🆘 Struggling with low Hay and Grass?! Don’t worry, here at Avon Animal Feeds we have you covered! Try our in stock Fibre-Based Alternatives from Dengie & Mollichaff! 🆘
📣 How to make the switch safely?
✅ Replace hay weight-for-weight with fibre replacer.
✅ Every horse needs 1.5% of body weight in forage (dry matter) daily - A 500 kg horse, for instance, needs around 7.5 kg—this is vital even when using concentrates.
✅ Use small-holed or double-net haynets to slow feeding and reduce waste.
