CoolStance: Copra Meal 20kg

  CoolStance is a by-product of coconut oil production and consists of the white fleshy part of the coconut after it has been heated and pressed to extract the oil. The oil in CoolStance (coconut oil) is a highly stable tropical oil, meaning that CoolStance is not prone to rancidity and maintains its nutrient status over long periods.   Popularised as a horse feed over 20 years ago, CoolStance contains 8-10% oil and 20% crude protein.  It is extremely low in starch (1.3% starch, <12% NSC) meaning it is a ‘cool and safe feed''.  It contains approx. 15MJ Digestible Energy/kg DM (or 1.63 Mcal/lb DM) and high levels of trace-minerals that are commonly deficient in other feeds including rice bran.   CoolStance contains mainly saturated fatty acids of short and medium chain length.  Short and medium chain fatty acids are absorbed directly into the portal blood, are rapidly metabolised and are available for use as ready energy for high intensity work. Lauric and caprylic acids (the main fatty acids in coconut oil) are are also associated with having antiviral, antibacterial and immune-boosting properties for promoting gut and animal health.
