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.
Mollichaff Donkey is a highly palatable mix containing a balanced blend of fibre pellets, oat straw, and soya oil with camomile, mint and lemon balm. It also contains a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement, which includes limestone and magnesium. Magnesium is often deficient in UK soils and is an important factor in the nutritional support of many metabolic processes in the donkey as well as helping to maintain a healthy nervous system. Deficiency in this mineral may be associated with glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, both of which are important in the nutritional management of laminitis.
