Chaffs - are considered as a high fibre feed which is incredibly important for a horse's digestive system and immune function. As horses are predominantly fibre digesters or hindgut fermenters, fibre is not just a 'filler', it is vital for their energy levels.
Linseed - provides a quality protein whose amino acid profile is great for skeletal muscle development, it contains those components that support muscle recovery and regeneration after exercise, whilst short chains of amino acids – bioactive peptides – support the blood system and help maintain blood pressure.
Molasses - is actually vital for horses as an energy source and the central nervous system (including the brain) specifically requires glucose for energy. Other benefits of the addition of molasses to chaffs and mixes are the natural nutrients contained within, such as potassium, iron, calcium, salt and B vitamins.
