linseed free chops

[ticobay831]

does anyone know of a chop/chaff on the market that is linseed free ?

 

[be positive]

Most have no linseed in them, I am not avoiding it but have used several plain chops this winter that have had nothing other than grass in the bag, Readigrass has nothing added, Dengie Meadow grass has a little rapeseed oil but no mention of linseed, there are probably more available.

many thanks, seems linseed is in everything :-/

I dont know any chop/chaff that does have linseed in. Linseed is a fine meal from a ground up seed, not a chop.

There are loads of them.

Its usually used to coat the chop instead of molasses, even thunder brookes have it in there's :-/

As said above, there are more chaffs without linseed than with. Most of the Dengie ones for a start. Are you looking for a high calorie one or a low calorie one?

A lot of the more "natural" ones do. If thats the sort of thing you want, Emerald Green is the best compromise you will get. Otherwise theres loads of Alfalfa ones that have them. They coat in rape or soya usually, if not molasses.

Linseed oil then, not linseed?

There are still plenty of unoiled chops. Loads of them on efeed.co.uk

well the oil is still linseed, Im looking for linseed free. ive looked at emerald green. just wondered if there was any more, low sugar low starch and free from linseed, or any type of coating

There are plenty of plain chops available with no added oil. Are you mistaking 1 or 1.5% oil in the composition list for added oil? Plants have oil in naturally, any chop will have a small amount of oil in its make‐up. I can see at least five chops on efeed.co.uk that have no added oil.

what are you wanting it for? It might help to narrow down the best suggestion, although Emerald Green is a very good place to start.

Northern Crop Driers do a straw/grass blend: https://www.northerncropdriers.co.uk/products/graze-on-lite/

It doesn’t give sugar percentage but would be lower than a pure grass chaff. Worth emailing to check.
