Straw Chaff 18kg

Straw Chaff 18kg
Straw chaff, derived from the stems of cereal crops like wheat, barley, or oats, serves as a valuable feed option for horses, particularly as a source of roughage.

While low in nutritional content compared to other feeds, straw chaff offers essential benefits for equine health. Its fibrous nature aids in promoting healthy digestion and preventing issues such as colic and impaction by providing bulk in the digestive tract. Additionally, straw chaff encourages natural chewing behavior, which supports dental health and helps prevent dental problems.

While lacking in significant nutritional value, straw chaff can be beneficial for horses on restricted diets, helping them feel full and satisfied. Its affordability and availability make it a practical choice for extending forage during times of scarcity. However, it's important to note that straw chaff should be supplemented with other feeds to ensure horses receive adequate nutrients for optimal health and performance.

Please note that a pallet is 12 x 18kg bags. Mixed pallets are available.
