The Essential roughage cubes utilise high quality roughage in order to produce a product suitable for all types of horses. These high fibre cubes are ideal for stretching available hay in times of hay scarcity or when the quality of available roughage is not desirable, ensuring your horse gets the best quality it deserves. The Essential Roughage cubes contain no additional vitamins and minerals which make them ideal for using alongside other fully fortified feeds. The Essential Roughage Cubes are also suitable for dentally challenged equines (and can easily be soaked) as well as those not able to consume long stemmed roughage. When using Essential Roughage to replace a significant portion of a horse’s hay intake, they should preferably be given in small, regular meals to ensure a steady intake of fibre and to encourage chewing and promote healthy digestion. Additional advantages of using Essential Roughage: Reduced feed wastage – very little waste occurs with pellets as compared to the 20% or more wastage with long-stemmed hays. Consistent and maximum nutrient quality – pellets are manufactured under rigid quality control standards and must meet product nutrient guarantees. Avoiding dust and mould spores – minimises exposure to harmful dust and mould spores compared to long-stemmed hays which can be useful for horses with respiratory issu es.
