Mollichaff position it for breeding stock, youngstock and horses living on a high-forage, low-concentrate diet — the animals most likely to be short of trace elements simply because they are not eating enough hard feed to get them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the only 15kg bag among the Mollichaff straw chaffs, and at 8 MJ\/kg it carries marginally more energy than Original while sitting slightly lower on fibre at 22%.
