TopSpec Super Conditioning Flakes are a highly innovative muesli blend that is 25% more conditioning than traditional conditioning mixes and cubes. They consist of cooked, high-oil, naked oats blended with cooked, full-fat soya, and they have an exceptional DE of 16MJ/kg as fed, providing ‘fast-releasing’ energy. As an approximate guide, 1.5kg of Super Conditioning Flakes will replace 2kg of traditional cereals/cereal-based feeds.
Super Conditioning Flakes are cooked to maximise their digestibility and to retain palatability over a long period of time. Rich in intracellular oil*, and with no added liquid oil, the sweetened ‘non-greasy’ flakes are very palatable to optimise feed intake, which is particularly useful when topping-up condition.
*Super Conditioning Flakes are full of naturally oil-rich ingredients. These contain intracellular oil. This is oil that occurs within the cells of a plant. Intracellular oil is a very palatable and highly digestible way of providing oil in the diet.
Because the flakes contain cooked oats as one of their major ingredients, they contain a medium level of starch.
Super Conditioning Flakes are designed to be added to a TopSpec feed balancer or TopSpec All-in-One multi-supplement and therefore contain no added vitamins or trace-elements. That is why we call them a ‘blend,’ because they are a blend of straight raw materials rather than a complete feed.
Salt, 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. For example, feeding Super Conditioning Flakes instead of oats to broodmares should eliminate the need to add a source of calcium, usually limestone.
Super Conditioning Flakes are suitable for:-
- Show horses.
- Horses requiring weight gain but when feed sizes cannot be increased or are already too large.
- Broodmares in late gestation, when their digestive capacity is reduced by the increasing size of their foal.
- Broodmares in early lactation, when the energy demands of the mare are very high and maintaining condition can be difficult.
- Fussy feeders that require increased calorie intake but dislike liquid oil or greasy, high-fat premixes.
