for those that only feed chaff....

[grandmaweloveyou]

...do u feed an all-in-one supplement too?

Interested to see what the ratio is on this.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Yes

 

[ihatework]

Yes, I feed a mug of lo cal alongside a handful of chaff.

 

[kinnygirl1]

Yes - benevit advance from feedmark in a handful of happy hoof.

 

[mynutmeg]

She gets a balancer added in to the chaff to make sure she gets everything.

 

[ChestnutConvert]

No - she is already on a flex and a msm supplement plus oestress, might look into whether she needs an all round one mind.

 

[Littlelegs]

No. And she's 24 in spring too. However our forage is more than ample, the chaff is purely because she expects bucket feed. So gets half a scoop of hifi lite. Ditto daughters pony who has a spoonful of chaff in a bucket. Just have salt licks.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

No, she has Brewer's Yeast and Aloe Vera with the chaff and a Himalayan Salt lick. The Appy doesn't get BY but has the rest.

 

[maccachic]

Yup lucerne and a supplement which balances the diet 100% with the addition of iodised salt. Keeps my standarbred happy /shiny and round right thru winter along with hay.

 

[bushbaby28]

only a general all purpose vitamin supplement

 

[Ebenezer_Scrooge]

I just feed a gp supplement & has access to a salt lick but he has been having sugarbeet as well.

 

[el_Snowflakes]

No.
I use a couple of supplements for specific areas but considering adding a broad spectrum multivit

 

[MissTyc]

Balancer

 

[chestnut cob]

Nope. Pony gets a handful of D&H Safe & Sound, access to a salt lick, grass in the field and adlib hay at night. He's full of beans, spot on weight-wise, glossy coat, great feet so doesn't appear to need it

 

[mandwhy]

No, she has hi fi lite with a handful of linseed meal for a bit extra and trying magnesium at the mo, she is out on loads of grass plus hedgerow which she loves rootling in so I don't think she needs a supplement, but may try one in the summer when she will just have a teeny amount of chaff, if anything!

 

[Honey08]

Ours get chaff and a balancer, both low cal!

 

[JennyNZ]

Lucerne chaff, whole oats, salt and a vitamin/mineral suppliment.

 

[sophiebailey]

21yo has 2 scoops of cheap whatever brand chaff, just so he can take his danilon. I put equiflex, devils claw and sunflower oil in it he's fat round and glossy at the moment!

 

[c2b]

I used to use chaff as a carrier for a broad based vitamin supplement. Then I found fast fibre so use that now.
The only reason my mare gets anything at all is to get a vitamin supplement down her as she is on restricted grazing all year round.

 

[Tapir]

yes, lo-cal for both of mine

 

[posie_honey]

when she was on chaff only she was on spillers conditioning chaff which is fortified - she got a top up though of half rations of spillers balancer as was only on half recommended amounts of chaff

 

[Tnavas]

Mine gets free access to a multi mineral lick 24/7
