Does anyone on here feed Graze-On Grass Pellets?

[cariadssogreat]

Hi just wondered if anyone on here fed these? My guys are fed on balancers and get hay of an evening, but I just wanted to add some more fibre and bulk.

I have done in the past, and find them excellent for keeping weight on in winter, and a non-cereal source of energy for my laid back newfie. I soak them as i find greedy ponies eat them way too quickly otherwise.

Thank you sleepingdragon10 - very helpful

You're welcome

just be aware that once soaked they do swell quite abit, so will make a fair amount of feed. I used to use about a cup dry weight (approx 250g worth) and that was plenty for my boy

I feed them to my good doer cob so she thinks she has something scrummy!! Bless her heart otherwise she has finished her feed in 1 minute and looks longingly at my TB's bucket!! I can bulk out her meagre fibre lite mix ration with soaked Graze on she loves them

I soak them over night. If i forget to soak them you can make them with boiling water and feed straightaway (i leave to cool first!)

Not sure it's suitable for a good doer.

I asked my Ag merchant if they had it, they told me it was a weedkiller (obviously thinking of Grazon 90)

I feed it to my good doer as she is at the right weight at the moment and i dont want her to loose any or gain any! Ive never had any problems with it and have used it for years, i do add a broad spectrum vit supplement and a hand ful of fibre lite mix. I do only use this in winter though.

As with every feed, absolutely depends on quantities.

How much does it cost?

About £7 a bag, but a little goes a long way!!
