Naturally delicious, high-fibre meadow grass chaff enriched with soothing herbs and a light linseed oil coating to support slow feeding and digestion.
Healthy Herbal Chaff is a high-quality, natural meadow grass chaff with added linseed oil and aromatic herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, and mint. Free from molasses, alfalfa, and artificial additives, it supports slow feeding, digestion, and general equine health.
Healthy Herbal Chaff is crafted to bring the natural goodness of the meadow straight to your horse’s feed bucket. Thunderbrooks carefully selects soft meadow grasses, grown in the UK, including from ancient meadows in the Oxford area known for their diversity and nutritional richness. This blend is enhanced with soothing herbs like chamomile, lemon balm, and mint, making it not only delicious but also gentle on the digestive system.
Fibre plays a crucial role in equine nutrition, not just as a source of energy but as a natural aid to digestion. The texture of Healthy Herbal Chaff encourages slow, deliberate chewing, which stimulates saliva production. Saliva helps buffer stomach acid, reducing the risk of digestive issues like gastric ulcers, while extended chewing time aligns with a horse’s natural grazing instincts.
To enhance its nutritional value and appeal, this chaff is enriched with a light dressing of linseed oil, promoting a glossy coat and providing essential fatty acids for overall well-being. The inclusion of calming herbs, such as chamomile, lemon balm, and mint, adds a delightful aroma and taste to entice even the fussiest eaters.
The soft texture of Healthy Herbal Chaff makes it ideal for youngstock, veterans, or horses with dental challenges. Its naturally low levels of sugar (around 5%) and starch (just 0.5%) make it a safe and suitable choice for horses with metabolic sensitivities or those requiring a low-sugar diet. Free from molasses, alfalfa, preservatives, and GM ingredients, this chaff is as pure and natural as it gets.
Healthy Herbal Chaff can be used in a variety of ways to support your horse’s diet. Use it as a carrier for balancers or supplements to encourage slow feeding and thorough chewing, as a partial hay replacer during poor grazing conditions, or simply to add variety and texture to your horse’s daily feed.
