Same trusted Builda. Now in a 20kg bag. 💛🖤

You may notice Builda is now available in a 20kg bag instead of 25kg. While the bag size has changed, the trusted Builda formulation remains exactly the same.

The move to a 20kg bag reflects our commitment to the health and safety of both our customers and retail staff. By reducing the bag size, we’re making lifting and handling easier while aligning Builda with the rest of the Mitavite range.

The price has also been adjusted in proportion to the reduction in bag size, so you’re continuing to receive the same trusted nutrition in a more practical and safer format.

If you have any questions about the change, our team is always happy to help.

QUICK TIP TUESDAY | Understanding Energy Sources 💚💛

Not all energy sources are created equal! Understanding how different nutrients contribute to your horse’s diet can help you make more informed feeding decisions.

Fibre: Provides sustained energy through hindgut fermentation.

Fat: A concentrated energy source that supports body condition and provides fuel for exercise.

Starch: Provides readily available energy to help fuel exercise.

Protein: Primarily supports muscle development, growth and tissue repair.

MITAVITE feeds are formulated with different nutritional profiles to suit varying workloads and individual needs.

FORMULA 3®: Combines starch and fat as energy sources to help meet the demands of horses in heavy work.

COOL VITALITY®: A higher-fibre, lower-starch option suited to horses requiring a more controlled starch intake.

Understanding the balance of nutrients in your horse’s feed can help you choose the most suitable option for their workload, condition and individual nutritional requirements.

QUICK TIP TUESDAY | Does More Grain = More Energy for a Racehorse? 🐎⚡

Racehorses have incredibly high energy requirements, so when a horse needs more energy, it can be tempting to simply increase the amount of grain in their diet.

But more grain isn’t always the answer!

Cereal grains are naturally high in starch, and there is a limit to how much starch a horse can efficiently digest in the small intestine in a single meal.

When larger amounts of undigested starch reach the hindgut, they can be rapidly fermented by the microbiome, potentially disrupting the normal hindgut environment and digestive health, which may ultimately impact a horse’s overall health, wellbeing and performance.

So, what should you consider if your racehorse needs more energy?

Don’t just think about how much you’re feeding. Consider:

• Meal size → How much you’re feeding per meal.

• Starch intake → The amount of starch in the diet.

• Roughage intake → Roughage intake as part of the overall diet.

• Alternative energy sources → Other energy sources as part of the overall diet.

Still unsure? 💛

Book a quick nutrition consultation with one of our qualified Nutrition Advisers. We can assess your horse’s current diet, including meal size and starch intake per meal, and help identify alternative energy sources to support increased energy requirements while maintaining digestive health.

QUICK TIP TUESDAY | Are You Feeding by Weight or by Scoop? ⚖️

Did you know that one scoop of feed can weigh differently depending on the product?

Feeds vary in density, meaning a scoop of one feed may weigh considerably more than the same scoop of another!

Here are a few tips to help make sure you’re feeding the correct amount:
• Weigh your horse’s feed → Use a kitchen or feed scale.
• Mark your scoop → Identify the correct amount for each product.
• Check the feeding rate → Always refer to the recommended daily feeding rate on the back of the bag to help ensure your horse receives the intended level of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients for their size and workload.

When changing feeds, remember that the same scoop volume doesn’t always mean the same weight!

If you’re feeding a Mitavite product, we’ve done the hard work for you. 💛 Our yellow Mitavite scoop features weight measurements for our feeds, taking the guesswork out of feeding!

Congratulations Harper & Fizz! 💛🖤

Our September Horse of the Month is the gorgeous Fizz!

Harper and Fizz have grown up together, with Fizz coming into Harper’s life when she was just 10 years old and he was four. Four years on, they’ve built such a beautiful partnership and can now be found flying around 95–105cm showjumping courses together.

Harper describes Fizz as her best mate, an incredible athlete and a horse with a huge, cheeky personality who always keeps her on her toes - and one who absolutely loves his Mitavite too! 🥹

We loved reading their story and hearing just how much Fizz means to Harper.
Congratulations Harper & Fizz, our September Horse of the Month! 💛🖤

QUICK TIP TUESDAY | Keeping Your Horse Hydrated While Travelling 💧

Does your horse refuse to drink water when travelling or attending events?
Some horses can be fussy about unfamiliar water sources due to differences in taste or simply because they aren’t used to drinking from a bucket.

Here are a few tips to encourage your horse to drink while away from home:
• Practise at home → Get your horse comfortable drinking from a bucket before travelling.
• Flavour their water → Introduce a small amount of apple c***r vinegar or molasses to their water at home before your event to help encourage drinking while away.
• Bring water from home → If your horse is particularly fussy, bringing familiar water can help encourage them to drink.

Start offering water in a bucket or introducing flavoured water at least a week before your event to give your horse time to become familiar and comfortable with different drinking options.

Think Mitavite Gumnuts is just for senior horses? Think again!

While Gumnuts® was designed with the needs of older horses in mind, it can also be a great option for poor-doing working horses that require cool-to-medium energy.
When fed at the recommended rate for your horse’s bodyweight and workload, Gumnuts® provides a balanced source of essential nutrients alongside some added benefits.

- Glycosaminoglycans to support healthy joints.
- Quinaquanone®, the constituent in Bonafide®, provides bioavailable forms of vitamins K1 and K2 to support bone health. This may be particularly beneficial for horses with limited access to quality green pasture.
- Added prebiotics to support digestive health.

So, Gumnuts® isn’t exclusively for retired or elderly horses. It can be a versatile feeding option for working horses that need condition and controlled energy too.

For individual feeding advice, visit our website or reach out to the Mitavite Nutrition Team.
