Sweet Lupins are a high-quality, Australian-grown legume used as a valuable source of protein and energy for horses and livestock. Grown primarily in Western Australia and South Australia, these sweet varieties are alkaloid-free, making them safe and palatable for animal consumption.
Rich in crude protein (28–34%), digestible fibre, and natural oils, sweet lupins provide slow-release energy without the high starch content found in traditional grains like oats or corn. This makes them an excellent choice for “cool” feeding, supporting calm behaviour and digestive health.
Ideal for performance, breeding, and leisure horses, lupins promote muscle development, coat shine, and overall condition. Their low starch and moderate oil profile make them suitable for horses prone to tying-up, laminitis, or grain sensitivity.
Lupins are best used as part of a balanced diet and can be soaked, rolled, crushed, or included in pellets to enhance digestibility and palatability.
