We believe that every horse deserves the best care and nourishment. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond our products to our practices, ensuring sustainability and ethical sourcing in everything we do. Each bag of DEMETER horse feed represents our unwavering dedication to quality and the trust that horse owners place in us.
OUR MICRONIZING ADVANTAGE
Micronizing is an infra-red cooking process used to improve the digestibility of grains for horses.
A combination of moisture, heat and physical pressure is used to change the structure of starch (in a process known as gelatinization) and protein in the grains to improve their digestion in the horse’s small intestine. Grains digested in the horse’s small intestine provide the horse with greater nutritional value and don’t cause the diseases associated with grain overload into the hindgut.
DEMETER is the only Western Australian feed company to have a purpose built, equine-only feed micronization plant.
Because Micronized Grains are digested in the small Intestine they do not cause the behavioural problems associated with the hindgut fermentation of uncooked grains.
Micronized grains are suitable for:
Performance & working horses
Pleasure & pony club horses
Horses that need to gain weight
Growing horses & spellers
Aged horses or finicky eaters
Stud stallions & mares in or with foal
Horses in show or sale preparation
