The basis of a successful feeding program is understanding the horse's feed requirements and feeding to meet these requirements. Designed for horses of all ages and all activity levels. When fed at recommended rates together with good hay or forage and clean water, Suncrest feed will provide the nutritional requirements for most types of horses. Suncrest Feed is processed from premium quality naturally grown peas and cereal grains including oats, wheat and barley. Pea protein and proteins from cereal grains are nutritionally complementary when properly formulated in feed rations.
Suncrest feed contains NO added fillers and NO chemicals of any kind.
The digestibility of the protein supplied from peas compares to that of soybean meal. The compliment and balance of essential amino acids in peas is considered to be exceptional. Horses require protein for growth, muscle development, skin and hair development, reproduction, lactation and body tissue repair. Lysine is an indispensable amino acid required by all growing horses including weanlings and yearlings. The fibber portion of feed peas contains little lignin and, with the major portion of the fibber existing as a form of hemicellulose and cellulose, the fibber content of field peas is considered highly digestible .
