Likit Granola Horse Treat - Mixed Berry 550g

Likit Granola Horse Treat – Mixed Berry, 550g

Mixed Berry is the least obvious of the four Granola flavours and often the one that works on a horse that has stopped caring about apple or mint. Underneath the flavouring the block is the same: glucose syrup and cane molasses binding kibbled maize, whole wheat, bruised barley and rolled oats, pressed hard enough that a horse has to lick and gnaw rather than simply bite chunks out.

Likit list mixed berry alongside apple, peppermint and molasses across the Granola range, so if you rotate flavours to keep a horse interested this is a useful one to have in the tack room. The 550g block seats in a Likit Holder or a Boredom Breaker exactly as a standard 650g Likit does.

Performance & Benefits

• Berry flavouring, which often re-interests a horse that has gone off the sweeter molasses block.
• Pressed hard so it is licked rather than eaten, and lasts far longer than a soft Likit.
• Four-grain base — kibbled maize, whole wheat, bruised barley and rolled oats.
• Drops straight into a Likit Holder or the top section of a Boredom Breaker.
• Likit's trials showed blocks lasting up to 10 days.
• Recyclable easy-release pack.

Suitable For

• Horses that have lost interest in their usual lick flavour.
• Stabled horses, box rest and long winter evenings in.
• Existing Likit Holder and Boredom Breaker owners.
• Yards rotating two or three flavours to keep a lick novel.
• Not one for a laminitic, insulin-resistant or Cushing's horse — the Rockies Baby Pure Salt Lick is the sugar-free lick we stock for stable enrichment.

Feeding

• Press the block into a Likit Holder or the top section of a Boredom Breaker. It uses the same fitting as a standard 650g Likit.
• It does not fit the Tongue Twister or the Boredom Buster, which take 250g Little Likits.
• Hang the holder freely, away from the stable walls, so the horse cannot pin the block and bite at it.
• Likit's trials showed a block lasting up to 10 days, though a determined, food-motivated horse will get through it faster.
• Likit publish no daily feeding limit for the Granola refill. Fed alongside forage, with clean water always available.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition, as declared by Likit: glucose syrup, mixed grains (kibbled maize, whole wheat, bruised barley, rolled oats), sucrose, cane molasses, salt, flavouring.
• Analytical constituents, Likit's own: sugar as sucrose 17.6%, starch 14.3%, crude fibre 1.5%, moisture 13.5%.
• Likit publish no protein, oil or ash figure for the Granola refill, so none is stated here.
• Likit's website does not state a pack weight for the Granola refill; this pack is 550g.

Care & Caution

• At 17.6% sugar and 14.3% starch this is a high-sugar, high-starch treat. Keep it away from laminitic, insulin-resistant and Cushing's horses.
• The block is deliberately rock hard. It is not suitable for a horse with poor teeth or a sore mouth.
• Hang it clear of walls and fixtures. A block pinned against a wall gets bitten rather than licked, which defeats the design and wastes it.
• A complementary treat, not a feed. It does not replace any part of the ration.
