Lucerne Chaff

Chaff is the fibre that is essential to every feed for horses. Adding chaff to grain slows down the intake of the feed and encourages horses to chew more producing more saliva which helps buffer stomach acids.

Calcium is a key to reducing the possibility of ulcers in your horses' stomach as it can adjust the pH and reduce the acid effect. Calcium is found naturally in legumes such as lucerne and clover. Feeding lucerne chaff and a good formula mineral supplement will provide all the calcium needed.  

Horse Business is dedicated to producing good quality, dust free chaff. 

FEEDING ADVICE

An average horse of around 16.1hh and in light to moderate work will need to eat 1.5-2% of its bodyweight in forage intake each day.

At least half of that should be in grass or hay or forage.

So our average horse (500kg) will need to eat about 10Kg forage per day to maintain condition.

Feeding lucerne chaff and a good formula mineral supplement will provide all the calcium needed.
