Product Information

Full details

The Thunderbrook Synergy Horse Feed is a concentrated, cereal-free, balanced feed designed for horses of all disciplines, including veterans and youngstock. Its key benefit is nutritionally supporting a healthy gut environment through generous amounts of added prebiotics, probiotics, fruits, herbs, and botanicals. A potential caveat is the need to supplement with additional roughage and fresh water, as it does not contain added salt.

FAQs

Is Thunderbrook Synergy suitable for horses with laminitis?

Synergy has a very low sugar (2.2%) and starch (7.5%) content, making it generally suitable for horses requiring a low-sugar/low-starch diet. However, always consult with your veterinarian or equine nutritionist before introducing any new feed to a horse with specific health conditions like laminitis.

How much Synergy should I feed my horse?

Feeding rates vary based on the horse's size, workload, and diet. For a 500kg horse, a typical amount is 500g per day. Always refer to the specific feeding guide provided with the product or consult an equine nutritionist for personalized recommendations.

Can I feed Synergy to young foals?

Synergy is suitable for youngstock. It is designed to be a balanced feed that supports growth and development. However, introduce it gradually and ensure it is adequately dampened.

What is the shelf life of Thunderbrook Synergy?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, Synergy typically maintains its quality for several months. Check the packaging for the best-before date.

Does Synergy contain added salt?

No, Synergy does not contain added salt. It is recommended to provide a salt lick so your horse can self-regulate their salt intake.

Why is it important to add chaff or muesli?

Adding chaff or muesli provides necessary texture and encourages chewing, which is essential for healthy digestion in horses. It helps to slow down intake and promotes saliva production.

Troubleshooting

Horse is reluctant to eat the new feed.

Ensure a very gradual introduction over 5 days, starting with a tiny amount. Mixing with a small amount of a favorite palatable feed or adding a natural flavoring like apple sauce (in moderation) might help entice them.

Digestive upset (e.g., loose droppings) after introduction.

Immediately reduce the amount of Synergy back to a level the horse tolerates, or revert to their previous feed. Reintroduce Synergy even more slowly, ensuring adequate forage and water are available. Consult your veterinarian if symptoms persist.

Feed appears dry or dusty.

Dampen the feed thoroughly with water as recommended in the feeding instructions. Adding a small amount of chopped or chaffed hay can also improve palatability and texture.
