Kohnkes Own CELL PERFORM®

Concentrated Bone Mineral, Trace-Mineral and Vitamin Supplement with extra Muscle Antioxidants for Performance Horses

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® is a premium supplement containing a complete range of vitamins and minerals which are often low or inadequate in the diets of horses in training and competition.

The comprehensive 5 pellet blend also contains a higher concentration of muscle specific nutrients such as premium organic chelated selenium, magnesium and vitamin E for robust muscle strength, and stamina in horses that regularly work at moderate to intense levels.

The specific ratio of muscle antioxidants in Cell-Perform®, compared to other ration balancers, may help sustain muscle function and ensure controlled muscle energy to power performance during equestrian sports.

Cell-Perform® is particularly designed for Dressage, Show-Jumping, Eventing and Show horses and ponies to meet their elevated nutrient needs for health, vitality and performance.


Which Horses Benefit

  • Guidelines for top-up of premix feeds are supplied on the label

Major Ingredients

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® is scientifically formulated to contain a comprehensive blend of vitamins and minerals essential for horse health, vitality and performance.  The formulation is regularly updated to the latest guidelines for optimum nutrition in all equestrian horses. 

  • Blend of cold-pressed, colour coded Supplet pellets separated into 5 compatible nutrient groups which ensures the potency and stability of the vitamins and trace-minerals in the supplement and in the feed.

  • Bone minerals including extra magnesium

  • All essential trace-minerals in chelated and inorganic forms for optimum digestive absorption.

  • Full range of vitamins and vitamin co-factors including extra vitamin E, C and B1

  • Higher level of biotin, choline and iodine for hoof health and strength

  • Fully organic chelated selenium (as selenomethionine) and chromium, especially helpful for Australia’s selenium-deficient soils

  • Does not swab, legal for all competitions.

  • Does not provide extra energy, sugar or cause ‘fizz’, even in sensitive horses.

  • 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.

Supplementation Guidelines for New Zealand

Each level scoopful of Cell-Perform® provides 40 grams (LARGE END) and 15 grams (SMALL END) of the double ended scoop.

Flexible supplementation rates with 40 grams needed for early training and moderate exercise levels.  Horses (500 kg body weight) at more advanced training or moderately intense exercise and regular competition can be fed up to 60 grams per day in one feed or split between morning and night meals.

When reducing the full recommended amount of a chosen muesli or commercial feed, it is advisable to add a top-up of Cell-Perform® as extra micronutrients for optimum ration balance.

A half dose of Cell-Perform® included in a base feed of a cooked, extruded or pelleted hard feed helps to boost nutrient levels with extra high potency, cold-pressed trace-mineral and vitamins.

Supplementation can be scaled when feeding less than the recommended level of commercial, complete feeds.   For example, if you are feeding a moderately worked horse 2 kg of a common commercial feed but the directions from the manufacturer recommend feeding 4 kg per horse per day, add 20 grams of Cell-Perform to make up possible nutrient shortfalls without adding extra energy or fizziness to the ration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my horse needs Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform®?

This premium ration balancer is formulated to help Dressage, Show-Jumping and Eventing horses reach their full potential. Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® has range of top quality nutrients that are commonly lacking in diets fed to equestrian horses in regular work. It features extra muscle antioxidants and other nutrients which are especially important for horses training and competing in equestrian sports based on impulsion, collection, strength and agility.

Scientifically formulated and designed by Dr. John Kohnke with the latest scientific knowledge and published research, Cell-Perform® provides a balanced nutrient profile that can supplement a home-mixed ration, correct a prepared base feed or top-up a commercial complete feed.

Is Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® compatible with other supplements?

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® is formulated to meet the daily nutrient needs of horses in training and competition, with a comprehensive range of minerals, trace-minerals and vitamins scientifically proven to be required when horses are regularly ridden or worked. All that is otherwise required for most horses is the addition of a salt/electrolyte mix, added relative to sweat loss and seasonal temperature or humidity, for example Kohnke’s Own Cell-Salt.

However, some performance horses need extra help for calm behaviour, joint health, muscle building or digestive function.  For these horses, Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® is completely compatible with common additional supplements, especially from the Kohnke’s Own range, as Dr. John Kohnke has designed our entire range of specialist products to be able to be fed with our ration balancers, without excess or overload.

For example, Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform is completely compatible with common calming supplements, including our popular Kohnke’s Own Mag-E®. 
Cell-Perform® doesn’t contain unnecessary fillers, energy, excess protein or sugar, so it won’t cause ‘fizzy’ problems in sensitive horses.

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® is also highly recommended as a base nutritional supplement to complement use of specialist targeted supplements for digestive health, such as Kohnke’s Own FABBY®, muscle and top-line building, for example, Kohnke’s Own Muscle XL® or for joint health and flexibility, such as Kohnke’s Own Redi-Flex®.

For advice whether Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform is compatible with competitor products, including hoof products or other supplements request a diet diet analysis.

