Dodson & Horrell Build Up Conditioning Mix – 20kg

Dodson & Horrell Build Up Conditioning Mix – 20kg

A cereal-based conditioning mix at an estimated 12.5 MJ/kg, 13% protein and 5.5% oil, for horses and ponies that have lost weight or are prone to losing it. Condition goes for all sorts of reasons — cold weather, a bare paddock, a stressful move, a step up in work, or something clinical such as worms or poor teeth — and this is the feed for putting it back on steadily rather than in a rush.

The energy is deliberately slow-release, coming substantially from oil and digestible fibre alongside the cereals, so weight goes on without the horse becoming sharp. Added L-lysine supports muscle and top-line rather than just fat cover, and live Actisaf yeast keeps the hindgut working while the ration increases. Results are best when the feed is paired with a sensible exercise programme.

Performance & Benefits

• Estimated 12.5 MJ/kg with 13% protein and 5.5% oil for condition and slow-release energy.
• Added L-lysine promotes muscle condition and top-line, not just fat cover.
• Probiotic live Actisaf yeast supports digestive health and efficiency.
• Fully fortified with vitamins and minerals, so it does not unbalance the ration.
• Dried carrots and molasses keep it palatable for a fussy feeder.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies that have lost, or are prone to losing, weight and condition.
• Horses coming back into work and needing to build top-line.
• Poor doers through winter or after a stressful change of home.
• Can be fed alongside Build & Glow where extra calories are wanted.
• Not suitable for laminitic or starch-sensitive horses — CushCare Condition is the low-starch route to the same goal.

Feeding

• Feed 400g–1kg per 100kg bodyweight per day with free access to forage.
• Do not exceed 1kg per 100kg bodyweight per day in total.
• Divide into at least two to three meals a day.
