A protected digestion, even under pressure
- Long strand fibers (hay and dehydrated alfalfa) to stimulate chewing and salivation, the first natural defenses against gastric acidity.
- Alfalfa, a natural buffer, to neutralize stomach acidity.
- Ideal for horses that are sensitive, stressed, or undergoing intensive training.
A stable microbiota for a high-performing horse
- Moderate starch formula (15%), without whole grains, with a contribution via broad bean flakes, an intelligent substitute for cereals.
- A variety of digestible fibers (Equifolia® sainfoin, alfalfa, hay, beet pulp) nourish a balanced gut microbiota. Recent research shows that a diverse microbiota positively impacts mitochondrial function, the true energy engine of muscle cells: a key factor in supporting performance throughout the body.
- Stabilized digestion, a healthy gut microbiota, a horse at its best
Increased omega-3 intake
- Formula enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, essential but often deficient in horses fed mainly on hay.
- Omega-3s play a key role in muscle function, inflammation management, post-exercise recovery and immune support, all crucial parameters for the athletic horse in peak season.
A trio of support for digestive comfort and overall well-being
Like all formulas in the Cheval Nova range, Perle d'Etoile combines a phytogenic core (fennel, fenugreek, chaste tree), a complex of chelated minerals, vitamins and trace elements with high bioavailability, and a selected probiotic.
This trio of support acts in synergy to strengthen digestion, balance the microbiota, support metabolic functions and preserve the horse's overall good condition, day after day.
Distribute in addition to forage, which should remain the basis of the ration (minimum 2 kg of DM / 100 kg of live weight).
Indicative quantities
0.1 to 0.5 kg / 100 kg body weight/day, depending on activity, body condition and other intake.
Instructions for use:
– Can be distributed dry or moistened for greater digestive comfort.
– Introduce gradually over 6 to 8 days when changing the ration.
– Leave clean, fresh water available at all times.
– Adjust the quantities according to the level of work, body condition and season.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Broad beans (extruded & flake)
French protein-rich seed, prepared in two complementary forms for better digestibility.
Broad beans (extruded & flake)
A source of plant-based protein and moderate starch, it provides sustained and reliable energy. A smart alternative to grains for sport horses.
Equifolia® Sainfoin
A forage legume rich in fiber and bioactive compounds, cultivated in the Aube region.
Equifolia® Sainfoin
Promotes intestinal microbial diversity, supports digestion thanks to its richness in natural polyphenols.
Rice bran and puffed rice
Combination of the fibrous outer layer of rice (bran) and the precooked and expanded (puffed) grain.
Rice bran and puffed rice
Provides moderate and digestible energy, with fiber, fatty acids, and natural antioxidants. Promotes a gradual energy intake while diversifying the diet without overloading.
Extruded flaxseed
Extruded oilseed to improve digestibility, rich in essential fatty acids.
Extruded flaxseed
A natural source of omega-3, it contributes to muscle function, inflammation management, coat shine, and joint support. It also improves the energy density of the diet without overstimulating digestion.
Soy flakes (France, non-GMO)
Flaked oilseed and protein crop, highly digestible.
Soy flakes (France, non-GMO)
Source of essential amino acids (especially lysine), for the maintenance of muscle mass.
Yellow pea flake
Flaked protein-rich seed, well tolerated and high in protein.
Yellow pea flake
It diversifies protein intake and contributes to moderate energy coverage.
Phytogenic core
(fennel, fenugreek, chasteberry)
Exclusive combination of plants with digestive, metabolic and antioxidant properties.
Phytogenic core (fennel, fenugreek, chaste tree)
Helps stabilize the microbiota, support liver function, limit oxidative stress and promote the maintenance of a healthy weight.
Levucell® (Saccharomyces cerevisi ae CNCM I-1077)
Stabilized live yeast specifically chosen for its targeted action on the microbiota.
Levucell® (Saccharomyces cerevisi ae CNCM I-1077)
Strengthens beneficial flora, limits digestive imbalances (dysbiosis), improves fiber digestibility and supports intestinal immunity.
Chelated trace elements (Cu, Zn, Se, Mn, I)
Trace elements in organic form, with high bioavailability.
Chelated trace elements
They strengthen immunity, coat quality, tissue resistance (tendons, hooves, muscles) and support enzymatic and hormonal functions.
Other ingredients:
• Alfalfa (pellets & stems): A legume rich in fiber, minerals, and protein, used in compressed form or as long stems. Stimulates chewing and salivation, promotes a natural buffering effect against gastric acidity, and is a source of natural energy.
• Grass fiber: Dust-free blend of ryegrass, fescue, and orchardgrass fibers. Supports digestion and increases chewing time. Source of slow-release, structural fibers.
• Rapeseed oil: Vegetable oil rich in fatty acids. Provides concentrated and well-tolerated energy, ideal for meeting the high needs of sport horses without overloading the digestive system.
• Beetroot sugar: A natural sugar derived from beetroot, used in small quantities. It improves the texture and cohesion of the formula, and facilitates mixing for optimal quality.
• Carob: Dried Mediterranean fruit with a naturally sweet taste. Improves the palatability of the ration, particularly in sensitive or fussy horses, while remaining digestible and naturally low in starch.
• Beet pulp: Soft, fermentable fiber derived from sugar beets. Promotes a balanced gut flora and provides digestible energy without starch.
• Vitamins A, D, E, B1 & biotin: A cocktail of essential vitamins for the horse's overall well-being. Contributes to muscle vitality, immune resistance, energy metabolism, and the health of skin, coat, and hooves. Essential vitamin coverage to support the horse through all the important stages of its life.
• Dried carrot: Dehydrated carrot pieces. Add a touch of natural sweetness
