Which chaff?

[benson21]

I give my 12.2hh welsh section b a small token feed each evening, consisting of apple, carrots, banana, a small hand of chaff, some garlic and some benevit.
Which chaff would be best? I want something with mineral calories in, nothing to perk him up, basically just something to mix his supplements into.

I use marksway mollichaff calmer as it is one of the lowest sugar content chaffs I can source locally that doesn't contain alfalfa. Their hoofkind chaff is ok too.

 

[benson21]

do i take it by the name it also has a calmer in it? that would be a good thing!!

I used Dengie Hi-Fi or Hi-Fi Lite in the past, one of very few chaffs which didn't trigger my horse's lammi!

Why not a mash like fast fibre, its great for mixing in supplements and low sugar/starch.

It has extra magnesium which is an ingredient used in calmers.

I use mollichaff calmer too - it's nice as has a few pellets in it so bit more interesting for them.

How about something like Spillers Happy Hoof, or Dengie Healthy Hooves?
