Patriot® Performance Horse Feed Product Number A Fortified Feed for Mature Horses and Broodmares Product Positioning A source of energy that does not contribute to metabolic and digestive disorders and developmental orthopedic disorders (DOD) is a long-awaited breakthrough for the horse industry. ADM’s Fortified Feeds utilize vegetable fats and fermentable fiber sources to provide higher energy, lower starch formulations, which decrease the risks of digestive and metabolic disorders. Fortified Feeds are formulated for today’s performance horses using the latest scientific data. Fortified Feed products utilize GROSTRONG® Minerals along with high-quality, multiple sources of protein, quality grains, fermentable fiber sources, and added vegetable fats to provide balanced nutrition for horses. Forage First® programs combine good-quality forage, GROSTRONG vitamin-mineral products, and Fortified Feed products to produce balanced total rations. With this combination of feeds, horses can be healthy and perform at their best when fed less grain than they would receive from traditional horse rations. Consequently, horses are at less risk of metabolic and digestive disorders and DOD that may result from high-starch intake. Where forage supplies are limited or of poor quality, choose one of the complete feeds in the Fortified Feed line-up of products. Patriot Performance, a Fortified Feed, is a key component of the Forage First program. Patriot Performance is a feed specifically designed for mature performance horses and broodmares Product Description Patriot Performance is a fortified, high-quality, palatable, pelleted feed, which provides 14% protein and no more than 20% fiber. Select ingredients, consistent formulation Ensures product consistency and dependable nutrient sources. Higher energy, lower starch formulation The use of vegetable fat sources and digestible fiber sources results in a feed with a lower starch content, which may help decrease the risk of digestive disorders. Feeding rate is lower for higher energy feeds compared with grain-based feeds. Highly digestible, fermentable fiber Lowers the starch content of the diet, which is favorable for the equine digestive system, while at the same time provides energy in a form utilizable by the horse. Fiber sources used contribute significantly to digestible energy content of this feed. Provides high-quality protein Recommended amounts to meet needs. Contains GROSTRONG Minerals Provides 28 major minerals, trace minerals, vitamins, and electrolytes (includes salt) to ensure horses receive nutrients in correct amounts and ratios needed for maintenance, growth, reproduction, and performance. Zinpro®* Availa®* copper, manganese, Complexed mineral sources are more readily available compared with inorganic and zinc (complexed minerals) sources, which could be crucial to stressed horses and may also provide health benefits such as immunity, skeletal growth, and hoof integrity. Provides CitriStim® ADM proprietary feed ingredient that may favorably impact the gut microbial An population and body defense mechanisms. Provides Prosponse® yeast Studies have shown yeast enhances feed palatability, digestibility, and hindgut fermentation. Portion of vitamin E is natural-source Protects body tissues from oxidative damage. Vitamin E is vital to immune system functioning and may be especially important for working horses as they are more prone to exercise-induced muscle damage. Research shows natural-source vitamin E is more bio-available compared with synthetic vitamin E. Pellet form Better nutrient digestibility and absorption; easy to feed and reduces feed waste. Highly palatable Encourages feed consumption. *Not trademarks of ADM.
