Benefits
Weight Gain/Maintenance
Feed quality over quantity, with up to 90% hindgut fermentation. An excellent alternative to beet pulp, lupin hulls, stabilised rice bran and soybean hulls. Quality source of amino acids provides the building blocks for growth. Considered a super fibre for its low sugar, low starch and high fermentable fibre profile for cool energy and natural B vitamin production.
Digestive Health
The fibre-based grain free horse feed pellet maintains a healthy gut microbiome, and the live probiotics and prebiotics promote the growth of beneficial good bacteria. The live probiotics stabilise the pH and reduce lactic acid in the hindgut. The result is a stimulated activity and growth of beneficial good bacteria for more efficient feed conversion. Improvements in appetite, behaviour and manure quality are all associated with a healthy gut environment.
Immune System Health
Key chelated minerals are required for a proper functioning immune system. Prebiotics inhibit harmful bacteria whilst stimulating the immune system’s function. The prebiotics blocks the attachment and development of harmful bacteria within the gut. This has a positive effect on the horse’s natural immune system, reducing the risk of disease through a stronger immune response.
Hoof Health
Specifically balanced vitamin and mineral profile including chelated zinc, methionine & biotin also by creating a healthier gut microbiome, biotin is produced naturally by the horse in the hind gut and utilised to help maintain hoof health.
Skin & Coat Condition
Zinc is more important for dark colours, while copper is more important for chestnuts. It is crucial that zinc and copper are at correct ratios in the diet, regardless of the horse’s colour. Australian pasture, hay and feed crops are commonly low in zinc and copper while being naturally high in iron (Ultimate Grain-Free has no added iron). This greatly impacts a horse’s dietary intake as all three compete for absorption. Too much of one means less of the others are absorbed. Ultimate Grain-Free contains Chelated Zinc and Chelated Copper, which are more readily absorbed by horses.
Bone & Muscle Health
Calcium and phosphorus are the main minerals found in bones. The ratio should be at atleast 2:1 Ca:P for the overall diet. Magnesium is required for the collagen matrix and bone mineralisation. Zinc, Copper and Boron for bone development. Zinc in particular for bone and cartilage formation. The key vitamins are Vitamin D for bone mineralisation and calcium and phosphorus absorption. Vitamin A for osteoclast function, bone-resorbing cells in bone remodelling. Vitamin C in collagen synthesis and repair. Vitamin K in bone and cartilage metabolism.

FAQ
Can I soak CEN Grain-Free Ultimate?
Yes, when soaked it fluffs up to a nice mash.
How to work out how much CEN Grain-Free Ultimate to feed?
There is a suggested feeding guide, but our Free Diet Analysis is the best way. This is because all horses should be treated as individuals due to many factors including other nutrients in the diet, genetics and environment.
Feel free to call us on 07 3180 3014 or book a Free Diet Analysis in the Horse Menu.
Is CEN Complete Grain-Free safe for LAMINITIC PRONE / INSULIN RESISTANT and horses with LAMINITIS?
Yes, CEN Ultimate is safe to feed up to 800g per meal to laminitic/IR horses due to the starch percentage being safe up to this amount. Sugar % is very low at 1.9%.
By definition for laminitis prone / IR, you want to keep starch below .3g / kg bodyweight per meal so a 400kg horse this is less than 120g of starch per meal.
Also have to remember it depends on the degree of sensitivity of the laminitis, medication, environment and your current diet too.
Feel free to call us on 07 3180 3014 or book a Free Diet Analysis in the Horse Menu.
Is CEN Grain-Free Ultimate safe for ULCER PRONE and horses with ULCERS?
Yes, it is safe being low in sugar and starch, and promotes a healthy digestive environment.
Can I feed a PROBIOTIC on top of the CEN Complete Grain-Free?
Yes, the CEN Complete Grain-Free includes a daily maintenance support of live probiotics but if your horse requires further support, a probiotic/digestive supplement can be fed on top. CEN XtraBalance is an excellent addition for horses prone to digestive upsets from stress or increased workload.
Is there a more CONCENTRATED version with a similar nutrient profile available?
Yes, CEN CF50 is a concentrated vitamin and mineral supplement with a lower feed rate.

