Meadow Forage Pellets contain five species of forage, grown together in a mixed ley rather than blended after harvest — meadow fescue, tall fescue, sainfoin, birdsfoot trefoil and chicory. Growing them together supports sustainable UK farming, and feeding them together supports something else: a wider range of gut microbes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat variety is the whole point of the product. A horse eating a single forage all winter has a narrower microbiome than one eating several, and gut microbial diversity underpins how well a horse digests everything else it eats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive forage species grown together in a mixed ley, adding genuine variety to the diet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated to support a wide range of beneficial gut microbes, aiding condition and performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh fibre with medium digestible energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly palatable, and useful for tempting fussy horses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree from cereals, molasses, soya, straw, additives and preservatives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGM free, and registered with the Vegan Society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrown sustainably in the UK.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreasing dietary variety and supporting gut health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFussy or selective eaters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses needing improved condition and performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in treat balls, or as a training aid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak until free from hard lumps, using 1 part pellets to 2.5 parts water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart with 100g per 100kg bodyweight per day, dry weight before soaking — 500g daily for a 500kg horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncrease as required, up to a maximum of 4.5kg per day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA level Stubbs bowl scoop holds approximately 1.5kg dry weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be fed alone, or alongside a Simple System chop and balancer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeadow fescue, tall fescue, sainfoin, birdsfoot trefoil, chicory. 20kg bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein 9–15%.
