About Elite Performer

Due to Elite Performers longer chop length, high protein, and low starch, along with environmentally friendly 25kg recyclable packaging, Elite Performer is quickly becoming the preferred fiber choice for stables nationwide.

Eating a longer chop length means the horse has to chew more, slowing the intake while increasing the essential flow of saliva. Saliva acts as a lubricant to help the movement of feed, as well as acting as a buffer. The stomach of the horse is an acidic environment, and saliva helps maintain the correct stomach pH.

Key Benefits:

  • Longer Chop Length – Encourages chewing and saliva production to support gut health and reduce ulcer risk.
  • High-Protein Fibre Feed (21.5%) – Fuels performance and supports muscle development.
  • Eco-Friendly Packaging – 25kg recyclable bags with up to 33% less plastic.
  • Dust-Free & Easy to Handle – No more compacted blocks or mess.
  • 100% NZ Grown & Made – From paddock to product, quality you can trust.
