MMF Micronized Flaked Barley 25kg is a high quality micronized barley. Micronized barley has special implications where small intestine amylase production is low (young livestock, companion animals, horses) and where hind gut production of short chain fatty acids are undesirable. All species benefit from increased productivity - improved growth and production and improved feed conversion. Gelatinised starch has significantly greater susceptibility to amylase degradation than raw starch; gelatinised starch disappears at an increased rate from the rumen - both as bypass carbohydrate and due to microbial utilisation; ileal digestibility is greater than raw starch, across species, and less starch is available for hind gut fermentation. Suitable for all diets where barley is normally included. Recommended for high performance diets and young animal diets/small pets etc. Suitable for horses. Particularly useful in young animal diets, but ideal for any age.

When setting up a vivarium for your gorgeous Gecko, it is important that his new surroundings reflect his natural environment as near as possible. The ProRep Leo Life is perfect for using as substrate for desert species such as Leopard Geckos as it mimics the sandy soil more typical of desert habitats. Geckos enjoy foraging and digging and this substrate will provide a realistic habitat for them. It is a blend of soil and sand which is ideal for this natural behaviour. In the wild, Geckos enjoy areas of high humidity, under rocks or down burrows which aids hydration and shedding. When the Leo Life is sprayed with water or water is sprayed under hides, this provides the Gecko with an area of humidity where he may spend the day or night. Ensure you have the correct substrate for your type of pet as some reptiles prefer a more dry environment and need substrate that reflects this. Directions: ProRep Leo Life is used on the floor of wooden or glass vivariums in exactly the same way as any other substrate. Spread over the base of the vivarium to the required depth using rocks or wood to create an interesting landscape and different depths of substrate. If you are using living plants in your setup then it is best to keep the plants in their pots and then conceal the pots using decor. When spraying Leo Life to create areas of humidity, then a deeper layer of substrate in these areas will help aid moisture retention. Do not over-water the substrate and avoid electrical equipment. Leo Life should be spot cleaned daily, removing faeces along with the substrate around it and replacing it with a small amount of fresh substrate. With daily spot cleaning it is only necessary to completely replace the substrate every 8 weeks, or it if becomes soiled or wet. N.B. If a heat mat is used under your tank then you should not use more than 1cm of Leo Life as more than this may cause the mat to overheat. Size: 10L

CoolCondition Cubes provide 'Non-Heating' but conditioning calories and are ideal for horses that need condition without 'fizz.' CoolCondition Cubes are designed to be added to a TopSpec feed balancer or supplement and therefore contain no added vitamins or trace-elements. That is why we call them a 'blend,' because they are a blend of straight raw materials rather than a complete feed. Adjusting the rate at which CoolCondition Cubes are fed will have no effect on vitamin and trace-element intake as these are supplied by the balancer used. One of the ways in which CoolCondition Cubes are superior to most straights however, is that they have been supplemented with the major minerals calcium, sodium and magnesium. For example, feeding these cubes instead of cooked barley/sugar beet/alfalfa, to working horses reduces or eliminates the need to add salt. CoolCondition Cubes combine the brilliant properties of being seriously cool and seriously conditioning, this is a very rare combination. They are formulated without the use of any cereals, so they are not just 'oat-free' or 'barley-free' but completely cereal-grain-free. At the same time they have a good conditioning index of 12.5MJ/kg, equivalent to most cereal-containing conditioning compound feeds. The formula is very low in sugar and starch and high in fibre.
