Protein Meal for Horses
Protein Meal for Horses and Performance Horses
As the meal has a high oil and fibre content it is an ideal supplement for horses on dry pastures.
Working horses will only require a small amount in conjunction with other high energy feed stuffs while breeding and growing horses can be fed up to half a kilogram per head per day.
Protein Meal is a by-product of the grain ethanol distillery industry. It is predominantly made up of sorghum, barley & wheat. The objective during the milling process is to remove as much starch from the grain.
