We aim to simplify horse feeding with convenient, low-sugar, vitamin-enriched hay—no soaking required and consistent nutrition guaranteed.
Our science-based, pre-treated forage promotes equine health while saving time for owners.
Through our process we significantly reduce bacteria, dust and NSC content, achieving NSC in the safe zone for EMS.
All our citrus Equizest product’s are developed alongside our healthy hay initiative. Equizest supplements and products can be also be added as a low-sugar healthy hay topper. Equizest products added to healthy hay increases flavonoids and palatably.
Equizest peel powders are a bio-waste product in conjunction with The Limery – Wairoa NZ. Our circular biogenic approach supports environmental sustainability and circular bio-economy.
