FAQ

Why is dust extraction important?

Dust in forage and chaff can irritate the respiratory tract, particularly in horses with conditions such as Equine Asthma (formerly RAO/COPD) or those stabled for long periods. Dust-extracted chaff like Applechaff reduces this risk, making it a safer choice for horses with respiratory sensitivities.

Is it suitable for fussy feeders?

Yes — Mollichaff Applechaff is specifically designed with fussy feeders in mind. The combination of real apple pieces, apple essence, and molasses creates a highly palatable feed that encourages even reluctant horses to eat.

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Mollichaff Applechaff contains molasses and apple pieces, which add sugar. It may not be appropriate for horses with laminitis or insulin dysregulation. Consider Mollichaff Light for a molasses-free, low-sugar option.

Can I use it to disguise medication or supplements?

Yes — the strong apple flavour makes Applechaff an excellent carrier for medications or supplements that horses may otherwise refuse. Mix the supplement thoroughly into the chaff before feeding.

Does it contain cereals?

No — Mollichaff Applechaff is based on wheat straw and does not contain cereal grains, making it lower in starch than cereal-based feeds.
