Omega Equine Herbal Treats for Horses 4kg

Omega Equine Herbal Treats – 4kg

The herbal flavour is the mint and rosemary one — the smell that carries across a yard when you open the pouch, and the flavour most horses recognise instantly. Omega build the nuggets on cereal fibres, grass meal and linseed expeller, and declare 15% crude fibre against 12.5% crude protein.

They come in the same 4kg resealable pouch as the rest of the range. Molasses is in the recipe for binding and palatability, so these are not the treat for a horse on a strict low-sugar regime, but for everything else they are a fibrous reward rather than a sweet.

Performance & Benefits

• Mint and rosemary herbal flavour, strongly aromatic and widely accepted.
• Built on cereal fibres, grass meal and linseed expeller.
• Declared 15% crude fibre and 12.5% crude protein.
• 4kg resealable pouch, so an opened bag keeps and stores flat.
• Nugget size suits hand-feeding, training rewards and hiding a wormer.

Suitable For

• Rewarding, catching and loading horses and ponies.
• Training where you need a lot of small, quickly eaten rewards.
• Horses that respond best to a strong mint smell.
• Not the right treat for a laminitic, insulin-resistant or PPID horse on a strict low-sugar diet, because they contain molasses.

Feeding

• Omega's instruction is simply to feed as an occasional treat, for a reward or a bribe.
• Omega publish no maximum daily quantity, so treat these as extras rather than part of the ration.
• Reseal the pouch after use to keep the nuggets firm.
• 4kg pouch.
