Performance Cubes provide energy for work but are ‘Non-Heating’ and are ideal for horses that are a bit sharp or get fizzy on cereal-based competition mixes or cubes.
Performance Cubes are designed to be added to a TopSpec feed balancer or supplement and therefore contain no added vitamins or trace-elements. That is why we call them a ‘blend,’ because they are a blend of straight raw materials rather than a complete feed.
One of the ways in which they are superior to most straights however, is that they have been supplemented with the major minerals calcium, sodium and magnesium. For example feeding TopSpec Performance Cubes instead of cooked barley/sugar beet to working horses, reduces or eliminates the need to add salt.
They are formulated without the use of any cereal-grains, so they are not just ‘oat-free’ or ‘barley-free’ but completely cereal-grain free. At the same time they have a good calorific index of 12.5MJ/kg, equivalent to most cereal containing compound feeds designed to support hard work. The formula is low in starch and sugar and high in fibre.
They are balanced for protein with high-oil soya and linseed, and with available sources of calcium, magnesium and salt added.
The highly digestible fibre in these cubes helps to promote the beneficial bacteria in the hindgut therefore helping to maintain a healthy digest system.
- TopSpec Feed Balancers provide the perfect start to feeding a cereal-grain free, low sugar/starch diet. TopChop Alfalfa and/or unmolassed sugar beet shreds often provide a limited amount of suitable additional calories but when more energy is required or simple cubes are preferred TopSpec Performance Cubes provide the answer.
- Ideal when extra energy is required for hard work with a cereal-grain-free formula.
- An excellent choice when relaxed and focused performance is required.
- Perfect for any horses or ponies requiring a low-starch/high-fibre diet for other reasons e.g. muscle function.
- TopSpec Performance Cubes can be mixed with any other horse feeds including a TopChop, various forms of sugar beet pulp, and compound cubes/mixes.
- TopSpec Performance Cubes are available in 20kg sacks, the time they last will vary enormously from horse to horse depending on the circumstances but on average a sack will last a 500kg horse in medium work for ten days.
