• High quality protein sources containing essential amino acids to support muscle tone.
• A good quality trace mineral and Vitamin pack
will help to keep the horse’s systems working
at optimum levels.

healthy coat and hoof.

and performance horses and ponies.

- Stud Range
The GAIN Stud Range provides a specific feed
for all stages of reproduction, lactation and
growth. This range is designed to cater for
foals, weanlings, yearlings, mares and stallions
and is scientifically formulated to meet their
critical nutrient requirements at various stages.
Precise feeding of broodmares during gestation
and lactation and then of youngstock during
growth and development is vital in order to
maintain optimal growth, health and well-being.
The GAIN Stud Range has been formulated
based on the most up-to-date scientific
research to provide a feed range that is highly
digestible and contains top quality ingredients.
This ensures the optimum provision of energy,
protein, Vitamins and minerals to address the
nutrient needs of the horse at the different
stages of development. GAIN has worked with
some of the world’s top breeders to produce
a stud range that meets all their requirements
from foal to adult.
20
Key Requirements of Breeding Stock
•
High quality protein is necessary to ensure optimal skeletal growth and development throughout gestation as well as ensuring youngstock have the building blocks for good bone and muscle development during their early life.
• Bio-available trace minerals maximise availability to the
horse and are pivotal in ensuring normal bone growth and development.
•
Digestible energy sources ensure that the horse's requirements are easily met during stages of the life-cycle where there is a large demand on the body's energy reserves such as during early lactation for the mare, weaning for foals and the breeding season for stallions.
• High levels of Vitamin E nutritionally support the reproductive system.
•
A choice of more concentrated feeds is essential when low intakes are required such as for an overweight mare, active breeding stallions and overtopped youngstock.
•
Good levels of Biotin, Methionine and Zinc are necessary to
nutritionally maintain healthy hoof growth.
•
High fibre and oil levels are necessary to maintain a healthy
digestive system and keep the horse’s coat in good condition.
“We feed
GAIN Horse
Feeds and
we find that
our horses
always reach
their full
growth and
development
potential. Their general health
is excellent and when it comes
to sales time, they are always in
peak condition.”

stages of pregnancy and lactation.
Ideal for foals, weanling and yearlings not requiring further condition.
May also be used as a 32% protein balancer for non-breeding horses.
Soya bean and milk powder provide essential available amino acids such as lysine
and methionine.
Linseed provides omega 3 fatty acids to support a healthy coat.

Proviox natural plant antioxidants support Vitamin E utilisation.
Can be introduced from three weeks of age.
Instructions For Use
Feed to growing foals from 1 to 8 months of age as a supplement to forage and water. Do not exceed the feeding
rates in feeding guidelines table. Over-topped foals may be fed GAIN Opti-Care Balancer or GAIN Stud-Care 32
Balancer as an alternative.
Instructions For Use
Concentrated stud balancer for foals, broodmares and stallions for low-rate feeding with forage and water. Can be
fed with forage alone as a concentrated source of protein, minerals and Vitamins where energy supply is adequate.
Can also be fed along with reduced quantities of other feeds e.g. GAIN Stud Cubes to reduce the total feed quantities.
1kg of GAIN Stud- Care 32 Balancer replaces 5kg of a standard GAIN feed. Feed GAIN Stud-Care 32 Balancer to a
maximum rate of 0.4kg/100kg bodyweight per day. For specific advice consult your GAIN Feeds representative.

20% protein low starch oat free balancer with elevated minerals and Vitamins.
Low feed rate provides vital amino acids, minerals and Vitamins while controlling
energy supply.
Extra energy can be supplied by adding in oats or a reduced quantity of a suitable
GAIN feed.
Useful dietary addition when feeding less than recommended quantities of a suitable
GAIN feed.
Excellent for broodmares to meet mineral and Vitamin requirements at all stages.
Ideal for foals, weanlings and yearlings not requiring further condition.
Balancing ratios by weight (Opti-Care:Oats):- 1:2=13% Protein. 1:1=15% Protein.
Ideal for overtopped young stock.
Low starch levels result in lower glycemic responses to feed and thereby decrease
possible negative effects of insulin and growth hormone spikes during growth.
Low starch levels provide nutritional support for horses and ponies prone to laminitis.
Low starch and oat free composition will help support a positive attitude.
Soya bean meal provides excellent quality protein for skeletal development and lactation.
Milk whey powder also provides an additional source of amino acids.
Bioplex protected trace elements including Copper, Zinc and Manganese maximise availability.

Recommended Feeding Practices
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Feed by weight and not by volume.
Split daily feed into smaller meals and feed at
the same time each day.
Adjust quantities fed according to bodyweight, workload
and temperament .
Make any changes to ration over 5 - 7 days to reduce
the risk of digestive upset.
Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
Provide a salt lick free choice.
Do not exercise for at least one hour after feeding.
Feed good quality forage free from dust and mould.
Feed at least 1% bodyweight of forage (in dry matter)
per day, i.e. 5kg hay (dry matter) for a 500kg horse
or provide access to pasture.
Do not add further Vitamin and mineral supplements
unless under professional guidance.
Feed extra electrolytes as required.
Keep all feeding equipment and utensils clean.
Follow a good worming programme.
Check horses’ teeth regularly.
Consult a GAIN technical team member if you have
any feed related queries or log on to
www.gainhorsefeeds.com
for nutrition related articles.
Note: As each horse’s requirements are different, feeding
instructions are only intended as a guide. The person
entrusted with the feeding of the horse should exercise
their own judgement at all times.
