Light Chaff is a blend of high-temperature dried alfalfa and oat straw with a sprinkling of mint and a very light dressing of soya oil, which encourages a shiny coat. It is high fibre and low calorie, as well as having a low starch and sugar content, so is ideal for good-doers, those prone to laminitis and those on a calorie-controlled diet. Indeed Light Chaff is the perfect accompaniment to Lo-Cal balancer (page 20), which provides essential vitamins, minerals and quality protein without additional calories.

This combination is preferable to under feeding a “fortified” chaff, or one containing nutrients to support healthy hoof growth, as feeding the recommended amount of Lo-Cal balancer, plus as much or as little Light Chaff as you choose, will ensure your horse or pony doesn’t miss out on essential nutrients whilst also keeping calorie-intake down. Light Chaff is perfect for feeding to good-doers on limited grazing, as it can be fed to help maintain fibre intake without making a significant calorie contribution to the overall diet.

Oat Straw, Alfalfa, Soya Oil, Mint

FEEDING ADVICE
If you choose to feed Light Chaff in place of all or part of your horse’s forage (hay/ haylage) ration, be sure to replace it weight for weight. Light Chaffs Digestible Energy content is similar to that of average quality hay or haylage.
