Muscle Recovery and Repair MFM Pellet was developed in conjunction with Dr. Stephanie Valberg to provide specialized support for muscle recovery and repair in horses with confirmed or suspected myofibrillar myopathy. MFM Pellet contains several important amino acids, including cysteine, a key component in many antioxidants. Also included in MFM Pellet are the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, isoleucine, and valine, all three of which are essential amino acids that must be obtained from the diet. BCAA may be used as a substrate for energy production in skeletal muscle. Research in human athletes has shown that BCAA may stimulate protein synthesis and delay onset of fatigue. MFM Pellet also contains the essential amino acids lysine, methionine, and threonine. Use MFM Pellet to increase the amount of key amino acids and high-quality protein to protect the muscle from oxidative stress and rebuild damaged muscle fibers. MFM Pellet Feeding Directions Consult your veterinarian to see if this product is appropriate for your horse. Top-dress on feed. Divide between two meals. Feed 120 g per meal twice daily. To ensure a successful introduction to MFM Pellet, we suggest taking a gradual approach. The recommended feeding rate is 240 g per day (4 scoops/day), split into 2 scoops twice daily. Starting with less than 1 scoop twice a day and gradually working up to the full amount over the course of 7-14 days is advised. Particularly finicky eaters may benefit from the addition of molasses, applesauce, or sweet feed to improve acceptance. Trainers and managers should adhere to the regulations set forth by specific racing jurisdictions prior to using any feed additives or supplements. HISA Compliance How often should you reorder? Serving size Number of horses Reorder every 240 g/day 1 5 weeks 2 3 weeks Product Characteristics MFM Pellet has a strong, distinct smell that is characteristic of concentrated amino acids and N-acetyl cysteine. A blend of natural and artificial flavors is added to improve the smell and taste of the product. Regardless of the smell, the horses at Kentucky Equine Research consume it readily during palatability trials. If you have followed these recommendations and the horse refuses to eat MFM Pellet, please contact the KER Customer Care Team at [email protected].
