Mollichaff Barley-Plus is a highly digestible extruded barley nugget with linseed, added calcium and salt. The extrusion of grains increases digestibility in the small intestine. Over feeding of unprocessed grains may result in undigested grains in the hind gut. The micro flora in the hind gut will attempt to digest these grains, altering the local environment making it very acidic, commonly termed as acidosis. Acidosis can predispose horses to colic, laminitis and stereotypes such as crib biting.
Linseed is a rich source of amino acids and essential fatty acids including Omega 3 – these improve skin condition and aid a glossy coat. Oil is an excellent non-heating energy source, providing 2.25 times more energy than carbohydrates.
Salt aids palatability and provides the electrolytes sodium and chloride, Barley Plus served as a hydrating mash after work is an efficient way of replacing lost electrolytes.
Added limestone corrects the calcium/phosphorus imbalance of the grain for strong bones and healthy growth.
Barley Plus may be fed up to 50% of the concentrate ration.
Made for the finest farm assured non-GM barley grains and whole linseed.
