Oats, Bran & Straight Feeds for Horses
Our range of straight feeds for horses includes whole and rolled oats, bran, sugar beet and barley. These traditional feeds are renowned for their ability to provide energy and improve condition, making them a staple in many equine diets.
Whole and rolled oats for horses are a popular choice for their high-energy content, ideal for performance horses or those needing an extra boost. Whole oats for horses provide a slow release of energy, while rolled oats are more easily digestible, catering to different feeding strategies and digestive needs. Bran for horses is a valuable addition to an equine's diet, often used to promote healthy digestion. Rich in fibre, horse bran helps maintain a healthy digestive system and can be particularly beneficial for those who need extra fibre. Bran mashes, made by soaking bran in water, offer a warm, comforting meal, especially in colder weather.
Sugar beet pulp is an excellent source of digestible fibre and provides a slow-release energy source. It is highly palatable and adds bulk to the horse's feed, making it an ideal choice for horses needing additional hydration. When soaked, sugar beet pulp expands, ensuring your horse stays well-hydrated and receives a steady energy supply. Barley for horses is another high-energy feed, often used to add condition and weight to horses. It is a versatile grain that can be fed whole, rolled or crushed. Due to its higher starch content, barley is best suited for horses with higher energy requirements or those in need of weight gain, providing a concentrated source of calories.
While these straight feeds are excellent for providing energy and supporting conditions, they are non-complete feeds. This means they do not offer a full balance of essential vitamins and minerals. To ensure your horse receives a well-rounded diet, it is crucial to supplement these feeds with a feed balancer. Feed balancers are specifically formulated to provide the missing nutrients, ensuring your horse gets all the vitamins and minerals needed for optimal health and performance.
