Gov is out of action having put out his sacroiliac but he's just starting to look a bit ribby which is something I want to nip in the bud as he can drop condition quickly.

He currently gets a breakfast of 2 mugs Bailey's Outshine and half a scoop of Alpha A and then 7-10kg of haylage at night.

I need to nip the weight loss in the bud quickly (once he starts dropping, it goes quickly) but obviously I don't want to load him with much energy as he's off work potentially for the next week or more. I was thinking of giving him a dinner of cooked flaked barley (I fed it last year and it doesn't fizz him up) along with something like high fibre cubes. Any ideas/amendments?
 
Normally a little (and he hoovers it up when he comes in from the field in the PM), depends when he's turned out really - there will be some if its 7 or 8am but any later then no.
