Big Red

Big Red
Big Red is our all‑natural equine energy program designed to meet the horse's energy demand without drowning the gut in grain. One pound of Big Red fed with three pounds of non‑legume hay can replace the grain energy of four pounds of corn, letting you cut grain, protect the hindgut, and still see horses bloom in muscle, bone, and attitude.

Because Big Red supplies a fast‑acting hydrogen‑rich energy source, the horse meets its energy needs without robbing protein for fuel. That preserves amino acids for skeletal growth, topline, and reproductive function. Weanlings and fillies on the program show bigger frames, stronger joints, and visible musculoskeletal advancement in as little as 30 days. Performance horses maintain condition on less grain, with fewer behavior swings tied to starch load and belly acidosis.

The benefits go far beyond calories. By supporting roughage‑loving microbes in the cecum, Big Red helps the horse unlock starches and sugars tied up in forage stems. Horses stay more relaxed, yet ready to work, with improved hoof integrity, fewer bouts of colic, and reduced risk of laminitis linked to excess carbohydrate and lactic acid. From foaling barn to track or arena, the recommended 1 lb per 500 lb of body weight provides a convenient, consistent daily allotment that can be drenched, top‑dressed, or mixed into a complete ration.

For barns that want to push performance even further, pairing Big Red with our Big Red 10‑G Microbial Feed Additive adds a focused probiotic component, supporting gut health and nutrient uptake under training and travel stress. Together, they give veterinarians, nutritionists, trainers, and owners a practical way to help any breed reach its genetic potential-more bone, more muscle, more sound strides-while spending fewer dollars on grain and dealing with fewer metabolic setbacks.
