Honeychop Plus Herbs 12.5kg – Chaffs & Fibres with Therapeutic Herbs

Honeychop Plus Herbs – 12.5kg

Plus Herbs is the traditional Honeychop oat straw chaff with thyme, oregano, mint and basil blended through it. Open a bag and you can smell it across the yard, which is rather the idea — it is aimed at the horse that picks at a plain chaff and leaves half of it.

The base is conservation-grade, sun-dried oat straw with a light molasses dressing, limestone flour for calcium and salt at 25g per kilo. Honeychop publish the same analysis for it as for the other flavoured chaffs in the traditional range.

Performance & Benefits

• Thyme, oregano, mint and basil through a high-fibre oat straw chaff.
• Strongly aromatic, which is what gets it eaten by a picky horse.
• Salt at 25g/kg — Honeychop's figure for a horse in light work in a moderate climate.
• Limestone flour for calcium.
• Extends chewing time when mixed into a hard feed.
• Sun-dried straw from crops that have not been desiccated.

Suitable For

• Fussy feeders that need the feed to smell of something.
• Horses and ponies in light work, as part of a balanced diet.
• Slowing down a fast eater.
• Masking a powdered supplement.
