Tribute Equine Nutrition Growth
Tribute Equine Nutrition Growth is a premium, science-driven growth feed formulated for foals and growing youngsters with a focus on controlled growth, ideal amino acid balance and lower non-structural carbohydrate levels. Although typically sold at a premium versus broad-market options like Purina, Tribute’s technical advantage is its nutrient density and formulation aimed at minimizing developmental issues, making it preferred where targeted growth management is a priority.

Brooks Enhancer
Brooks Enhancer is a concentrated conditioning feed designed to add calories and elevate body condition efficiently for hard keepers or performance horses needing extra energy without large volumes of grain. As a high-calorie supplement rather than a complete feed, its financial advantage is delivering calories economically per scoop compared with feeding larger quantities of complete feeds, but it must be paired with a balanced base ration or premix to meet full life-stage mineral requirements. Compared to the Mare & Foal or Growth formulas listed above, Brooks is best used as an adjunct for condition and performance rather than as a standalone life-stage complete feed.
