Copra meal is the white flesh from the coconut after most of the oil has been extracted. The heating processed used to stabilize the products results in a uniform brown colouration. Copra Easy Pellets have a residual oil content of up to 5%, made up of medium chain fatty acids which provide a ready source of cool energy as well as promoting a shiny coat.
Copra meal is high in fibre but low in starch and sugars so is ideal for horses with metabolic sensitivities such as laminitis.
Copra easy pellets have a minimum protein content of 20% which is especially good for horses on poor quality pasture. Copra Easy pellets can be fed dry or soaked into a wet mash depending on your horses preference.
Copra easy pellets are a suitable supplement to be fed in conjunction with a base feed ingredient such as Maxisoy+ “Super Fibre” Soya hull Pellets as well as a good vitamin and mineral supplement.
