Low calorie chop/chaff??

[BorgRae]

Hi guys!!

I have decided to put our fatty on Lo-Cal Balancer and wanted to put a chop/chaff with it so he has something to munch on but don't know what's best.

Do any of you have any suggestions for a low calorie/low fat chop or chaff that I can use?

when i had my boy on a "diet" he was on baileys lo-cal balancer and molichop light (has added biotin in for their feet too). Its relatively cheap also

I'd feed Dengie Hi-Fi Lite or Spillers happy Hoof with your balancer, all the usual vits & minerals but low in sugar.

I use no-molasses ossi chaff after a recommendation on here if I need a 'no rubbish' chaff! It is litteraly just chopped fibre - no alfafa/oil/sugar or dust. Fab stuff. It isn't available everywhere but if you give them a ring they are the most helpful friendly company I have ever dealt with. http://www.ossichaff.com/

Ask around, there may be someone local to you who produces hay chop. its just that, chopped hay, with no preservatives or mollases in it.

Failing that, fast fibre.

I shall go on the search!

Speedy beet for conditioning or Dengie no molasses Hi fi, for good doers, expensive but tasty, there is a higher alfa variety for horses in work,

Have you tried Hi Fi Lite? You can always call Dengie and chat with them, they seem like a helpful bunch and have helped me lots!

Hi Fi Light or Good Doer.

Must admit, Hi-Fi lite was on my list to have a look at, and was hoping someone might mention it as my local tack shop sells it.

I guess I want to give him something he'll enjoy eating and testimonies are always useful!!

I've just looked up the Spillers Happy Hoof and the molichop lite, and they seem like a good ones as well. Think I will see if the tack shop do either of them and take it from there.

Thanks again for all of your advice, as always, very helpful!!
