Safe 'n EasyTM  "Bighead"

A complete feed with added MDCP and Calcium Carbonate for Horse and Ponies in Subtropical Climates

Meets the special needs of Horses and Ponies grazing in Northern Climates.

  • Safe ‘n Easy Bighead Blend is designed for horses and ponies that graze pastures that contain a compound called oxalate.
  • Oxalate is found in large amounts in the sub-tropical pasture species like Buffel grass, Setaria, Kikuyu, Green panic, Para grass, Pangola grass, Guinea grass, Signal grass and Purple pigeon grass.
  • Balanced Minerals and Vitmins to optimize health and performance with added MDCP and Calcium Carbonate.

Safe ‘n Easy Bighead Blend contains extra MDCP and Calcium Carbonate for Nutritional balance in Sub tropical climates

 To prevent Big Head disease you need to make sure you put enough calcium in your horse’s diet to overpower the oxalate or phosphorous’ ability to bind the calcium in you horses gut. Feeding a high calcium feed specially designed for horses grazing tropical pasture (such as Safe’n Easy Bighead Blend), or adding calcium supplements like limestone and monodicalcium phosphate to your horses feed will ensure your horse receives enough calcium to assist in avoiding Big Head.

It is important to carefully balance your horse’s diet to ensure you are maintaining a good balance of all nutrients in the diet. Safe’n Easy Bighead Blend was developed by Equine Nutrition Australia, and is suitable for all classes of horses engaged in various types of exercise.

Directions For Use

Safe'n Easy Bighead Blend should be used to supplement good quality Lucerne Hay and grazing pasture.

Feed approximately 1% of bodyweight of the horse per day (i.e. 15 hh 400kg horse = 4kg's per day). This may vary with each horses work rate and or condition, and other available sources of food. You can add further Oaten Chaff to Safe ‘n Easy Bighead Blend but this will decrease the Vitamin and Mineral intake.

We recommend this feed should be dampened and mixed thoroughly before use. I.e. For every 4 scoops of feed, add 1 scoop of water. Should be Damp and Crumbly when fed. For specific advice, please don't hesitate to call us on 1300 781 244 anytime.
