Start & Go Soft Chunks – Cavalor – 15 Kg

Cavalor Start & Go Soft Chunks to easily eat concentrated feeds independently

Nutritious, tasty and easily digestible soft chunks perfect to teach foals to eat concentrated feeds and prevent growth stops. Ideal for foals that are being weaned at least 1 month before until at least 1 month after weaning

The weaning phase is a stressful period for both mares and foals. The transition from breast milk to a ration of roughage and concentrated feeds is a big step. Cavalor Start & Go Soft Chunks are nutritious and soft chunks that are easily absorbed and digested because of their texture. Because of their high milk powder content, they are very tasty and because of the treatment with heat (extrusion), they are very easy to digest.

Cavalor Nutri-Balance, feed composition for stable growth

Growth requires a lot of energy and nutrients. In addition to the soft chunks that make eating independently easy, the Cavalor Nutri-Balance concept also applies to Start & Go Soft Chunks. So not only a balanced combination of proteins, vitamins and minerals (building blocks) on the one hand, and fats and carbohydrates (energy providers) on the other hand, but also the quality, digestibility and mutual ratios are crucial to prevent growth interruptions.

Cavalor Nutri-Mobility concept for strong bones and flexible joints

Start & Go Soft Chunks contains the Cavalor Nutri-Mobility Mix: an optimal calcium/phosphorus/magnesium ratio supports strong bone growth, supplemented by organically absorbable trace elements - copper, zinc and manganese - contribute to a good development of the musculoskeletal system, i.e. bones, joints and tendons.

Key Features:

• For foals from 2 weeks to 1 year
• Rich in protein
• Heat-treated grains and milk proteins
• Optimal calcium/phosphorus ratio for a gradual growth
• High levels of organicaclly-bound copper, zinc and manganese
• Smooth transition from mother´s milk to feed concentrate
• Optimal intestinal flora

Helps reduce problems with OCD

Nutraceuticals:

Florastimul. The gastrointestinal tract is one of the most sensitive and at the same time largest organs of the horse. A healthy digestive system sees to it that the ingestion of nutrients proceeds smoothly while reducing the risk of colic. This is achieved through proper ration management, which means feeding the horse sufficient amounts of roughage (crude fiber) and nutritional elements that stimulate the way health-promoting micro-organisms operate inside the large intestine. Florastimul (a prebiotic) is a nutrient that can only be used by benign bacteria and stimulates their growth and development. Moreover, Florastimul prevents adhesion to the intestinal wall and inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria. As such, Florastimul supports a healthy intestinal flora, making the horse less susceptible to gastrointestinal upsets.

Artri-Pro. It is a unique copper, zinc and manganese supplement containing each component in optimal proportion. These micronutrients ensure that the joints, tendons, cartilage and skeleton receive a higher level of support than they would from any regular maintenance mixture. These high levels of copper, zinc and manganese are specifically beneficial for younger horses in full growth, older horses, sport horses, mares in foal and lactating mares.

Omega 3. Omega 3 fatty acids not only benefit man but are just as beneficial for horses. In addition to a glossy coat, omega 3 fatty acids offer a wide number of healthful effects. They are immunity stimulants; serve as inflammation inhibitors, and prevent the blood from clotting while prompting improved blood circulation. They also act as a defense against a host of allergies. This unique fatty acid composition supports the general condition of the horse.

Opti Growth, a special element to ensure proper bone, tendon and joint development by supplying the perfect calcium to phosphorus ratio and optimal availability of copper, zinc and manganese. Opti Growth can help reduce issues related to OCD and osteoporosis (porous bones).

Start & Go can be fed as early as of 6 weeks of age. The easiest way is to start the foal on a small amount of Start & Go mixed with Probreed, allowing the foal to eat by its mother's side. After that, simply feed it in a separate crib where the mare cannot reach it with her mouth. Combined with Probreed, Start & Go can be fed up to 2 months past weaning. After that, simply continue on full rations of Probreed.

What is the best way to feed Start & Go?

Start & Go is best mixed with Probreed, which allows the foal to get used to the taste and the hardness of the pellets. As soon as the foal can properly chew and absorb the pellets, switch to feeding only Start & Go poured into a small crib so the foal can feed at will. Make sure, however, that the crib never contains any old or leftover feed, which could acidify.
