HYGAIN TRU BREED® is a blend of the following quality ingredients:
Soya Bean Meal, Canola Meal, Lupins, Legume Hulls, Cereals, Rice Bran Oil including Omega 3 essential fatty acids, Di Calcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Salt, L-Lysine, Di-Methionine, Magnesium Oxide, Bio-Available Silicon, Bio-Mos®, Natural Vitamin E, Bio-Available Selenium, HYGAIN® Vitamin and Chelated Mineral Premix.
Special ingredients
Bio-Mos® - Bio-Mos® is a unique form of Mannan Oligosaccharides derived from the outer cell wall of a select strain of yeast using a proprietary process developed by Alltech. Bio-Mos® has a defined mode of action and is incorporated in HYGAIN TRU BREED® to maintain a healthy gut and immune system and support natural defences essential for optimum health and vitality.
Natural Vitamin E - This unique and highly stable form of Natural Vitamin E known as RRR-a-tocopherol is up to 5 times more bio available and potent than regular synthetic sources of Vitamin E. Research has shown that this form of Natural Vitamin E provides higher retention levels in plasma, further aiding antioxidant, immune, cardiovascular, circulatory, neuromuscular and reproductive functions.
Bio-Available Selenium - Selenium acts as an antioxidant to prevent fatty acid oxidation which can cause tissue damage. Research has shown that Sel-Plex®, an organic form of selenium, is more readily absorbed and retained than selenium in inorganic forms.
Bio-Available Silicon - Research has shown that Bio-Available Silicon, a digestible form of monosilic acid has a role in bone physiology and metabolism by increasing osteoblastic (bone building) activity and decreasing osteoclastic (bone demineralization) activity, promoting optimal skeletal growth, integrity and durability.
HYGAIN® RBO® Equine Performance Oil® - HYGAIN® RBO® Equine Performance Oil® is a blend of rice bran oil, omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids and natural anti-oxidants known to improve the health and structural integrity of cell membranes.
Chelated Minerals - Trace mineral chelates offer a more efficient and absorbable method of providing mineral supplementation in horses.

HYGAIN TRU BREED® provides a balance of digestible energy, soluble fibre, quality protein and essential vitamins and minerals with controlled levels of starch (low GI) for optimum digestive health.
HYGAIN®’s controlled moisture and pressure cooking process (extrusion) promotes highly efficient digestion and nutrient utilisation and improved feed safety.
Feeding amount may be influenced by age, breed, gestation and lactation status, work load, desired body condition, pasture/hay quality and availability and climate. Foals may be introduced to HYGAIN TRU BREED® by ‘creep feeding’ from 2-3 weeks of age. HYGAIN TRU BREED® should be fed in conjunction with quality
