CoolStance Copra Meal horse feed 20kg

Product Information

CoolStance® has a unique aroma and taste, which most horses like. A small number of horses can find the product unusual and can be slow to take to it. Start with small amounts and build up slowly. Persist, as the results are worth the effort. Do you feed CoolStance® wet or dry? CoolStance Copra meal contains 8-10% oil as coconut oil, and only 11% NSC which makes it a unique feed for horses. Coconut oil is very different from many of the other vegetable oils commonly fed to horses. Coconut oil is highly saturated, which makes it very stable (ie. not prone to rancidity). Coconut oil also has a high content of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), which provide a ready source of non glucose energy for exercise. Coconut oil is also rich in the fatty acid "lauric acid" which possess antibacterial, antifungal and antiprotozoal properties. This may be of benefit to immune function. Copra has been blamed for impaction colic and other gastrointestinal distress, but this has mostly been attributed to intake of copra without adequate water. When fed as a meal, it is best to soak copra prior to being fed or at least serve it mixed with water (three parts water to one part copra).The commercial feeds that are mostly or entirely copra can be fed dry but water availability is crucial. Palatability is generally very good, but consumption is notably better when fed wet.

Rest assured, CoolStance is completely free of prohibited substances, and we consistently perform batch testing and aflatoxin testing regulated by FEMAS, ensuring the highest quality standards. Trust CoolStance Copra as the natural, reliable choice for your equine companion’s health and performance When looking at the protein content of a feed, you must consider it as part of a complete diet. Cool Stance is a high protein feed (21% crude protein), however it is designed to be fed in conjunction with lower protein feeds like grass hay. Therefore when considered as part of a complete diet, CoolStance makes a valuable contribution to satisfying a horse’s protein requirements in what may otherwise be a diet which is marginal or even deficient in protein.

The Lauric acid in coconut oil provides added advantages for horses with or prone to gastric ulcers, thanks to it being associated with having antimicrobial, antiviral and immune-boosting effects. For enhanced protection, CoolStance can be combined with Ulcabuf. We combine feed ingredients for a very good reason, and that is because they each bring their own unique set of nutrients to the diet. Being high in phosphorus and low in calcium is actually USEFUL because so often we end up with high calcium in diets and phosphorus is a sometimes hard to come by and relatively expensive nutrient. So when we can use naturally high phosphorus ingredients it helps to fill this requirement in a diet.

If you’re using cold water, leave for 5 minutes before feeding. If you’re using warm/hot water, it will be ready to feed straight away or once it’s cooled to a suitable temperature. Mix well before feeding. Premium Copra Meal is best fed as a wet mash. Introduce into your horses diet gradually over a two week period. It is recommeded that Premium Copra Meal be fed with a complete mineral suppliment if used as your horses base diet.Premium Copra Meal is an organic product made from the oil and digestible fibre of white coconut flesh. Copra provides a source of cool energy as the animal derives the required calories from the highly digestible fibre and high quality omega 3 containing oil rather than conventional grain based feed stuffs which rely on starch and sugars. This makes Copra an ideal choice for those wishing to supplement their horses diet to achieve a shiny and dappled coat or for those looking to increase weight gain. Copra is also the ideal solution for the horse owner wishing to mix their own feeds. Horses were designed to eat little and often and usually graze for 16-18 hours per day. Feeding twice per day may cause “insulin spikes” which can predispose horses to insulin resistance. This can be avoided by feeding less and more often. If feeding more than twice per day is not practical, feed the hay in a hay feeder which limits the horse to eating the hay over several hours.
