Frequently Asked Questions

How can I save money with Keyflow?

Feeding is often judged on price per bag,per kg or per tonne. Less frequently it is worked out based on cost per day - and also the upside benefits of feeding a premium ration. Keyflow Nurture carries a feeding rate of approximately half that of traditional stud feed - so usually that equates to a cost per day that is less. Also, when feeding Keyflow, our science positively effects fertility, post partum recovery and feeding, development, sales ring price, success and longevity on the race track. The equation for this isn’t so simple or obvious but it is worthy of consideration.

How can omega 3 benefit my breeding and youngstock?

Omega 3’s play a critical role in a horses reproductive processes which include development of soft tissue right through all life stages. Specifically it is long chain omega 3’s (DHA and EPA) that are the most functional and active. Fortunately we include DHA in our stud feeds (Nurture and Nurture Pro) as standard but you always have the option of supplementing it using Key-3 Oil.

What support should I give my older horse or pony?

Additional nutritional support is required as horses and ponies age. Often their digestive health, joints and mobility or condition can decline. Certain health issues such as PPID (Cushing’s disease) can also affect their nutritional needs. Golden Oldies provides a complete package of sophisticated ingredients to support ageing equines, even for horses with dental issues. Try combining with Pink Mash to provide an easy to eat, complete fibre mash.

How do I feed my good doer energy without weight gain?

Feeding energy to a horse or pony which is prone to gaining weight can be challenging. For increased energy production and vitality, we start by recommending the diet is fully balanced with micronutrients and protein, with a products such as Perfect Balance™. Then we suggest adding energy as needed in the form of a high quality omega oil Key-3 Oil™. Continually feed oil at a maintenance level and increase as required.

I suspect my horse has gastric ulcers, what should I feed?

Gastric ulcers (EGUS) can affect all types of horses and ponies. Goods husbandry is essential, whilst providing an easy to digest, low sugar and starch diet, with a variety of fibre. Pink Mash delivers super fibre and exceptional pro and prebiotic support. Omega Chaff naturally promotes a healthy gastric environment, while Sensi-Care, a cereal free formulation, contains essential micronutrients and further multi-source fibre. Talk to us for complete support with ulcer management.

What is pre-digested and why do I need to know about steam extrusion?

Pre-digested essentially means cooked, this can be done in a small number of ways. We use steam extrusion extensively throughout our products which involves, grinding, adding steam to and gently cooking a mixture of ingredients. The process causes the mixture to expand and any starches and proteins to change structure. This increases the surface area of the molecule, allowing the horse’s digestive enzymes to more readily and thoroughly break them down in the small intestine. Think of a popcorn kernel after it’s popped, the surface area is increased making it easier to digest. Take a look at Key-Plus™ or Stay Cool™ for what our steam extruded feeds look like.

What is EQ-Complete™?

Horses are reliant on their diet to deliver proteins they cannot synthesise themselves, these are known as essential amino acids. EQ-Complete™ is a combination of high quality and carefully selected ingredients, which deliver specific essential proteins. Providing the perfect building blocks for outstanding muscle development while also supporting muscle recovery and repair. EQ-Complete™ features in the BlackType  range of feeds.

What nutritional changes can I make to increase my winning strike rate?

Fundamentally, there are 3 major factors effecting a horses chances of winning. The horses ability (genetic potential/breeding), the trainers ability in training/fitten then placing the horse in the right race and the horses nutrition and nutritional management. In other words, nutrition is one of the most powerful tools at the trainers disposal. There are many, but two nutritional factors that sometimes get overlooked are adding long chain omega 3 (DHA and EPA) to the diet - and fibre (gut health). Long chain omega 3 is responsible for contributing to a myriad of biochemical and biomechanical functions in the body. One worthy of the astute trainers attention is its role in the elasticity of the lungs. When horses breath at gallop they take one stride per breath, this mechanical relationship between the lungs and the horses gait is called locomotive coupling. When supplemented with DHA and EPA the horse will tend to take a slightly deeper breath at gallop, this in turn allows a slightly longer stride. The net result is faster times and a better chance of winning. Lastly, modern racehorse hard feed diets don’t tend to leave the gut a lot of room for fibre. Two ways to increase fibre intake is to feed a ration that has a higher digestibility and therefore decreased volume of feed required (BlackType Power). The other is add in a concentrated fibre source such as Pink Mash. Doing either of these things will have a positive impact on the horses gut health and through that, we are most certain you will see an overall improvement in performance and therefore results. As ever please contact the team to discuss these concepts and others to find out how we can help you over the line in first place.

What is strategic feeding?

Strategic feeding is a technique used to meet certain energy or condition requirements. It involves feeding a reduced rate of one feed and using another to topup, to ensure correct levels of vitamins and minerals are still being met. For example, a horse requiring a slight increase in energy, being fed Stay Cool™ (pp.10-11) as a baseline, can have Maestro™ added to the ration to provide a slight increase energy, with the ratio of 75% Stay Cool™ and 25% Maestro™. Contact us for a specific strategic feeding plan for your horse.

My horse is stressy and lacks appetite, how do I maintain and build condition whilst they are in work?

Although not easy, it is possible to feed a balanced ration to this type of horse when you know how. It is likely your horse will only be interested in eating a certain amount of feed at a time so divide the daily feed up into as many meals as is practical, at least 3 but even up to 6 portions. Next concentrate the ration, use high protein balancers such as Nurture Pro and concentrated conditioners like Key-Plus™ to add concentrated nutrients into every mouthful. Finally, if they accept the texture, add oil (Key-3 Oil) to further concentrate the calories in the bucket. Feed plenty of quality hay and make sure they are eating it well, if not change sources. Contact us for help for further ways to help feed this type of horse.
