The benefits of whey protein for horses

Some forages are low in available protein due to a complicated interaction between nitrogen and sulphur levels in the soil. Our grass fed whey protein enables you to target extra protein supplementation without including extra calories.  Your horse can therefore continue to enjoy ad-lib hay without the added calorie concerns that feeding more concentrates would entail.

This grass fed whey protein for horses is a rich source of protein concentrate from vegetarian sweet cheese, sourced directly from the world’s leading whey protein manufacturers. Having the highest Biological Value (BV) of any known protein, whey protein concentrate contains high levels of both essential and non-essential Amino Acids.

The manufacturing process utilises a unique combination of membrane filtration technology and drying at low temperatures and pressure. This ensures gentle separation and concentration of the protein and retains its natural function and high nutritional value to give a high-quality whey protein concentrate.

This Whey Protein for horses provides 82g of protein per 100g (dry basis), is low in fat and lactose and is rich in calcium. It is an excellent source of essential amino acids and contains one of the highest proportions of branched-chain amino acids found in natural protein.

Traceability is a key part of our quality monitoring process and to aid this process we source only grass fed, human-grade whey protein.

Additional Information

The cattle graze on grass for most of the year. However, in the winter months, when weather conditions become harsh, they are sheltered in sheds and provided with a combination of silage (harvested grass), hay, and cattle cake. All winter feed is guaranteed to be free from GMOs, added hormones, and antibiotics.

The dairy raw material used to manufacture this product is heat treated for at least 15 seconds at a minimum temperature of 72°C during the process.
