Folium Feeds
Higher Protein & Lysine than Rolled Barley
Certified organic superfood for horses, our Folium Feed takes equine nutrition to the next level. We’ve developed a superior equine feed from our organic green leaf barley powder.
Benefits of Folium Feeds to Horses
Laboratory analysis of our equine feed has shown many nutrients are present in higher levels than in standard rolled barley:
- Double the protein of rolled barley through higher lysine amino acid levels
- Higher plant-based fats
- Higher levels of calcium, chlorine, potassium and sulphur
- Higher fibre levels
Our Folium Feeds is an ideal addition to ensure a complete formula for an equine diet. Our clients notice Increased body weight and condition scores in comparison to gains made by rolled barley alone.
Fat from plant origins is a useful energy source and high fibre is important to horses, which obtain most of their energy from hindgut fermentation of fibre. The bacteria which perform this breakdown produce vitamins as by-products. These are important in maintaining skin and coat condition.
Lysine is an essential amino acid within horse feeds, conventionally obtained from lucerne meal. It's required to aid abundant levels of protein in the diet. Particularly important for the growth and development of young horses.
