- Product Highlights
A horse's digestion physiology, as plant eater and former plain-dwelling animal, is based on a high raw-fiber, richly structured diet. Despite domestication and changes in horse usage, the structure and function of the digestion system, as well as the measure of food intake, have remained the same. A horse's relatively small stomach is designed to receive a constant supply of smaller quantities of feed, important not only for an undisturbed digestion, but also for the psyche and particularly the well-being of the horse.
For this, roughage products provide a solid foundation as they satisfy the horse's strong need to chew and offer sufficiently long feeding times. Due to the large quantities required (a 600kg body weight requires approx. 9kg roughage) by a horse each day, it is recognized that roughage products must form the main constituent of each and every horse's diet. To maintain or restore healthy intestinal flora, the micro-organisms found in the large intestine are dependent on the flow of high quality fiber in sufficient amounts. In the event of a continued lack of high-fiber roughage, this can have far-reaching consequences on the horse's health (e.g. destruction of intestinal flora, colic, stool water, emaciation). The use of contaminated or over-ripe roughage, as well as excessive grain feeding, not only leads to considerable digestion problems, but also presents a strain on the horse's entire body.- Over 60 different grasses and herbs guarantee high contents of vital substances and crude fiber, without lucerne

Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Animal Species
- Areas of Use
- As basic feed (100% hay substitute)
- For enhancement of hay, silage, pasture
- As substitute for concentrated feed
- In case of undersupply with applicable crude fiber e.g. due to tooth loss
- In case of respiratory problems due to dust and mold in the basic feed
- In case of age-related weight loss
- For increasing fluid intake
- Extends feeding time
- For masking medication
- Feeding Recommendation
- As basic feed (100 % hay substitute): approximately 1.5 kg per 100kg ideal body weight per day
- As concentrated feed: 1.2 kg substitute approximately 1 kg of grain
- For enhancement of the basic feed: 1 kg substitutes approximately 1 kg of hay
- Introduce feed gradually
AGROBS® recommends softening the flakes through soaking.
