Purina Ultium Growth
Features & Benefits
Sustained Energy System®
A unique blend of three fuel sources to provide a steady level of highly digestible energy for developing and growing foals: soluble carbohydrates, fats and fermentable fiber
Targeted Nutrition Delivery System
Transports repair nutrients where they’re needed most. The balance of nutrients supports proper joint and long bone maturity to set the stage for the young athlete to start off right and continue on the correct path to competition.
Backed by Over Four Years of Research
Including measuring growth curves, body condition, joint health, activity levels and blood work in young, growing horses
Purina® Amplify® High-Fat Nugget
A proprietary blend of vegetable oils, flax seed and rice bran helps promote balanced immunity, smooth growth rates and shiny coats
Optimized Amino Acid Profile
Includes essential amino acids Lysine, Threonine and Methionine and branched chain amino acids to support muscle development and growth
Highly Digestible Fibers
Including beet pulp and soy hulls provide fermentable fiber to the hindgut for a slow-release calorie source that helps support weight maintenance and consistent lactation in broodmares and steady growth in young, growing horses.
Added Vitamins and Minerals
Including Copper, Zinc, Calcium and Phosphorus in essential ratios and quantities to help assure proper fetal stores during gestation, milk levels during lactation and tissue concentrations for continued growth
Added Antioxidants
Including Vitamins E and Selenium help support cellular metabolism and a strong immune system
Controlled Sugar and Starch
With higher levels of fat and digestible fiber may help reduce the risk of hindgut disturbances associated with high starch feeding practices
Nutrient-Dense Blend
With Pellets and Purina® Amplify® High-Fat Nuggets is highly palatable and highly digestible for young horses and broodmares
Concentrate Feed
Designed to be fed with hay or pasture
Description
NEEDS OF BROODMARES & GROWING HORSES
MARE IN FOAL
Ultium® Growth Horse Formula contains a concentrated calorie delivery system that supports the mare through all stages of gestation, with more total calories from added fat and fiber and lower sugar and starch. Lower feeding rates help support digestive health during this essential time.
Your foal’s best start begins with proper fetal development. Ultium® Growth Horse Formula provides research-determined amounts of nutrients, including copper and zinc for developing fetal liver stores to set the foundation for correct growth.
LACTATION/SUCKLING FOAL
Suckling foals may nurse up to 80 times per day. Ultium® Growth Horse Formula provides additional milk components to support immune function, calorie, and nutrient transfers to active, growing foals.
Lactating mares can require over 35,000 kcal/day to produce adequate milk and maintain body condition. The concentrated calorie delivery system of Ultium® Growth Horse Formula provides the necessary calories during this critical period for both mare and foal sustenance.
WEANLING/YEARLING
Ultium® Growth Horse Formula helps support strong bone development by using high-quality nutrient sources. Amino acids, vitamins and minerals are supplied in optimal amounts and ratios as determined by research studies to provide the necessary building blocks for bone growth.
Young growing horses need carefully-balanced nutrition for optimal muscle development to grow into successful athletes. The protein quality and amino acid fortification of Ultium® Growth Horse Formula supports in the foundation, maturation and maintenance of healthy muscle.
