Honeychop Original – Lightly Molassed High Fibre Oat Straw Chaff 12.5kg
£8.95
Honeychop Original – 12.5kg
The Original is the feed the range is built on: conservation-grade oat straw chaff with a light molasses dressing, limestone flour and salt. Honeychop's purpose for it is straightforward — mix it through a concentrate feed to slow the horse down, lengthen the chewing and get more saliva into the gut before the food arrives.
Salt is included at 25g per kilo, the amount Honeychop reckon covers an average horse in light work in a moderate climate, and the limestone flour supplies calcium. It also stands in as a partial hay replacer when forage is short.
Performance & Benefits
- Conservation-grade oat straw, sun-dried and never desiccated.
- Light molasses dressing for palatability.
- Salt at 25g/kg — Honeychop's figure for a horse in light work in a moderate climate.
- Limestone flour for calcium.
- Extends chewing time when mixed through a concentrate feed.
- NOPS accredited with full traceability.
Suitable For
- Horses and ponies in light work, as part of a balanced diet.
- Slowing down a horse that bolts its hard feed.
- Partial hay replacement when forage is short.
- Fussy feeders who will not look at a plain chaff.
- Not a low-sugar feed at 10.5% total sugar — for a laminitic or EMS horse use Honeychop Lite & Healthy or Honeychop Chopped Oat Straw instead.
Feeding
- Mix through the hard feed, or feed alone.
- Honeychop publish no feeding rate for Original, so none is stated here.
- If you already feed salt separately, count the 25g per kilo this supplies.
- Introduce gradually, and provide fresh water at all times.
