How We GAIN The Advantage
Our Feed Safety and Quality Management Program
We operate a robust feed safety model based on scientifi c HACCP based risk assessment. This system is benchmarked against industry leading practices and certifi ed independently to UFAS (Universal Feed Assurance Scheme) and BETA NOPS Certifi cations.
Our Material Quality Control
Our quality control procedures are a prerequisite to our sourcing, receipt and manufacturing processes. Our internal laboratory capability ensures the integrity and specifi cation compliance of our raw materials and also our fi nished products nutritional specifi cations.
We operate a positive release program, based on risk assessment which includes BETA NOPS requirements. We also implement stringent product quality parameters and we monitor these throughout the shelf life of our products.
Our Raw Materials
We are committed to sourcing only the best raw materials for our equine feeds. Our dedicated ‘Supplier Assurance Programme’ and ‘Agronomy Programme’ ensure that we use only the fi nest ingredients. Our cereal specialists monitor the crops from when they are fi rst sown right through to harvest. We closely evaluate each ingredient and only those that meet our strict criteria are used in our formulations.
At GAIN Equine Nutrition we take great care and attention in formulating and producing only the best in equine nutrition. We constantly strive for higher quality standards in everything we do, from sourcing our raw materials and quality ingredients to the training and development of our expert team. We are a passionate leader, combining our heritage, expertise and strength to ensure your horse consistently receives the very best nutrition.
7GAIN EQUINE NUTRITION
Our Production Process
Our oats and cereals are thoroughly screened and cleaned on entry to our processing facility. Then they are moistened, toasted, rolled and pressure cooked at specifi c temperatures, all to achieve the correct moisture and digestibility level.
In the production of our muesli feeds we use ingredients which undergo processes such as toasting and micronizing.
Toasting offers benefi ts such as increased available energy, improved overall digestibility and also helps to standardise moisture content which increases product quality and shelf life.
Micronizing results in increasing the gelatinisation and improves digestion of starchy grains (e.g. oats, barley and maize) in the small intestine. Micronization converts the starches to sugars and the process greatly enhances palatability and fl avour of the grain. The fi nal product has an appealing and attractive appearance, is dust free, with good colour retention of the natural grain.
Our Balanced Formulations
Our expert team of nutritionists formulate our feeds to suit the digestive system of the horse and to ensure maximum absorption. Our unique formulations contain Alltech’s nutritionally advanced vitamins and minerals; Yea-Sacc®, Bioplex® and Sel-Plex®. These vitamins and minerals work in harmony with the horse to optimise digestion and nutrient uptake.
Our Nutra Lock Guarantee
We pack and seal our products using our Nutra Lock guarantee to ensure the highest quality feed and goodness is delivered to you and your horse as fresh as the day it was packed.
Our Nutra Lock bags are made from a strong foil material and when used in conjunction with our modifi ed atmospheric packaging process protects the safety and quality of the feed throughout its shelf life.
Packed in this way our feed has a shelf life of up to twelve months.
Our Expertise
Our expert team of nutritionists and business managers are dedicated to developing new equine nutritional solutions. We work closely with universities and industry bodies to bring the latest in research, technology and world leading testing methodologies into our feeds. Ultimately the customer’s needs are at the centre of everything we do.
8 GAIN EQUINE NUTRITION
We incorporate Alltech’s nutritionally advanced technologies in our performance horse feeds.
The Alltech equine solutions include Yea-Sacc® live yeast, Bioplex® copper, zinc and manganese, and Sel-Plex® organic selenium.
These products work in harmony with the horse to optimise digestive health and nutrient uptake as well as providing key minerals in their most bio-available form for better absorption and utilisation by the horse.
GAIN & Alltech
Designed to closely match the natural trace elements in forages and grains, Bioplex® minerals nutritionally ‘fi t’ animal metabolism to become more absorbable during digestion and more readily available to meet physiological demands in organs and tissues.
Benefi ts of Bioplex® Mineral Nutrition • Allows the horse to cope with oxidative stress
• Maintains keratin structure for quality hoof horn
• Helps build skeletal tissue in foals
• Supports mare milk quality, which in turn promotes healthy growth in young foals
• Supports tissue and bone strength in foals
Sel-Plex® offers selenium to horses in its natural form. Horses need selenium to support immune response and reproductive function, support exercise tolerance and for overall health. Selenium is added to equine feeds and supplements because their components typically provide inadequate levels. Sel-Plex® maintains high selenium status to meet performance horse demands while preserving a healthy immune response.
Benefi ts of Sel-Plex® • Healthy antioxidant status
• Supports production of quality colostrum and the nutritional status of the foal
• Higher milk selenium content available to foal
• Normal immune function
• Normal reproductive function
• Exercise tolerance
Yea-Sacc® is a live yeast culture based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Benefi ts of Yea-Sacc® • More digestion of fi bre
• More uptake of nutrients
• Maintains a healthy hind gut
• Increases cecal pH*
• Reduces colon acetate production*
• Increases the number of lactate utilsers*
• Stimulates lactic acid-utilising bacteria*

Our Stud Range
The GAIN Stud Range provides a specifi c feed for all stages of reproduction, lactation and growth. This range is designed to cater for foals, weanlings, yearlings, mares and stallions and is scientifi cally formulated to meet their critical nutrient requirements at various stages. Precise feeding of broodmares during gestation and lactation and then of youngstock during growth and development is vital in order to maintain optimal growth, health and well-being.
Key Requirements For Breeding Stock• High quality protein is necessary to ensure optimal skeletal growth and development
throughout gestation, as well as ensuring youngstock have the building blocks for good bone and muscle development during their early life.
• Bio-available trace minerals maximise availability to the horse and are pivotal in ensuring normal bone growth and development.
• Digestible energy sources ensure that the horse’s requirements are easily met during stages of the life-cycle where there is a large demand on the body’s energy reserves, such as during early lactation for the mare, weaning for foals and the breeding season for stallions.
• High levels of Vitamin E nutritionally support the reproductive system.
• A choice of more concentrated feeds is essential when low intakes are required such as for an overweight mare, active breeding stallions and overtopped youngstock.
• Good levels of biotin, methionine and Zinc are necessary to nutritionally maintain healthy hoof growth.
• High fi bre and oil levels are necessary to maintain a healthy digestive system and keep the horse’s coat in good condition.
• Proviox a natural plant antioxidant, is important for supporting Vitamin E utilisation.

Recommended Feeding Practices
• Feed by weight and not by volume.
• Split daily feed into smaller meals and feed at the same time each day.
• Adjust quantities fed according to bodyweight, workload and temperament.
• Make any changes to ration over 5 - 7 days to reduce the risk of digestive upset.
• Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
• Provide a salt lick.
• Do not exercise for at least one hour after feeding.
• Feed good quality forage free from dust and mould.
• Feed at least 1% bodyweight of forage (in dry matter) per day, i.e. 5kg hay (dry matter) for a 500kg horse or provide access to pasture.
• Do not add further vitamin and mineral supplements unless under professional guidance.
• Feed extra electrolytes as required.
• Keep all feeding equipment and utensils clean.
• Follow a good worming programme.
• Check horses’ teeth regularly.
