Pure Performance – 15kgPure Performance is the highest-energy feed Pure make and the only one in the range built on cereal grain. Bruised oats supply fast-release energy while rapeseed oil and linseed supply slow-release energy, giving 12 MJ/kg — enough for racing, eventing and upper-level competition work, where a fibre-and-oil feed cannot keep both weight and power on a horse.That performance comes from starch. At 23%, Pure Performance carries roughly ten times the starch of Pure Condition Mix, and it is the one feed in this range that is emphatically not for a metabolic horse. It is BETA NOPS and UFAS certified, so it is safe under competition prohibited-substance rules, but it is a feed for horses in genuinely hard work and nothing else.Performance & Benefits 12 MJ/kg digestible energy, the highest in the Pure range. Bruised oats for fast-release energy alongside 8% oil for slow-release stamina. 21% fibre, so the cereal load sits on a fibre base rather than on its own. Built-in balancer supplying vitamins, minerals and trace elements. BETA NOPS and UFAS certified for competition use. Free from molasses, alfalfa, soya and nutritionally improved straw. Suitable For Racehorses in training and horses eventing or competing at a high level. Horses in hard, fast work that cannot hold condition on fibre and oil alone. Horses needing both immediate power and stamina from the same ration. Competition yards needing a feed certified under BETA NOPS and UFAS. Not suitable for laminitic, EMS, PPID or ulcer-prone horses, or for good doers — Pure Easy, Pure Fibre Balance and Pure Working cover those, and Pure Condition Mix at 2% starch is the low-starch way to add weight. Feeding Feed 400–600g per 100kg bodyweight per day — 2–3kg for a 500kg horse. Split the daily ration across at least two and preferably three feeds; large cereal meals are the principal risk at this starch level. Match the amount to the work actually being done, and cut it back on rest days. Introduce gradually over 10–14 days. Feed with generous forage and fresh water available at all times. Composition & Analysis Composition: bruised oats, grass chaff, oatfeed pellets, wheatfeed, vitamins and minerals, sunflower extract, dark distiller grains, rapeseed oil, linseed lozenges, full fat linseed meal, salt, unmolassed sugarbeet, di-calcium phosphate, fructo-oligosaccharides and limestone flour. Digestible energy 12 MJ/kg. Protein 13%. Oil 8%. Fibre 21%. Starch 23%. Naturally occurring sugar 4%. Calcium 0.9%. Phosphorus 0.4%. Magnesium 2.1 g/kg. Salt 0.7%. Certified under the BETA NOPS scheme and UFAS. Care & Caution Starch is 23%. At the top of the feeding range a 500kg horse receives close to 700g of starch a day, so this feed is not suitable for horses with laminitis, EMS, PPID, insulin resistance or a history of gastric ulcers. Keep individual meals small. Starch that outruns small-intestine digestion passes into the hindgut, where it can cause acidosis and colic. Pure note it may not suit excitable horses; the fast-release element is real and will show in some. Cut the ration back on days off while keeping forage the same.
