Thunderbrook Hay Cobs are a completely dust free high fibre forage based feed that can be fed as a full or partial hay replacer.
The product has no preservatives, additives, binders, GMO ingredients, waste byproducts, chemical processing or straw. Tested pesticide free.
These Haycobs are specially made to be fed dry, by using a technique which compresses them into very hard nuts. This means that they do not crumble or produce dust when broken in two.
It also encourages the horse to chew them thoroughly and produce saliva in doing so, to break them down further.
If a horse bolts its feed by eating quickly and not chewing sufficiently, we would recommend soak them into a mash. Because they are so tightly compressed, they will take longer to soak and make into a mash. You should soak the product for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight to make sure there are no hard centres left in the mash.
Features :
- Over 50 varieties of alpine grasses and herbs grown to a mature stage for high fibre levels
- No presoaking required. Innovative processing technology for highly compressed dust free cobs that can be fed dry
- Suitable for horses with a sensitive digestion
- Low sugar and starch
- No preservatives, additives, binders, GMO ingredients, waste byproducts, chemical processing or straw
- When feeding cobs dry, they must be fed separately, not as part of a mash (or sprinkled on top) as your horse must be able to chew them thoroughly
Composition: Dried alpine grasses and herbage.
Analysis: Haycobs are a natural product. Over 50 varieties of Bavarian alpine grasses and herbs are cut from in excess of 1000 acres and there will be variations in the analyses due to number of cuts per year, time of cut, weather, location of field, etc.
*The Analyses shown are therefore ranges across various batches.
Feeding guide:
Feed as a high fibre based forage feed. If feeding as a hay replacement, feed from 500g to 1kg per 100kg bodyweight daily, split meals throughout the day. Can be fed dry by hand as treats. For veterans or horses with poor dental state, the cobs can be presoaked with warm water to make a tasty mash.
