Special Ingredients
YEA-SACC®
Yea-Sacc®1026 – is a live yeast culture derived from the specific yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1026. Yea-Sacc®1026 increases fiber, phosphorus and calcium digestibility, and increases gross energy, total lipids and amino acid absorption. Yea-Sacc®1026 improves milk availability to foals if administered for 3-4 weeks before and throughout the lactation period. Amino Acids – in young horses Lysine is considered the first limiting amino acid and is the most important factor affecting growth. Methionine, another essential amino acid, is also important for proper growth and development of muscle tissue in young foals. Calcite – is a natural high quality source of calcium mined from fossilized red algae, its honeycomb structure increases its buffering properties along with increasing its bioavailability for bone health. it has superior buffering ability compared to the more commonly used calcium carbonate (limestone).
BIOPLEX®
Bio-available Trace Minerals – or chelated minerals are those that have been bonded to two or more amino acids. A mineral in this chelated state allows easy passage through the intestinal wall into the blood resulting in increased metabolism of that mineral. dac® COLT GROWER utilizes organic minerals to increase availability and enhance absorption rates. Probiotics – are live microorganisms (including beneficial strains of bacteria) thought to be beneficial to the horse. These natural additives help maintain the correct balance of microflora in the small intestine and cecum to help bypass nutrients be completely digested in the gut.

Feeding Directions
dac® COLT GROWER can be fed with either fortified or unfortified grains. Fortified grains contain added vitamins and minerals and require a lower feeding rate of dac® COLT GROWER.
Feed dac® COLT GROWER at the following rates:
Young, growing horses (3-12 months of age): Feed 2 oz. per horse per day if fed with unfortified grains.
Yearlings (up to 2 years of age): Feed 3 oz. per horse per day if fed with unfortified grains.
Consult an equine nutritionist or dac® if feeding with fortified grain.
DO NOT FEED TO SHEEP