I’ve been feeding the CEN Grain Free to my horse and pony for about 6 weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier with how they’re doing on it! My horse is calm, maintaining condition (unrugged – in Tasmania!) and looking fantastic. My pony struggled last winter, he had a heavy rug, was on a balancer, complete pellet, weight supplement, and digestive supplement (his feeds were way bigger than I felt a pony should ever need), he was still losing condition, he was scouring regularly, and had skin and coat issues… this year he is unrugged like my horse, on a small feed recommended by Bryan and he’s doing wonderfully! He’s maintained good condition, has had no scouring and is overall a happier pony – which has made a happier me! I am so glad I swapped to the CEN diet!

After my multiple supreme winning Riding Pony stallion came home from shows earlier this year a hot, agitated mess and refusing to eat I contacted Bryan and after much discussion I made the decision to put him on CEN Grain Free pellets and a fully grain free diet to compliment and we haven’t looked back, he is now a completely different horse, calm, sane and listening to training, I feel that the grain free diet is working wonders and the best part is he LOVES his pellets, I’ve never seen him so enthusiastic about food as he has always been a fussy eater and often leaving a lot in the bin the next morning, he now licks the bin clean every night!
I now have all my horses including my stud broodmares, 3yo and weanlings on grain free pellets and they are all thriving, it has simplified my feeding so much and I love knowing my horses nutritional needs are met with feeding this feed and a complete grain free diet keeps their tummies happy and their heads cool!

The best results out of a single feed. I have 9 horses on this feed and all of them are doing great on it. I was feeding multiple different feeds as well as different vitamins and minerals. This feed has it all and at a balanced rate. Super efficient and cost effective feed. Well worth the money.

I have had all of my horses on the CEN products for about 3 months now.
I have two elderly horses who were severely underweight. I was feeding a competitor feed and because I was having to feed upwards of 3kg a day, it was costing me so much money.
Now they are on the CEN Grain Free and the CEN Oil and it works out so much cheaper, they have put on so much weight and are shiny!
I also have a young horse on CEN CF50 and CEN Oil and he looks amazing too.
Love these products

My 13 year quarter horse was struggling with a bit off diarrhoea. I try every thing. He doesn’t always get it but when he does is not very nice. So I decided I going to try grain free. I could see the results from the second day, no diarrhoea comming out and he was look much better. Thanks you CEN for your amazing product 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It’s been 12 months since is had lengthy conversations with my head vet & Peter from CEN, making the switch from what I was feeding to CEN Grain free. I haven’t looked back & neither have my horses. They continue to go from strength to strength in their training, developing more muscle & getting stronger in their work. Their gut health has improved in leaps & bounds. I always get compliments when I compete saying how amazing or incredible my horses look. It is a full credit to the CEN grain free & lupin pellets. I am moving to Germany next year with some of my horses & fully intent to take the Grain free & lupin pellets with me
as I refuse to feed my horses anything else.

Having 2 young horses (yearling and 3 year old) I wanted to change feeds to a feed not only find something to aid in show prep but also have all the good stuff we all need our horses diets to include without the big price tag.
Some feeds say they are a “complete feed” but then you find out you have to feed half the bag a day to hit the recommended feed dose. This doesn’t work out economically, and any horse owner knows having show horses you already pay a fortune to compete in your chosen discipline. So, CEN packed all of the things my boys needed while they are growing into a small, yet mighty pellet. Truly a complete feed!
But we all know that the CEN oil is liquid goal and you couldn’t pay me not to use it now!
I can’t wait to take my boys to States and Nationals in the new year looking a million bucks! THANKS CEN 😊 🫂

I do rescue and rehabilitation work and have been using a number of Cen’s products for years. I have had great success, with ages varying, from an orphan foal to the golden oldies. I absolutely can’t speak highly enough of the products and paired with amazing customer service it’s a win win for both the horses and myself.

