excess of dietary requirements. If your horse/pony endures heavy sweat loss additional supplementation with an electrolyte such as HYGAIN® REGAIN® is recommended.
HYGAIN® EQUINE SENIOR® is a balanced feed and as such the addition of other grains and supplements only serves to dilute the nutritional integrity of the feed.
Introduce HYGAIN® EQUINE SENIOR® to your horse’s diet gradually over a 7-14 day period.
Feed by weight and not by volume.
Feed a minimum of 1.5% of your horse’s body weight daily as roughage.
Horses have a small stomach, so feed little and often.
Ensure horses have access to clean water.
