Purina Mills Ultium® Competition Horse Formula

Purina Mills Ultium® Competition Horse Formula is designed for world-class equine athletes, allowing them to compete at their highest levels. Energy demands in the equine athlete are extremely high, so the delivery of that energy becomes paramount. This additional digestible energy must be provided in a manner that maximizes athletic performance. Ultium® Competition Horse Formula delivers a concentrated amount of energy to these working horses, by distributing this energy over several different sources (vegetable oils, beet pulp and a proprietary mix of other sources). Because this feed is energy dense, less feed is required for maintenance of body condition when compared to feeds with lower energy density, such as straight grains. Ultium® Competition Horse Formula delivers mental focus and manageability, quick recovery and muscle repair, prolonged stamina, a strong top line and less digestive upset.




Feed Form: Pellets and Extruded Nuggets

Recommended For:
Competitive equine athletes and other hard-working horses

Features/Benefits:
Sustained Energy System™-Unique blend of three fuel sources-soluble carbohydrates (starch and sugar), fats and fermentable fiber. Seamlessly blends fuel sources to provide a "steady" level of energy. A horse that is mentally focused, controllable and manageable has the best chance of winning


Reduced Starch, Higher Fat-Low starch and high fat may reduce the risk of colic and other digestive disturbances that occur when feeding large quantities of grain. Added vegetable oil smoothes the glucose and insulin response to dietary starch and sugar, leveling out blood sugar levels, resulting in a pronounced "calming effect"


Unique Blend of Soy Oil, Flaxseed and Rice Bran-Provides Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to promote healthy immune function and improve hair, skin and hooves. Ultium® is energy dense, resulting in prolonged stamina and endurance while maintaining the equine athlete in peak competitive condition. Provides a reserve of "cool" energy-on demand


Targeted Nutrition Delivery System™-Transports "repair" nutrients quickly to where they're needed most. Unique amino acid profile and top-quality fuel sources replenish glycogen and protein stores in muscles. Aids in muscle repair with less muscle fatigue for faster "bounce back" and readiness to perform when called upon-competition after competition. It's energy in reserve. Horse is more elastic and fit, stretching out when asked. Promotes muscle tone and a strong top line


Patented Feed Form, High Quality Ingredients-Patented "pellets and extruded nuggets" feed form prevents sorting, reduces waste and improves stability during storage. Easy to transport, feed and store. Highly digestible and palatable, even for finicky eaters under intense stress of competitive exercise. To accommodate a horse's smaller stomach, Ultium® is "nutrient dense," and highly efficient so you feed less. No other nutritional supplementation is necessary


Patented/Proprietary Technology, Most Researched Horse Diet Ever-Represents the culmination of decades of equine research, having been field-tested on hundreds of horses


Highly Fermentable Fiber-Metabolized in the hindgut, this blend of highly digestible fiber sources provide slow-releasing energy, which preserves muscle glycogen. Delivers plenty of fuel with "no bottom" while keeping horse in peak condition. Fiber sources can be critical to the health of the hindgut. When a horse feels better, it's willing to perform at a higher level. Anecdotal evidence in field tests also indicates Ultium® may be beneficial for horses that have a tendency to "tie up"


Vitamins E, C and Selenium-Powerful antioxidants destroy "free radicals" and bolster a healthier immune system, reducing muscle damage. Vitamin E also acts as a natural preservative, which improves product shelf life
Balance of Vitamins and Minerals Including B-Vitamins, Iron, Copper, Calcium, Phosphorus and Magnesium-Blood-building nutrients optimize red blood cell production and increase oxygen capacity in exercising horses. Minerals such as copper are also involved in connective tissue including tendons and cartilage. The proper balance of calcium and phosphorus promotes stronger bones
