Designed to be fed like a conventional stud feed it uses unique ingredients that produce only a minimal glycemic response following digestion to prevent skeletal disorders, such as osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). High levels of soluble carbohydrates have been replaced by fats and ‘super-fibres’ as alternative energy sources, and consequently, post weaning, Level-Grow would be the sole source of concentrate feed given to weanlings to carry them through to their yearling year until growth rates start to level off.
As the glycemic response of horses can be affected by the way their feed is formulated, using oil and fibre for energy rather than starch and sugar makes Level-Grow a ‘softer’, more forgiving feed. Backward foals can cope with the feed without compromising an immature skeleton, and mares that tend to carry too much condition during gestation respond well if they are maintained on Level-Grow. The higher fibre level suits a larger mare that is inclined to get too heavy throughout her pregnancy, and it will be easier to control her bodyweight, particularly approaching foaling. Stamm 30 is included in the Level-Grow formulations for nutrient continuity.
