NAF Value Molasses 5 Litre

NAF Molasses – 5L

Premium-grade, un-sulphured sugar cane molasses, poured over the feed to make it worth eating. The use case is straightforward: a shy or bored feeder will often clear a bucket that has been sweetened when it would otherwise pick at it, and molasses damps down the dust in a dry mix at the same time.

One thing to be clear about, because our own earlier copy got it wrong: NAF do not describe this as low-sugar, and cane molasses is not a low-sugar feed. It is a palatability aid for horses that can take sugar, and it should be kept well away from those that cannot.
