OUR PROCESSING METHODS EXPLAINED!

Depending on the processing method, the feed may look different varying from pellets to flaked grains and extruded nuggets, but is this just for aesthetic reasons or are there nutritional purposes? What does processing actually mean and why is it beneficial for my horse? All these questions will be

answered in this short article, highlighting the three main processing techniques we use here at the HYGAIN equine-only feed mill, its differences and various benefits.

What exactly is processing? Per se, processing refers to a series of operations performed for a specific result. In the case of grains we process or treat them by mechanical (rolling, grinding),

thermal (roasting, micronizing) or thermo-mechanical (flaking, extruding) methods into dry or wet (steam flaking, pelleting, extrusion) conditions in order to improve the ingredients’ digestibility. Note that the processing of feed is not to be confused with human “processed foods” which implicate fast food, additives, preservatives, etc.

Why process grains?

The horse’s digestive system will thank you for it. Factors affecting starch digestion include the level of intake, the actual ingredient (e.g. oats, barley, maize) and how the grain was processed. The processing of grains is applied to maximize the small intestine digestibility of the grain in order to reduce the risk of digestible disorders while increasing the nutritional value of the feed. The higher the digestibility of the grain, the more glucose and energy will be absorbed in the small intestine.

Pelleted, extruded or micronized?

In general, thermal processing (e.g. pelleting, micronizing, extruding) involves heat, which is used to “pre-digest” the grains. The heat acts in the same manner as natural digestive enzymes to break down the complex carbohydrate bonds of the grain starch (i.e. gelatinize), which increases the availability of nutrients such as glucose in the small intestine.

In the pelleting process, the ingredients are ground and then steam-heated to 80-90°C (176-194°F) for about 20 seconds. Next, the mash is pushed through a pellet die of the desired size, cooled, and dried to prevent mold growth. With forage pellets, the forage is first dehydrated before being processed. As pellets are cooled, moisture content is also reduced.

The extrusion process begins with the grinding and mixing of ingredients such as grains, oil and fiber sources. The resulting mash is cooked using a combination of high temperature steam and pressure. This process involves pushing the mash through an extruder–a steel cylinder–where the mix is rotated under increasing pressure. The end product then emerges from the extrusion die, where it is cut into small cubes or nuggets, expands and “pops”, much like a kernel of corn. These cubes or nuggets are then cooled down before being bagged. Due to the higher temperatures and added pressure, gelatinization of starches is even more complete through extrusion than through pelleting. Extruded products provide the additional benefit of transforming into a soft mash when water is added, ideal for horses with poor dentition such as senior horses.

During the micronizing process, the grain is heated using infrared heat until all moisture is vaporized (generally less than a minute). This ruptures the endosperm of the grain, leading the grain to become soft and pliable, causing the reconfiguration of the starch structure (gelatinization). Immediate flaking further gelatinizes the starch so as to significantly enhance the digestibility and nutritional value the feed.

Micronized grains – starch gelatinazation

Research shows that the starch in micronized grains can be up to 95% digested in the horse’s small intestine whereas the starch in whole, cracked or steam-rolled cereal grains such as barley or maize is only 20-40% digested.

Micronized grains can be up to 95% digested in the horse’s small intestine

TOP FEEDING TIPS

Introduce any new hard feed, roughage or supplement to your horse’s diet gradually over a 7-14 day period.

Make sure to weigh your horse’s feed and not solely use volume.

Feed a minimum of 1.5% of your horse’s body weight daily as roughage.

Horses have a small stomach, so feed little and often, no more than ~4.5 lb of hard feed per meal.

Ensure horses have access to clean water at all times.

BONAFIDE® contains Quinaquanone®, a patented and bioavailable form of Vitamins K1 and K2. Vitamins K1 & K2 have a critical effect on the function of osteocalcin, the bone protein that binds mineral and protein in the bone together. Without sufficient Vitamin K the binding process is incomplete and low density or defective bone and cartilage are produced.

Vitamins K1 & K2 are naturally available in fresh, growing, green pasture but they are highly unstable, being degraded by UV light or wilting. Horses that do not have constant access to high quality pasture are likely deficient in Vitamin K, leading to a reduction in bone density and strength. Horses removed from a Vitamin K rich pasture and brought into a stall/pen regime have demonstrated a reduction in bone density within 7-10 days.

PERFORMA 3®

A UNIQUE BLEND OF OMEGA-3 RICH OILS HIGH IN EPA, DHA AND ALA’S

In many equine diets the Omega-3:Omega-6 ratio is out of balance, affecting the wellbeing and performance of the horse. Omega-3 oils are a group of unsaturated fatty acids that cannot be produced by the horse. To benefit from these oils they need to be supplemented in the diet.

For the Omega-3 oil to be utilized effectively and efficiently it should contain the valuable longer chain fatty acids, Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). These Omega-3 fatty acids are only found in fish oil.

PERFORMA 3® contains fish oil, allowing the horse to derive the full benefits of the oil immediately. Plant sources of Omega-3 oils contain Linolenic acid that needs to be converted to EPA and DHA before it can be utilized by the horse. PERFORMA 3® is a rich, natural source of Omega-3, -6 & -9 fatty acids. By combining Omega-3 rich vegetable and fish oils with added garlic, PERFORMA 3® contains high levels of usable EPA, DHA and ALA’s.

Why use Hygain® REGAIN® ?

When horses sweat, they lose significant amounts of electrolytes including sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Excessive electrolyte depletion can cause muscle fatigue, muscle damage and dehydration resulting in poor performance and conditions such as hyponatremia, hypochloraemia, and alkalosis.

REGAIN® is a concentrated blend of five key electrolytes, developed specifically to replenish the horse, supporting body and muscle functions.

REGAIN® is suitable for all climates and conditions and levels of equine sports and disciplines.

Available in 11 lb (167 doses) and 44 lb (667 doses).

Directions for use. It is recommended to feed daily requirements over several feedings during the day. REGAIN may be used in conjunction with a salt block or loose salt in the feed.

Certain fungi found on fresh pasture grasses, conserved roughage (hay, straw) and in grains can produce secondary compounds called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins may contaminate feeds or grains and are hard to detect due to their odorless, tasteless and invisible presence. The horse’s digestive system is sensitive to the effects of mycotoxins, as the gastric juices in the stomach cannot effectively deactivate the mycotoxins and these therefore enter the sensitive small intestine and hindgut. Once mycotoxins reach the hindgut they may affect the intestinal wall or enter the horse’s blood stream, which can result in respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological and reproductive issues. SAFEGUARD EQ ® may be of benefit to horses exhibiting one or more of the following symptoms: Stringhalt, aggressive or unruly behaviour, hypersensitivity / ‘girthiness’, poor coat quality, diarrhea and poor conditioning. Available in 14.8 oz pouch (14 doses), 2.65 lb pouch (40 doses), 8.6 lb tub (130 doses), and 39.7 lb tub (600 doses).
