The amino acid profile is excellent.  It is rich in ‘branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine) and the other essential amino acids crucial for the correct building blocks for muscle tone, body condition and muscle mass.

What is Horse Topline?

The term ‘topline’ is used to describe the muscles which run down the top of the horse’s neck, along the back and over the hindquarters. As true topline consists largely of muscle (as opposed to fat), the two essential ingredients are protein and an appropriate exercise regime.

Why Feed a Topline Horse Feed?

Some forages are low in available protein and a range of amino acids due to a complicated interaction between nitrogen and Sulphur levels in the soil. Many horses benefit from an increase in protein for muscle development.

Extra protein can help with poor topline but also lethargy problems and poor hoof and skin quality. Topline Plus enables you to target supplementation without including extra calories and can suppress overeating from good doer types. Your horse can therefore continue to enjoy ad-lib hay without the added di concerns that feeding more compound feed would entail.

Naturally contains 85.9% protein.

No added sugar.

Provides 75 grams of protein per 100 grams of the product.

Which horses will benefit from the addition of Topline Plus?

• Good doer horses on a reduced hay ratio needing a lower body condition score.
• Horses with poor top-line or body condition that need to build muscle.
• Laminitis prone horses needing a very low sugar and starch protein source due to high sugar sensitivity.
• Older horses which are struggling to maintain top line and body condition score.
• Horses that have access to low protein levels in the forage they are eating, can be determined from a nutritional and mineral analysis of hay or haylage.
• Horses on a pure winter grass diet when protein levels can be low and contribute to hoof and skin issues.
• Horses with poor hoof wall connection and or cracks. Barefoot horses in particular will benefit with stronger soles and white line connection.
• Horses on a heavy exercise program.
• Young horses on a forage-based diet needing protein for optimum growth.
• In foal or nursing mares on a forage-based diet who need high protein requirements

  Feed Rates

  For an average 500 kg horse feed up to 100 grams unless a forage analysis states differently.

  A 75ml scoop contains approximately 40 grams.

  If feeding 100 grams for an average 500kg horse this product should last you 25 days.
