It is a high digestible fibre feed and it is very palatable, which is why it is used to get supplements and wormers eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne thing matters here more than anything else, and that is soaking. Trident specify a minimum of 24 hours, at one litre of water to every 200g of pellets. Pellets are dense and hard and take far longer than flaked beet — this is not a fifteen-minute feed, and treating it as one is dangerous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh digestible fibre energy, released slowly rather than as a starch rush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery palatable, so it carries supplements and wormers into a fussy feeder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStarch of just 0.7%, so the energy is not coming from cereal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetabolisable energy 12.5 MJ\/kg of dry matter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePelleted rather than shredded, so it stores tidily and measures accurately dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFEMAS assured, and listed as 4.1.11 in the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies needing condition and stamina from fibre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShy and fussy feeders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting powders, supplements and wormers eaten.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCattle, sheep and other stock — Trident publish daily rates for those too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the feed for a laminitic, EMS or PPID horse: the molasses put sugar at 21%.