My racehorses (2 geldings) have been on CEN Grain Free Complete all of this prep approx 10 weeks and I have never seen them so relaxed (they have been a handful behaviour wise for 3 years) I never thought I would see them so relaxed. The younger one trialed this week and ran second, by far the best he has trialed for 3years! A huge thank you too CEN for your feed and a huge thank you to JAZ for her help and sending my wife and I new hats(great)

Ultimately the ONLY product that has mainted and improved my OTTBs condition. CEN Grain Free has lifted a huge weight of stress off my shoulders, after discovering how incredible this feed helps to cater your horse with all its essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and especially with it being 100% natural, it is now the ONLY product I feed! The low feeding rate is incredible, meaning you don’t need to feed much and it lasts much longer then any complete feed product out there. It’s perfect for horses who are grain and soy intolerant, literally will never my OTTB on any other feed!

Since starting CEN grain free. My horses have become the picture perfect health. Just 2 weeks on my ulcer prone TB mare and she was glowing. Her skin got better and her hoof condition. She had mud fever that went away quickly. I’ve had a constant battle with her overall health. She’s just gotten so much better in so many areas, because of CEN Nutrition. With the help of Xtrabalance and Oil. She’s also become a lot calmer and not so hot anymore. It’s been a serious life saver for me. And for her. It genuinely has shocked me how good this feed is lol.

The CEN grain free is such a good feed! I noticed result’s instantly. My gelding gained more weight, his top line filled out nicely. His hooves weren’t as brittle and weak as they were before. And the pellet is so easy, you don’t have to soak it for ages. You don’t even have to soak it at all if you don’t won’t to. If you do soak it, it takes about 3 minutes so it’s suitable if you have an older horse with bad teeth. Love CEN ❤️

I researched and listened to the podcasts. I decided to give the oil and grain free a go. Both horse’s liked the oil. It took about 3 weeks to get used to the feed, but now they are quite happy to eat it. I then added the Cen Gold to the feed. I then had a looked into the NO3 BOOST, which the horse’s took too straight away.
Both horse’s seem to be more happier on the NO3 BOOST than the CEN GOLD. All the products I’ve used are super easy to use.

one of my girls hasn’t been feeling herself for a while now and we had been tossing out whether it was fed related, or body related! after seeing CEN was improving the Grain Free and reading all the amazing benefactors i jumped at the chance of getting her on it! Whilst she’s only been on it for nearly two weeks the results can already be seen and felt for themselves. I’m so happy to say truly feels 110% herself again! i finally have a calm, relaxed, energetic horse, without being off her tree or crazy! it brings so much pleasure in knowing she feels as good on the inside as she does on the outside!

After the free diet consult with Peter, I purchased a bag of the CEN Ultimate Complete Feed to try on my 5yr old QH who is generally a pretty good doer however where we agist has mycotoxins ect and is prone to slobbers…
I felt like I was spending so much money on feed with vitamins, digestive support and fiber that my end goal was to a) cheapen & simplify my horses feed without sacrificing on quality and b) to nutritionally support his body for the mycotoxins as well as support for him still growing c) not adding any fizziness
He’s been on the complete feed now for 2 months and he is happy, looking amazing and I cannot believe the money I am saving. He is also on the CEN Oil which he’s been on consistently for the last 12 months and for the first time my grey horse has started to show dapples! Everyone comments on how healthy and shiny he is looking. I am about to start my old horse on the complete feed, and I love that it’s an all-in-one product!
I urge anyone who is unsure on what they should be feeding to book a free diet consult, Pete was great to talk to and is a wealth of knowledge!
