CoolStance is a premium quality copra meal, made from the white part of the coconut, which is dried, baked and ground. It is a totally natural product and is chemical and GMO free. It is produced by just one copra mill in Papua New Guinea and is of assured quality and routinely tested for Aflatoxins.
CoolStance copra is a unique horse feed because it has low Non Structural Carbohydrate (NSC), and yet has a high digestible energy content. CoolStance is packed with ‘cool’ energy from coconut oil and fibre from coconut meal. CoolStance copra is suitable for most horses and can be fed to maintain a natural state of gut health and insulin sensitivity, ie normal insulin metabolism.
Key Benefits
CoolStance copra has been fed as a quality product to horses for over 20 years
Provides high-density ‘cool’ energy from oil and digestible fibre (15 MJ DE/kg DM).
Contains <2% starch and may reduce the effect of hot or fizzy behaviour in horses
Contains < 11% Non Structural Carbohydrates (NSC) making it a low GI feed
Contains coconut oil, which is a saturated oil and is not prone to rancidity or oxidation
Rich in Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) which are absorbed directly into the portal blood and provide readily digestible energy. MCT are unlike most other oils (soy, corn, flaxseed) which are polyunsaturated, and are slowly digested.
