Cell-Grow
Comprehensive Supplement for the Health and Development of Growing and Breeding Horses
Cell-Grow has been scientifically formulated by Kohnke’s Own to support the very specific nutritional needs of both young horses as well as broodmares.
The specially balanced supplement contains the bone minerals, trace-minerals and vitamins fundamental to the growth of strong bones, joints and tendons in weanlings and yearlings while helping avoid developmental problems.
Cell-Grow is also designed to support the mare, especially during late pregnancy when the unborn foal requires more nutrients for foetal development and during lactation when the mare’s nutritional needs are greatly increased due to milk production.
Product Information
The specially balanced supplement contains the bone minerals, trace-minerals and vitamins fundamental to the growth of strong bones, joints and tendons in weanlings and yearlings while helping avoid developmental problems.
Cell-Grow is also designed to support the mare, especially during late pregnancy when the unborn foal requires more nutrients for foetal development and during lactation when the mare’s nutritional needs are greatly increased due to milk production.
Our Concept for Cell-Grow
We have been supporting the needs of breeders for many years, from hobby farms to commercial studs. The formulation of Cell-Grow incorporates nutrients that are scientifically proven to help reduce the risk of developmental problems in foals such as DOD, bent legs, osteochondrosis (OCD), joint swelling (physitis and epiphysitis) and other bone and joint issues which commonly cause soundness issues in young horses.
Our Concept for Cell-Grow
Invest in the future success of your foal with Cell-Grow! Cell-Grow is designed to suit all stages of breeding – from conception up to 2 years of age.
Which Horses Benefit?
- Broodmares, especially during late pregnancy (last 3 months before foaling)
- Empty mares and those during early-mid pregnancy
- Stallions during breeding season
- Orphan foals as part of a creep feed, or those which develop poorly.
- Foals, weaners, yearlings and long yearlings up to 2 years of age, or 2.5 years of age in young horses with a health setback which has limited their full growth and maturity.
Major Ingredients
- Blend of cold-pressed, colour coded Supplet pellets separated into 3 compatible nutrient groups which ensures the potency and stability of the vitamins and trace-minerals in the supplement and in the feed.
- Highly concentrated bone minerals with high purity forms of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
- Full range of potent chelated and inorganic trace-minerals for better bioavailability (degree and rate of absorption)
- Fully organic selenium (as selenomethionine) and chelated chromium, copper and manganese as premium forms of important nutrients.
- All necessary vitamins and vitamin co-factors in potency protected forms.
- Pelleted and palatable supplement which mixes easily into all types of feeds (wet or dry). Reduces wastage from dust, sift-out, sludging and blow away from feeders.

How do I know that the ingredients of Cell-Grow are effective?
Cell-Grow features the Supplet® technology, exclusive to Kohnke’s Own® with an innovative blend of 3 separate groups of compatible nutrients to ensure optimum potency and stability of the supplement, particularly important for sensitive vitamins and nutrient co-factors.
Why does Cell-Grow suit both breeding mares and growing horses?
When is it best to start my mare on Cell-Grow?
When the mare is 7-8 months pregnant (last trimester), it is highly recommended to switch to feeding Cell-Grow. During late pregnancy (last 3 months), the foal doubles its size and quadruples its weight. At this stage, the ideal supply of bone minerals and trace-minerals in Cell-Grow is particularly important to fortify the diet for optimum development of the unborn foal in utero.
Do mares need Cell-Grow when on breeder feeds, good pasture or lucerne hay?
Lactating mares benefit from Cell-Grow to avoid the drain of essential nutrients as a result of milk production, even when on adequate pasture or with added hay. Supplementation with Cell-Grow provides the premium nutrients to ensure milk of optimal quality is supplied to the nursing foal.
What if my foal is growing too fast?
Foals from ‘good-doer’ mares, orphan foals adopted by larger breed mares, those on lush pasture or fed concentrate feed diets may grow faster compared to an optimum, safe rate.
Cell-Grow features a special ‘rapid growth rate’ dosage level tailored to support body, bone and joint soundness in weanlings and yearlings which are at high risk of developmental problems, such as OCD.
Many years of Dr. John Kohnke’s practical consultancy in studs around Australia and New Zealand, as well as scientific data from leading international researchers, has shown the risk of poor joints and bone problems can be greatly reduced by using Cell-Grow. The Cell-Grow label provides a unique supplementation rate take to meet normal and rapid growth rates relative to body weight and age.
When do I switch from Cell-Grow to a normal ‘ration balancer’?
Early sickness, such as a virus, poor weaning or difficult environmental conditions, such as prolonged drought, can compromise optimum development in horses. Cell-Grow is recommended to be fed for up to 30 months of age in horses which have experienced a previous growth setback.
What about slow growing breeds, or growth setbacks?
Early sickness, such as a virus, poor weaning or difficult environmental conditions, such as prolonged drought, can compromise optimum development in horses. Cell-Grow is recommended to be fed for up to 30 months of age in horses which have experienced a previous growth setback.
Is Cell-Grow suitable for all breeds of horses?
The feeding rate of Cell-Grow is calculated from the size of the broodmare and stage of pregnancy, as well as the expected mature size and current growth rate of the foal. The label includes an easy table with all dose rates which can be followed as the mare and foal reach critical milestones.
What form does Cell-Grow come in and is it easy to feed
The new larger scoop provided in Cell-Grow saves time when feeding many broodmares or youngstock.

In our first tub she has gone from a 5’0 rug to a 5’6 rug. Her muscle tone has improved out of sight. Her coat is in pristine condition for this time of year coming into winter. She is a happy healthy filly with the help of Cell Grow. I have had nothing but success with Kohnke’s Own products, I would be happy to recommend them to anyone and I myself will be a recurring customer now I have found Kohnke’s Own.” Sarah A. NSW

In the wee hours on Tuesday morning, Blayke’s mum foaled a bay filly, 13 days overdue. I was even more excited when the foal stood there with no leg deviations. Blake had been born knock-kneed. I mark this down to the absence of the pre-mixed feeds and being fed basic feed with correct supplements. Thank you Kohnke’s Own.” Sharron W. NSW
