Honeychop Plus Garlic – 12.5kg
Plus Garlic puts crushed garlic through the standard Honeychop oat straw chaff at 30g per kilo. Honeychop's point is arithmetic: feed 1kg a day to a 500kg horse and the garlic is done, with no separate tub to measure out and nothing left in the bottom of the feed.
Underneath the garlic it is the same conservation-grade, sun-dried oat straw as the Original, with a light molasses dressing, limestone flour for calcium and salt at 25g per kilo. Most of it goes out through the summer, when garlic gets fed for the smell as much as anything.
<>Performance & Benefits
- Crushed garlic at 30g/kg — Honeychop's stated daily amount for a 500kg horse, in a single 1kg feed.
- Removes the need for a separate garlic supplement.
- Strong aroma, which also helps disguise medication or a powdered supplement.
- Salt at 25g/kg, Honeychop's figure for a horse in light work in a moderate climate.
- Limestone flour for calcium.
- Same 23% fibre oat straw base as Honeychop Original.
Suitable For
- Horses and ponies in light work being fed garlic through the summer.
- Owners who would rather not measure a garlic powder every day.
- Masking the taste of medication in a feed.
- Slowing down a fast eater when mixed into hard feed.
- Not a low-sugar feed at 11.5% total sugar — for a laminitic or EMS horse use Honeychop Lite & Healthy or Honeychop Chopped Oat Straw.
Feeding
- 1kg a day for a 500kg horse in light work is Honeychop's rate for the garlic to do its job.
- Feed alone or mixed through the hard feed.
- Allow for the 25g per kilo of salt if you feed salt separately.
- Fresh water at all times.
