Bergafat is a powdered and processed palm oil containing fatty acids and Phospholipids and is free of trans-fatty acids.
Fats are the king of energy supply. No feed supply should ever be without fat. Because of the way that fats are structured, they play a vital role in helping the body maintain numerous vital functions. Good blood flow, heart and brain function rely heavily on fat intake, and the hormonal system functions far more efficiently when the correct fat is given.
Bergafat is a Lecithinated (stable) palm fat that has a washing effect in the gut, keeping it healthy.
The Phospholipids in Bergafat allows nutrients to be more efficiently digested. It is also high in Vitamin E to protect the body cells against free radicals.
There are a number of situations where supplementing your horse’s feed with Bergafat can make all the difference:
- Great for putting on weight and condition without heating effects;
- As a source of energy in sports, both for short-term peak performance and to prevent premature exhaustion when demands are continuous;
- For horses that show over a period of a few days, helping them to keep their edge;
- As an energy and nutrient depot to keep breeding stallions in good condition and help ensure that breeding mares maintain fertility and health during pregnancy;
- As a source of unsaturated fatty acids to ensure top physical condition, a glossy coat and healthy fat deposits;
- As a replacement for carbohydrates in cases of insulin deficiency and for regulating abnormal carbohydrate metabolism in horses prone to ‘Monday mornings’. These benefit greatly if fed Bergafat and grass.
