FAQ

Is Mollichaff Extra a balancer replacement?

Mollichaff Extra provides a broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral premix that can help address common deficiencies in horses on low concentrate diets. However, it may not provide the same comprehensive profile as a dedicated balancer — check the nutritional analysis on pack against your horse's specific requirements.

Why is biotin important for horses?

Biotin (Vitamin B7) is essential for healthy hoof horn production. Supplementing with biotin is widely recommended for horses with poor hoof quality, slow hoof growth, or brittle hooves. Results typically take 6–9 months to become visible as the hoof grows out.

Is it suitable for good-doers?

Mollichaff Extra is a chaff with added vitamins and minerals, making it a useful option for good-doers that need micronutrient support without significant extra calories. Always check the feeding rate on pack.

Does it contain cereals?

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

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Mollichaff Extra contains molasses, which adds sugar. It may not be appropriate for horses with laminitis or insulin dysregulation. Consider Mollichaff Light for a molasses-free option.
