CHAFF - unadulterated - no mollasses etc.

[lynetteh]

I'm located in West London and am trying to find a supplier of basic Chaff. I have a 12.2 suffering (we think) from EMS and the vet has recommended a sugar free diet. Does anyone out there know a supplier?

Hi, looking out info for some people regards shivers, also cover ems, would you be interested? Comes with suitable feeds.
We have a horse with epms.
I have so many papers have not laid my hands on them yet.

simple systems do a chaff with nothing added. Its called RuffStuff. They also do grass nuts and unmolassed sugar beet etc (http://www.simplesystem.co.uk/simpleproducts.asp)

I had a pony with sugar intolerance. I found D&H Fibergy chaff was the only one he could tolerate without going loopy. I pay £9 a bag or thereabouts.

I have just moved my two onto the simple systems feeds. They do a variety of chaffs depending on energy levels needed. If you email them with your horses details they will provide a diet for you. There is no minimum order either and delivery is free!!!

i used to use simple systems luciestalks, (it's good, but v expensive for chaff!)

now use greengold, pure unmollassed lucerne chop. Would recommend it, although I find that the quality can vary a bit, sometimes it's a wee bit dusty, but I always water the feeds so that solves that.

simple systems purabeet & speedi beet are both unmollased, but they both still contain about 5% naturally ocurring sugar.

We found a local (to us) feed company which made plain chaff for us. Horses wouldn't touch it! *rolls eyes* Fussy b*ggers. Toffee does like Fibergy though, but I have no idea of the sugar content.

I had this issue and used to feed thorogoods special chaff but this now has mollases in it, I now use alpha A oil (dengie do a couple mollases free)

i used alfa a oil from dengie on my epsm horse and he looked and went brilliant on it!

Was just about to say Alpha A is recommended. The oil is better as they need a high oil diet.

Simple Systems

Greengold - pure alfa - excellent for youngsters and those needing more energy

Lucie stalks - stalk end of alfa plant - great for natives

They also do just grass and rough stuff.

All feeds are free from added sugar, mollasses and cereal.

Give them a call, they are very helpful. My two have done very well on greengold and lucie stalks.

I use Aldwicks Pure Grass which may not be available where you are but Northern Crop Driers do a similar product called Graze On. Both are, quite literally, just dried chopped grass chaff....thats it, nothing else added.

Thanks. I'd be very interested in anything you have that might help.

I've already ordered some products from Simple Sytems. Metaslim and Lucie Stalks. Should be here tomorrow.
