High Energy Without Added Grains

Trojan CalMax is formulated to provide a high level of dietary energy without added grains.

This makes it particularly useful for horses requiring additional calories where owners want to avoid a conventional grain-heavy ration.

The slow-release energy profile is intended to provide sustained dietary energy rather than relying primarily on rapidly available cereal starches.

Low-Sugar Formulation

CalMax is specifically formulated to be low in sugar and contains no added molasses.

This can make it a useful option when selecting feeds for horses that require careful management of dietary sugar.

For horses with diagnosed metabolic or endocrine conditions, including PPID (Cushing's disease), insulin dysregulation or a history of laminitis, suitability should be assessed in the context of the horse's complete ration with a veterinarian or qualified equine nutrition professional.

High in Omega-3 Oils

Trojan CalMax contains high levels of Omega-3 oils.

Dietary oils provide a concentrated source of energy and can help increase the calorie density of a horse's ration without relying solely on cereal grains.

Omega-3 fatty acids also contribute to the horse's overall nutritional intake as part of a correctly balanced diet.

12% Protein

CalMax provides 12% protein.

Protein supplies amino acids required for normal body functions, including the maintenance of muscle and other tissues.

The overall protein and amino-acid requirements of the individual horse will depend on factors including body weight, age, workload and the rest of the diet.

Horses Requiring Controlled Energy Sources

The manufacturer also positions CalMax for horses where conventional high-grain feeding may be undesirable, including horses with a history of tying-up problems.

Because tying-up can have different underlying causes, horses experiencing recurrent episodes should be assessed by a veterinarian and their complete feeding and exercise programme reviewed.

Ideal For

• Horses requiring a high-energy ration.
• Horses needing additional dietary calories.
• Working horses.
• Horses requiring additional condition.
• Horses where a low-sugar feed is preferred.
• Horses on no-added-molasses feeding programmes.
• Owners looking to avoid added grains.
• Horses where slow-release energy is desirable.
• Horses requiring an alternative to conventional grain-heavy feeds.

Feeding Guide

Feed according to the horse's:

• Body weight.
