Saracen Re-Leve Mix - 20kg

Yes, Re-Leve Mix is designed to completely replace traditional cereal-based concentrate feeds for horses in work. However, ensure adequate forage is provided and monitor your horse's condition and energy levels.

Low starch means the feed contains a significantly reduced amount of starch (8% in Re-Leve Mix) compared to traditional cereal grains, which are high in starch. This helps manage energy release, reduce excitability, and is beneficial for horses with sensitive digestive systems or metabolic conditions.

Feeding rates vary based on your horse's bodyweight, condition, and workload. Always feed by weight using scales and start with the lower end of recommended rates, adjusting as needed. Refer to the product packaging or consult a Saracen nutritionist for personalized advice.

Re-Leve Mix is low in starch and sugar, making it generally suitable for horses prone to laminitis or Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). However, always consult your veterinarian or a qualified equine nutritionist before making significant dietary changes for horses with these conditions.

It is crucial to switch gradually over 7-14 days. Mix increasing amounts of Re-Leve Mix with decreasing amounts of the old feed to allow the horse's digestive system to adapt and minimize the risk of upset.

Re-Leve Mix provides a balanced nutritional profile for horses in work. However, depending on individual needs, forage quality, and workload, a balancer or specific vitamin/mineral supplement might be recommended. Consult with a nutritionist.

While Re-Leve Mix is designed for horses in work, it can be fed to horses at rest if their specific dietary needs (e.g., low starch requirement) dictate it. Adjust quantities significantly downwards to match lower energy requirements and ensure adequate forage intake.

This may indicate the feed is introduced too quickly. Revert to a lower amount and reintroduce more slowly. Ensure the horse is not receiving other high-starch feeds. Consult a nutritionist.

Ensure the feed is dampened and mixed thoroughly with chaff. Try introducing smaller amounts initially and gradually increasing. Ensure forage is offered prior to concentrate feeding.

This could be due to too rapid a change in diet. Reduce the amount of Re-Leve Mix and ensure the introduction is very gradual (over 10-14 days). Ensure adequate fibre intake from forage.

Review the feeding rate based on the horse's work level and condition. Ensure the horse is receiving sufficient total calories from forage and the Re-Leve Mix. Consult a nutritionist to adjust the diet if necessary.
