Mitavite is an Australian performance-horse feed brand best known for steam-extrusion — cooking the grain so more of the starch is digested in the small intestine rather than fermenting further down. The range splits into complete feeds (Economix, Breeda, Studgro, Gumnuts, Xtra-Cool), racing feeds (Athlete Plus, Formula 3, XLR8, Sustaina), straight extruded grains (Extru-Barley, Extru-Corn, Extru-Lupins), and the Vitamite supplement line.
Where to start — for a horse in light to moderate work on reasonable pasture, Economix or Cool Vitality covers most needs. Breeders should look at Breeda and Studgro; horses in race or heavy competition work at Athlete Plus, Formula 3 or XLR8. If your horse is a good doer that gains weight easily, a low-feeding-rate concentrate such as Promita gives the nutrients without the kilojoules of a full ration.
A note on freight — the feeds are 20kg and 25kg bags. Large bagged feed is heavy and bulky, so check the delivery options at checkout for your postcode before ordering.
