TOPSPEC LAUNCH NEW LINSEED MASH


N


ew Linseed Mash from TopSpec combines the best of traditional knowledge with modern


technology. Horses fed it gleam with health. Linseed mash.jpg Rich in linseed and oatbran TopSpec


Linseed Mash contains just 12% starch yet the scattering of flaked maize and flaked peas lends a mix-like appearance to this scrumptious, flavoursome mash. Feeding this highly-palatable


mash with an appropriate TopSpec feed balancer or supplement will result in horses shining with health. Mashes are very useful for hydrating horses and volumising their feeds. TopSpec Linseed Mash has a good


conditioning index of 13 MJ/kg, however once soaked, this figure will be reduced as fed. The formula is very high in oil and contains good fibre levels, which makes it more sympathetic to the equine digestive systemthan high-starch feeds. The newLinseed Mash can be


used in those circumstances where extra condition is required but it is


important to remember that it is the weight of dry feed that contributes 13MJ/ kg, not the weight of soaked feed.


TopSpec Linseed Mash is suitable for: • Horses having difficulty chewing e.g. elderly horses with dental problems.


• Horses that need hydrating e.g. away fromhome/during the winter and/or after hard work.


• Horses that need to gain weight but need a mash.


• Situations where a diet high in Omega 3 fatty acids is needed.


• Carrying unpalatable medication or supplements.


• Horses with poor coats. • Times when owners wish to feed a warm (less than 40oC) mash.


The highly digestible fibre in this


mash helps to promote the beneficial bacteria in the hindgut therefore helping to maintain a healthy digestive system. The mash is a blend of conditioning ingredients, with an emphasis on linseed


HERBAL HEALTH WITH MOLLICHAFF


A


s horses are herbivores it is normal for them to graze on different herbs in their natural


environment to supplement their diet. However, today’s domesticated horses and ponies do not always have access to the hedgerows and pastures where traditionally these herbs would grow. Mollichaff Herbal is a high quality


chaff made fromtop quality oat and wheat straws and also contains limestone plus garlic and a balanced mix of herbs - mint, rosemary and golden rod. It does not contain any artificial flavours. Garlic is widely thought to aid


digestion and maintain a healthy respiratory systemas well as being a natural fly repellent. Mint is very palatable to horses and is thought to help maintain a healthy respiratory and digestive system. Rosemary and Golden Rod are both thought to stimulate the appetite. The added limestone provides additional calcium for strong bones and healthy growth. Mollichaff Herbal is dust-extracted, chopped and lightly mixed with a

lowsugar blend of molasses, using a special process that coats every part of the chaff evenly to make it very palatable. This also gives it an open texture, unlike heavily molassed chaffs which can be sticky and lumpy. By stimulating the production of saliva


and slowing down the passage of food throughout the gut, Mollichaff Herbal can help to promote good digestion. In particular it will satisfy a stabled horse’s psychological need to chew, requiring up to 8000 chews per kilo to eat compared to as fewas 1200 for concentrates.

providing substantial levels of oil and protein and including the all-important muco-polysaccharides. Oatbran provides good levels of super-fibres and has been proven to be sympathetic to the horse’s digestive system. Salt, magnesium oxide and


limestone are added to the blend to provide additional sodium, magnesium and calcium. TopSpec Linseed Mash is


designed to be fed with any TopSpec feed balancer or an appropriate TopSpec supplement as it does not contain any added vitamins or trace-elements. This combination can be mixed with any other horse feed including alfalfa/grass chops. The mash should be introduced


gradually and fed according to condition, which will reflect workload and other variables. TopSpec Linseed Mash should be soaked for at least 5 minutes prior to feeding with equal parts of water to mash. Further water can be added if a more fluid consistency is preferred.
