FAQ

Why do donkeys need a different feed to horses?

Donkeys have different nutritional requirements to horses. They are naturally trickle feeders adapted to sparse, fibrous vegetation and are highly prone to obesity and laminitis on rich pasture or high-calorie feeds. Mollichaff Donkey is specifically formulated to meet these needs with a low-energy, high-fibre profile.

Is it suitable for mules?

Yes — Mollichaff Donkey is suitable for donkeys, mules, and laminitis-prone horses and ponies.

What does HoofKind approved mean?

The HoofKind mark indicates the product has been independently verified as low in starch and sugar, making it safe for animals prone to laminitis or insulin dysregulation.

Can I feed it to a horse or pony?

Yes — Mollichaff Donkey carries the HoofKind logo and is suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis, as well as donkeys and mules.

Does it replace hay?

When fed at the recommended levels, Mollichaff Donkey can be used as a total forage replacer. However, providing access to good quality forage alongside is always recommended where possible.
