New "Cool & Collected" from Allen & Page

I changed mine onto fast fibre and I was happy with it last winter, just wonder if he could do with a "bit more" of something. Do allen and page do visits from their nutritionalists ? For years I have fed "by eye" and although mine look good you always wonder , well i do anyway !
 
Hmmmm....I feel that A&P are one feed company that has really NOT grasped the whole low starch ethos. C&C is 20% starch, no idea how much sugar, wonder what this will be? Barley and molasses are not the enemy for most horses as much as overall starch levels are.

Anyone wanting a nutrionalist I'd recommend the Top Spec peeps, they're brilliant, and multi award winning!

I can't agree with that at all, their older range is probably one of the worst offenders for starch, but the newer feeds they are coming out with are totally different. I had a look at the spec for this new mix earlier on today when I got the newsletter email, it is stated to be 7.75% starch and 2.9% sugar - not far off the magic 10% overall figures at all. I do wish they would put a full list of ingredients on the website though, would make life so much easier!
 
I haven't used it but have mine on veteran vitality and he has never looked or felt better, he hoovers it up :)

Hasn't got much starch in this one either 10%
 
It sounds fab! I managed to find the list of ingredients online and they were fine.

I would really like the try it but my horse looks and feels so good on HiFi, fibre nuts and balancer I'm loathed to change...

I do like that the C&C is a wet feed again, I think that's good especially if we have another snowy winter, good to prevent impactions.

No it doesn't - R&R is considerably higher in starch and sugar (15% starch 5% sugar) than Cool & Collected.

This is what i'm saying, it 'SOUNDS' the same, easy for a novice to buy the wrong one thinking it will give them a cool & collected horse or a relaxed one.
Personally i think a lot of these brand names are deceiving, especially to beginners.
