FAQ

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Yes — Baileys Light Chaff is low in starch and sugar, making it a suitable chaff option for horses prone to laminitis. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

Will it make my good-doer put on weight?

Light Chaff is specifically designed to be low in calories, so it can be fed to good-doers without making a significant contribution to their overall diet. It adds fibre and bulk without the calorie load of richer feeds.

Why add chaff to hard feed?

Adding chaff slows the eating rate, encourages chewing, increases saliva production, and adds fibre — all of which support healthy digestion and reduce the risk of choke and gastric ulcers.

Does the soya oil make it high in calories?

The soya oil coating is a light dressing to improve palatability and coat shine — it does not significantly increase the calorie content of the chaff.
