Canidae Pet Foods Unveils New Equidae Line of Super Premium Horse Feed at 2010 Alltech FEI World

Sept. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Canidae Pet Foods, ( http://www.canidae.com ) a manufacturer of natural, holistic pet food, has partnered with global animal health and nutrition leader Alltech for the most prestigious and celebrated equestrian competition in the world. The 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, scheduled to take place in Lexington’s 1,200 acre Kentucky Horse Park from September 25 to October 10, will feature world championships in eight equestrian sports.

“We are thrilled to be a part of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games this year,” said Mike DeNunzio of the Canidae Small and Large Animal Division. “Many of our retail partners have been looking for a higher quality equine diet to offer their customers, and this is a great opportunity for us to introduce our new Equidae® line of super premium horse feed. As horse owners ourselves, we understand the important role nutrition plays in the long term health and performance of horses.”

DeNunzio will be on hand at the Equidae Horse Feed ( http://www.equidaefeed.com ) booth to answer questions and discuss the benefits of its two new formulations, Equidae Alfalfa Plus and Equidae Coastal Plus. Both formulations are designed to provide optimum levels of energy for the maintenance and long term health of horses in all classes and age groups. Equidae Coastal Plus is alfalfa free. Unlike textured feeds, both Equidae formulations are produced using the extrusion process.

This advanced steam extrusion processing, together with the highest quality ingredients, provides cool, consistent calories to the horse which is crucial for optimal gastrointestinal health. Extrusion expands the volume of the feed, which in turn increases the nutrient availability. This provides a readily available source of energy while slowing down the eating process and reducing the risk of over-consumption. Dust is also reduced by the extrusion process, and the shelf life of the feed is increased. Although extruded horse feeds take longer to manufacture than other types of feed, they provide the ultimate in nutritional quality.

Horse owners can safely achieve any daily caloric requirement by utilizing good quality forage or pasture combined with either Equidae formula. Both have no added sugars or molasses, are highly palatable, contain skin and coat conditioners, and provide a scientifically formulated balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids. Both formulas also feature guaranteed viable microorganisms, antioxidant vitamins, chelated minerals, and electrolytes.
