Invest

When our nutrition team started the development of Benchmark Invest^® the overarching aim was to provide nutrition that was not only good enough to support the horse being fed, but to provide support for the future.

For an in-foal mare this is the development and nourishment of her foal through to weaning; for the weanling or yearling it is to support the upcoming periods of rapid growth and development and for a weary and muscle fatigued equine athlete it is to rebuild and replenish body condition and lean muscle mass.

To succeed in this goal takes a holistic approach to equine nutrition. Inclusions must go well beyond providing carbs and protein. When formulating Benchmark Invest^® our nutritionists looked at the gut microbiome, fibre and fat requirements, amino acid profiles across all body tissues, vitamin and mineral balances and nutrient availability and digestibility.
