Benefits of Chaff
Fibre is the main soure of energy in the horses diet, higher fibre diets promote gastrointestinal health by supporting hindgut fermentation. High fibre diets have been reported to reduce the incidence of digesive issues such as gastric ulcers, hind gut acidosis and tying up. Recent studies have shown the benefits of providing a fibre based feed, such as chaff, before exercise to create a “fibre matt” within the stomach and avoid acidic “splashes” that can lead to gastric ulceration.
