100 Steam Cooking for one hour Flaking Drying Steam Flaking Finest Ingredients Double Pelleting Pelleting Elimination of the trypsin inhibition Mixing Listen and Improve The PURE NUTRITION Process Our philosophy is simply PURE NUTRITION - the best of natural ingredients for optimum digestion, well being and performance. Quality Control Success Packaging Supply Chain Research & Development We are committed to developing new products and improving our formulas on an on-going basis. We work closely with vets and universities to bring the latest in nutritional technology to our products, and to you our customers. Fresh from the field All our feeds are based on whole grains which are important for the health of the horse. We choose only the finest ingredients including oats, barley, maize, soya beans and Irish grass meal for a naturally balanced feed. Cooked to perfection Our cooking system increases nutritional value, palatability and digestibility for the horse. Our cereals are cooked up to a gelatinization of 84% which we test to ensure maximum nutrient absorption in the horse. The cooking methods are:- Steam Cooking: Each of the grains are steam cooked for up to one hour to produce a naturally delicious and highly digestible flake, for maximum performance and condition of the horse. Double Pelleting: Using a blend of quality whole grains we produce a double cooked pellet that is highly digestible and dust-free, for maximum performance and condition of the horse. Extruding : We use soya beans for their complimentary amino acid profile and oils. Our soya is extruded to improve the quality and digestibility by removing trypsin inhibitor, an anti-nutritional factor that is naturally found in soya beans. Mixing We mix our quality ingredients to suit the needs of the horse, providing a range of natural energy and protein sources. We use sugar cane molasses and soya oil for dust free feeds that are highly palatable. Quality Control Our on site laboratory is a key part in delivering feed of outstanding quality every day. All of our ingredients are tested from harvest to final product, and we use the latest technology including LCMSMS to test for any naturally occurring prohibited substances down to a level of parts per billion.

PURE NUTRITION working hand in hand with nature Little and Often The horse is a herbivore which evolved to graze for around 18 hours every day and has a very small stomach. When stabling a horse it is important to provide plenty of good forage to keep their stomach and digestive system healthy. When feeding concentrates such as cubes, mixes or straight cereals it is important to feed as many small meals a day as possible. The Stomach The stomach naturally secretes acids to begin the break down the food into smaller particles. Grazing grass or eating forages stimulates production of saliva which helps buffer the stomach acid and keep the stomach healthy at an optimum ph. Restriction of forage is one of the key factors in the development of gastric ulcers. A horse should eat a minimum of 1.5% of it s bodyweight in forage ( dry matter) each day. The Small Intestine Cereals, cubes and mixes are digested in the small intestine and provide the horse with energy, proteins, oils, vitamins and minerals. The feed moves through the small intestine in a matter of hours, so it is important to feed a highly digestible feed to get the most nutrition for your horse. All RED MILLS feeds are carefully cooked. We use steam flaking, extrusion and double pelleting to ensure we achieve maximum digestibility in all of our feeds. Our on site laboratory measures the gelatinisation values to ensure the best cooking possible. Our unique process directly benefits your horse through optimum digestion in the small intestine. If the food is not digested properly it flows through to the large intestine where it can cause problems such as laminitis, colics and bad behaviour as undigested particles encourage the growth of bad bacteria and unbalances the digestive system. The Large Intestine Forages and super fibres are digested in the large intestine by bacteria. Forages are not just for satisfying the horses appetite and are a good source of energy and some vitamins. The best sources of fibre for your horse are grass, hay and haylage. In our feed we use Super Fibres which are fibre sources with a higher energy content, such as soya bean hulls and sugar beet pulp which offer an alternative source of energy to cereals. You should always provide good grass, hay or haylage for your horse every day. 4

irl/uk 07 12 Pure Nutrition since 1908 At Connolly s RED MILLS we ve been producing animal feeds since 1908. Five generations of our family business have been intimately involved in developing our unique concept called PURE NUTRITION. Pure Ingredients Connollys RED MILLS horse feeds are made using only highly nutritious ingredients including cereals, super fibres and oils. We do not use lower grade ingredients or fillers. With RED MILLS products you can feed your horse in the most natural way, with small easy to digest meals making for a healthier horse and better performance. Pure Processing The Pure Nutrition concept pervades everything we do. From our unparalled cooking system to our leading quality control protocols, everything we do is designed to maximize the athletic potential of the horse. Cooking Our cooking system increases nutritional value, palatability and digestibility for the horse. Our cereals are cooked up to a gelatinization of 84% which we test to ensure maximum nutrient absorption in the horse. Pure Quality Our state of the art laboratory tests our feeds to ensure they meet our declarations for protein, oils, fibre, ash and vitamins and minerals. Nutritional consistency is essential for the health and performance of the horse. We use Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry to test our feeds for prohibited substances at levels of parts per billion to give you peace of mind. Connolly s RED MILLS is accredited to UFAS ( Universal Feed Assurance Scheme ) and complies with the NOPS ( Naturally Occurring Prohibited Substances) /UFAS Code of Practice. UFAS is a voluntary quality assurance code adopted by some members of the feed manufacturing industry to enhance the quality of products supplied, while complementing EU legislation governing the industry. NOPS/UFAS is a voluntary code of practice designed to minimise the risk of the presence of naturally occurring prohibited substances in horse feeds. Pure Benefits Our range of over twenty products offers a tailor made range that caters for every life stage and level of activity. Simply follow the steps of the stairs which are built on the protein and energy levels to feed your horse according to its specific needs. With our Pure Nutrition process you will benefit from our experience and a range of products which have stood the test of time.
