What kind of chaff are you considering feeding. And Why?

i mix 'happychaff' in with the alfa to bulk things up a bit but it's prob full of sugar (mollases mix) though gives him something to do when inside and smells yummy

oh also seems to make his poo a bit orange for easy identification in poor lighting

I feed HiFi to my old gelding and HiFi Lite to my other gelding as a partial hay replacer to give a bit of variation especially when they are in, have a look on the Dengie website it might help

Simple systems do a variety of chaffs - some are grass chaffs and quite high in nutrient, but if you have a good doer they do ruff stuff which is mature grass and lucies stalks which is lucerne stalk (funnily enough), thats like a straw chaff so excellent to bulk out feed for fatties. Nothing has mollasses in so its great for fatties , fizzies &amp; laminitics.

Why are you wanting to feed chaff? Is it to bulk out feed or as an altenative to hay or hard feed? Bit more info would mean viewers could offer some more specific advice.

i found the sugar in dengie original made my tb go crazy!But now i use alfa A and it has made his coat gorgeous and helps maintain his condition. Also he loves it!

Just out of interest, does anyone make their own chaff? If so, what % of straw / hay / other do you use?

Is your lovely 4yo 16hh mare for sale or does she need a foster mummy to bring her on?

I usually use the Dengie range of chaffs or mine did love the Cherry Chaff (Mollichaff make it I think) last year. Depends what you want it for really!!
