Rich in linseed and oatbran, this mash contains just 11% starch, yet the scattering of flaked maize and flaked peas lends a mix-like appearance to this irresistible mash.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mash is a blend of conditioning ingredients, with an emphasis on linseed providing substantial levels of oil and protein, and including the all-important muco-polysaccharides. Oatbran provides good levels of superfibres and has been proven to be sympathetic to the horse’s digestive system. The highly digestible fibre in this mash helps to promote the beneficial bacteria in the hindgut, therefore helping to maintain a healthy digestive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe high oil formula, combined with good fibre levels, makes Linseed Mash more sympathetic to the equine digestive system than high-starch feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinseed Mash soaks quickly in 5 minutes. It has a good conditioning index of 13 MJ\/kg; however, once soaked, this figure will be reduced as fed. It is the weight of dry feed that contributes 13 MJ\/kg, not the weight of soaked feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalt, magnesium oxide, and limestone are added to the blend to provide optimum levels of sodium, magnesium, and calcium, thus overcoming the major problems associated with the use of straights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLinseed Mash is suitable for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses having difficulty chewing, e.g. elderly horses with dental problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that need hydrating, e.g. away from home, during the winter, or after hard work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that need to gain weight but need a mash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSituations where a diet high in Omega-3 fatty acids is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as a carrier mash for supplements, balancers, and\/or medication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimes when owners wish to feed a warm (less than 40°C) mash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical Nutritional Analysis:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil: 10.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtein: 15.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibre: 17.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDE: 13.0 MJ\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarch: 11.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalcium (Ca): 1.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnesium (Mg): 0.3%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTypical Ingredients:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoya Hulls (GM), Micronised Linseed Meal, Linseed Expeller, Beet Pulp, Grass, High Fibre Oat By-Product, Oat Bran Flakes, Wheatbran, Flaked Maize, Molasses, Micronised Flaked Peas, Wheatfeed, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Chloride, Dicalcium Phosphate, Magnesium Oxide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Topspec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57906941428093,"sku":"0146650063718","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1235\/3552\/files\/2241_0.jpg?v=1780119682","url":"https:\/\/www.randrcountry.com\/products\/topspec-linseed-mash-20kg","provider":"R\u0026R Country","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
