Romix Pony Feed is a lucerne based, low energy ration which
makes it ideal for the maintenance of ponies and horses that
are good doers. It provides an excellent source of nutrients
and contains comprehensive minerals and vitamins suited
for grown ponies or horses.
Romix Stud Feed with oats is a fully balanced ration
formulated for broodmares during pregnancy and lactation.
This Stud Feed is also recommended for feeding working
stallions, foals and yearlings. It is very important that a
broodmare is fed correctly during the last trimester of her
pregnancy. Sixty percent of foetal development and forty
percent of the foal’s skeletal structure develops during
the last trimester of her pregnancy. The mare’s milk yield
is dependent not just on genetics but also on energy and
nutrient intake during the last three months. Therefore it is
very important that mares are fed a balanced ration.
Romix Race Horse Feed is a palatable, high energy feed
for horses that are doing high intensity work. High quality
protein and energy sources together with vitamins and
minerals in the Race Feed improve performance, stamina
and muscle repair. This feed enables mature horses to
succeed in competition whilst remaining healthy and fit.
Suitable for:
• Ponies in light to moderate work
• Horses in light work
• Horses and ponies that tend to become overweight
• Horses and ponies at rest or recovering from injury
• Horses and ponies that react adversely to a high
energy ration
