Youngstock Pellets

For the Healthiest Start
Advanced nutrition foals and yearlings

SPILLERS® Youngstock Pellets are small, highly palatable pellets which are easy for foals to eat. They are suitable for growing youngstock from two weeks of age to two years. Formulated with controlled starch levels to support digestive health and behaviour.

Benefits of all three SPILLERS® Stud feeds

  • Added immune support:

    Vitamin C and ingredients rich in glutamine are added to support the immune system particularly at times of stress. Stress is significantly increased during weaning which can affect the immune system of the young foal. Vitamin C has been shown to support the immune system and therefore may be beneficial at this time.

    All feeds contain high levels of Vitamin E which is proven to support the transfer of passive immunity via the mare’s colostrum to the foal. This will help ensure the best possible start by supporting young foals in their early weeks of life.
  • Formulated to support digestive health with live yeast and ingredients to encourage butyrate production which is important in the development and health of the digestive tract.
  • Optimal levels of lysine, methionine and threonine for exceptional muscle and topline development. Research has shown that it is protein quality that is important in driving optimum growth with lysine and threonine identified as being the most important amino acids.
  • High levels of folic acid to support increased requirements during pregnancy, lactation and growth.
  • A high specification of vitamins and minerals including chelated trace elements are incorporated to support overall well being and fertility