How does Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform compare to Cell-Vital® or Cell-Provide®?

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® features a different ratio of nutrients compared to our basic ration balancers, Cell-Vital® and Cell-Provide® which are more suitable to feed ‘lower level’ working horses, as a general nutritional supplement for all different types of horses in training.

The nutrient balance achieved by Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® is focused on providing extra antioxidants and other nutrients for robust muscle function. Cell-Perform® features a higher ratio of selenium, vitamin E, magnesium and vitamin C, relative to the standard blend of trace-minerals and vitamins in most common ration balancing supplements.  These nutrients are particularly important for equestrian sports based on impulsion, collection, strength and agility.

In comparison to Cell-Provide®, Cell-Perform® is ‘stronger’ and has elevated levels of nutrients designed for working horses, whereas Cell-Provide® is a ‘lighter’ style balancer for resting or lightly worked horses.  However, for owners looking for a ‘premium blend’ of nutrients, a half-dose of Cell-Perform® is suitable for all resting or lightly worked horses and ponies too!

Although Cell-Perform® has a higher supplementation rate than Cell-Vital® or Cell-Provide®, it is still very cost effective, especially for horses which are working harder and longer in training and when out competing.

How is Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® different to other ration balancing supplements?

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® features our exclusive, patented Supplet® technology of cold-pressed pellets separated into 5 compatible groups to ensure trace-minerals do not interact with fragile vitamins, avoiding vitamin potency loss that is inherently problematic in powdered, liquid or single pellet supplements.  Supplet® technology is unique to Kohnke’s Own® and is designed to maximise potency and stability of the supplement during storage and in the feed.

Cell-Perform® uses premium forms of chelated trace-minerals and stability protected vitamins for optimum bioavailability (meaning the degree and rate of digestive absorption) as well as utilisation of these important nutrients in performance horses.

Cell-Perform® is also highly concentrated with an excellent cost per dose that is very competitive in comparison to other ‘premium’ balancing supplements.

Will Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® help the look as well as the health of my horse?

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® benefits coat condition as well as depth and intensity of coat colour in all working horses.  This is due to the use of premium, chelated forms of trace-minerals and high quality, potent and stability-protected vitamins.

Performance horses often lighten in coat colour or look ‘faded’ due to the extra nutrients lost when sweating regularly during training and competition.  Cell-Perform® features higher levels of nutrients that are commonly lost though sweat in moderate to hard working horses which train for long periods, for example, calcium, magnesium and iron (3 forms of iron for safety and best utilisation in horses).

Does Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® contain any banned substances?

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® does not swab and is completely legal to be fed to all performance horses in FEI competitions.

For use in racehorses, we recommend that you follow local guidelines on use of any supplements prior to race day. Cell-Perform® contains some added cobalt for horse health, which may not be suitable for racing horses on feed high in cobalt.

Can Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® be used to top-up ‘Performance’ feeds?

Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® is an excellent choice to make up trace-mineral and vitamin shortfalls with premium, highly bioavailable and potent forms of all necessary micronutrients.  Some of the nutrients, including certain trace-mineral and particularly vitamins, may not be fully supplied when feeding commercial feeds, even those marketed for performance horses.  The label directions feature an easily calculated top-up supplementation rate for horses on commercial prepared feeds where the full recommended amount is not fed each day.

Is Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform® easy to feed?

Like all Kohnke’s Own® ration balancing supplements, Cell-Perform® is pelleted in a blend of colorful mini pellets which easily mix through feeds (wet or dry). It is easy to feed and eliminates wastage through dust, sift-out, sludging or blow away from feeders.  It is highly palatable and well accepted by even the fussiest of eaters!

Customer comments

  • “I have been using Kohnke’s Own Cell-Perform, Energy Gold, Troppo Salts and Hoof Seal for many years now and it has always kept our horses gleaming and happy, we wouldn’t change it! I am an avid believer that our horses should always have these added supplements to ensure they are always ready to perform at their best and home and at competitions.” Jordan J

  • “My 6 yo WB mare is one of the most successful young dressage horses in Tasmania. She is currently on the State A squad and was named Dressage Tasmania’s preliminary horse of the year. Ruby thrives on Kohnke’s Own Mag-E and Cell-Perform. Our soils are deficient in magnesium and the Mag-E ensures that her nervous system and muscles are kept in optimum condition. The Cell-Perform is the best vitamin and mineral supplement I have ever used. So much so that every horse I own is or has been on it. It takes the guess work out of supplementation and I know that my horses are getting everything they need. Definitely cannot fault the quality of your products. I credit Ruby’s performance and excellent coat to the use of both of these products!” Kara B

  • “The simple task of feeding can be confusing and costly. Since using Kohnke’s Own my horses have never looked or felt better! With Cell-Perform I notice they feel more robust in their movement, with better sustained energy and exceptional well-being!” Georgia L
