Simple System Meadow Forage Pellets – 20kg Five-Species Forage Blend
£22.25
Simple System Meadow Forage Pellets – 20kg
Most bagged feeds are built from one plant. Meadow Forage Pellets contain five species of forage, grown together in a mixed ley rather than blended after harvest — meadow fescue, tall fescue, sainfoin, birdsfoot trefoil and chicory. Growing them together supports sustainable UK farming, and feeding them together supports something else: a wider range of gut microbes.
That variety is the whole point of the product. A horse eating a single forage all winter has a narrower microbiome than one eating several, and gut microbial diversity underpins how well a horse digests everything else it eats.
Performance & Benefits
- Five forage species grown together in a mixed ley, adding genuine variety to the diet.
- Created to support a wide range of beneficial gut microbes, aiding condition and performance.
- High fibre with medium digestible energy.
- Highly palatable, and useful for tempting fussy horses.
- Free from cereals, molasses, soya, straw, additives and preservatives.
- GM free, and registered with the Vegan Society.
- Grown sustainably in the UK.
Suitable For
- Increasing dietary variety and supporting gut health.
- Fussy or selective eaters.
- Horses needing improved condition and performance.
- Use in treat balls, or as a training aid.
Feeding
- Introduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.
- Soak until free from hard lumps, using 1 part pellets to 2.5 parts water.
- Start with 100g per 100kg bodyweight per day, dry weight before soaking — 500g daily for a 500kg horse.
- Increase as required, up to a maximum of 4.5kg per day.
- A level Stubbs bowl scoop holds approximately 1.5kg dry weight.
- Can be fed alone, or alongside a Simple System chop and balancer.
