BENCHMARK MICRONISED LUPINS

Benchmark Micronised Lupins

Highly digestible, high protein and fibre topper for any equine diet

• Low starch and sugar
• High in dietary fibre
• Valuable source of essential amino acids
• SUITABLE FOR ALL HORSES

Lupins are a valuable source of protein and fibre that can enhance a horse’s daily
ration. Low in starch and sugar, Benchmark Micronised Lupins are best fed in
conjunction with a balanced ration to boost protein and energy levels and to
help support all bodily functions, including muscle development, topline and
recovery after strenuous exercise.

Feeding Guide

Benchmark Micronised Lupins are a nutritional tool that will boost protein levels in a ration. Depending on size, age, workload, lactation, growth stage etc., horses require between 600gms and 1300gms of good quality protein per day. The feeding rate of Benchmark Micronised Lupins should not exceed 400gms per 100kg liveweight per
day. When fed as part of a balanced ration it is important that you consider the protein contribution and feeding rate from all components of the ration, including pasture and supplementary fibre.

Care should be taken not to exceed recommended daily protein intake. Benchmark Micronised Lupins are ready to feed straight from the bag. No soaking or crushing is required.

Micronisation – Maximising nutrient value and digestibility
The micronising process dramatically improves digestibility and nutrient utilisation in a horse’s small intestine, while preserving the nutritional integrity of the lupin.

Micronisation is a short time, high temperature, patented process using infrared energy to gelatinise the starches, eliminate any antinutritional factors, and lock in the nutrient value of the lupin.
