Product Description
EQUI-FEEDS SHANDY CHAFF 20KG
Product Information
- Equi-Chaff is a new technology for fibre feeds to be fed alongside concentrates and replace forage or roughage.
- After water, fibre is the most important dietary requirement for any horse. Horses are natural fibre digester's, with more than two-thirds of the horse’s digestive capacity almost entirely devoted to the digestion and absorption of nutrients from fibre.
- Fibre is found in many feed substances, such as in grass, hay, chaffs, cubes and mixes. Ensuring horses receive fibre in at least 50% of their diet satisfies both their physical need for fibre to maintain a healthy digestive function and tract, as well as their psychological need to chew for 60% of the time as a form of activity.
Features and Benefits:
- Equi-Chaff is dust extracted to eliminate the allergic and respiratory problems typically associated with conventional baled hay.
- Packaged in regular polypropylene bags for easy and clean transport
- Mixing Equi-Chaff with a concentrate is the best way to feed your horse a high fibre diet. It will slow down the horses intake of concentrate feed, reducing bolting and the chances of colic
- Unlike bran, which is often used as a cheap filler, Equi-Chaff will not absorb Calcium from the gut
- There is less wastage with Equi-Chaff making it a cost effective alternative to conventional roughage or forage
