Three ingredients: straw, a light dressing of cane molasses and limestone flour. It exists to put chop and chew time into a bucket feed, slow a horse down over a hard feed, and add a little calcium along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe molasses dressing is what makes it palatable, and it is also what puts sugar in it — Mollichaff declare 16–21%, which is the second highest in the Mollichaff chaff range. At 7.5 MJ\/kg and 0.5% starch it is a low-energy filler rather than a feed in its own right, but the sugar figure rules it out for some horses entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraw-based chop with a light cane molasses dressing, so most horses take to it without persuasion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24% crude fibre, adding bulk and chew time to a bucket feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow energy at 7.5 MJ\/kg and very low starch at 0.5%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimestone flour supplies additional calcium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlows down a horse that bolts its hard feed, and helps carry a powdered supplement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe simplest and cheapest chaff Mollichaff make — no herbs, no added oil, no vitamin premix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies needing extra fibre and chew time in a bucket feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing through a hard feed to slow eating and reduce bolting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying powdered supplements that would otherwise be left in the manger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses in light work with no sugar restriction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for laminitic, insulin-resistant, EMS or Cushing's horses at 16–21% sugar — Mollichaff Light Molasses Free (1.8% sugar) or Mollichaff HoofKind Complete are the ones to feed instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed alongside good-quality forage as part of the daily ration, dry or lightly damped.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMollichaff publish no feeding rate for Original, so none is stated here — it is a chaff to mix through a feed rather than a measured ration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a rough guide, mix it into the hard feed at whatever volume slows the horse down; a typical double handful to a scoop per feed is common practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce gradually over 7–10 days, as with any change of feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep clean fresh water available at all times.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: straw, molasses, limestone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypical analysis: energy 7.5 MJ\/kg.
