• Molasses coating — makes the chaff sweeter and more palatable, encouraging even fussy feeders
• Limestone flour — a bioavailable source of calcium to support strong bones, healthy teeth, and growth
• Versatile — mix with hard feed to slow eating, add bulk, or improve palatability
• Suitable for all horses and ponies — a simple, effective everyday chaff

How to Feed

Mix with hard feed or balancer to add fibre and slow eating rate. Can also be fed as a standalone chaff alongside forage. Follow the feeding guide on pack. Always ensure fresh water is available.

FAQ

What is the purpose of adding chaff to feed?

Adding chaff to hard feed slows the eating rate, encourages chewing, and increases saliva production — all of which support healthy digestion and reduce the risk of choke and gastric ulcers. It also adds bulk to the feed ration without significantly increasing calories.

Is Mollichaff Original suitable for laminitic horses?

Mollichaff Original contains molasses, which adds sugar. It may not be appropriate for horses with laminitis or insulin dysregulation. Consider Mollichaff Light (molasses-free) or Hoofkind for laminitis-prone horses.

Can I feed it to youngstock?

Yes — the added calcium from limestone flour makes Mollichaff Original a good choice for youngstock where bone and tooth development is a priority.

Is it dusty?

Mollichaff Original is a quality chaff product, but if your horse has respiratory sensitivities, consider a dust-extracted option such as Mollichaff Applechaff.

Can I use it as the sole feed?

Mollichaff Original is a chaff and does not provide a complete vitamin and mineral profile on its own. It should be fed alongside a balancer or complete feed to ensure a fully balanced diet.
