The Benefits
Coated with cold pressed linseed oil, Omega Chaff provides health boosting short chain omega 3, which also benefits coat quality and shine.
Feeding a variety of fibre, including Omega Chaff, encourages natural diversity in the hind gut microbiome, creating a healthier environment. With natural gastric health benefits, alfalfa helps to buffer stomach acidity from high levels of calcium. The structural rigidity of alfalfa prolongs eating time which increases saliva production, another alkaline benefiting stomach pH.
Naturally elevated quality proteins, support muscle development alongside a balancer or complete feed.
Low sugar and starch, free from molasses and suitable for a wide variety of horses and ponies.
