Our comprehensive Mollichaff range offers a choice of high quality chaffs to add bulk and fibre to your horse’s diet, as well as a complete feed aimed at laminitics and a complete forage replacer aimed at veterans.

Our specialist chaff range has five tasty options and is made from top quality oat and wheat straws, alfalfa and dried grass. It is dust-extracted, chopped and lightly dressed with a unique low sugar coating, using a special process that covers every part of the chaff evenly to make it very palatable.

This gives our chaffs an open texture, unlike heavily molassed chaffs which can be sticky and lumpy.

By stimulating the production of saliva and slowing down the passage of food throughout the gut, Mollichaff can help to promote good digestion. In particular it will satisfy a stabled horse’s psychological need to chew, requiring up to 8000 chews per kilo to eat compared to as few as 1200 for concentrates.

The Mollichaff range also includes Mollichaff Veteran, a high fibre forage mix which can be used as a total forage replacer if necessary; and Mollichaff HoofKind, which is a complete fibre feed designed for the nutritional support of horses and ponies prone to laminitis.


The HoofKind Diet

Forget your shopping list of nuts, alfalfa, chaff, oil, minerals and vitamins. A simple diet of Mollichaff HoofKind – a complete feed in a bag containing all these ingredients and antioxidants, fed with High Fibre HorseHage or Timothy HorseHage, supplies all the nutrient and fibre requirements of horses and ponies in moderate to light work (hacking or schooling 4-5 times a week), resting or laminitic.

The HoofKind symbol denotes the forage is low in sugar and starch and is suitable for all horses and ponies including laminitics.
HOOFKIND

A complete fibre feed designed for the nutritional support of horses and ponies prone to laminitis.

HoofKind is a highly palatable mix containing a balanced blend of oat straw, alfalfa, fibre pellets, soya oil, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and antioxidants.

HoofKind is low in starch and sugar, high in fibre and does not contain any cereals.

HoofKind is low in protein and calories and provides limited, controlled energy from high quality digestible fibre and oil-based ingredients, making it an excellent feed for ‘fizzy’ horses and good doers, as well as laminitics.

HoofKind contains a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement, and when fed at the recommended levels to horses at rest or in light work, HoofKind needs no further supplementation other than good quality forage.

HoofKind contains added magnesium.

Magnesium is often deficient in UK soils and is an important factor in the nutritional support of many metabolic processes in the horse. Deficiency may be associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, both of which are important in the nutritional management of laminitis.

Additional natural plant-based antioxidants are also included in HoofKind. Antioxidants help mop-up free radicals and assist in the nutritional support of prevention of damage to cells and cell membranes. The antioxidants in HoofKind have been specially selected for the nutritional maintenance of the immune system, the respiratory system, the circulatory system and the all-important hooves and laminae.
