Introduction
Meadow mix chaff blends several grass species—often ryegrass, cocksfoot and meadow grasses—to create a balanced, versatile forage. For performance horses, choosing the right chaff can support energy demands, gut health and overall condition.

1. Balanced Energy Release
Meadow mix provides moderate levels of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), delivering slow-release energy that sustains effort without provoking insulin spikes or excitability during competition.

2. Enhanced Gut Motility
A blend of fibre lengths encourages chewing and saliva production, buffering stomach acid and promoting healthy hindgut fermentation—key to avoiding gastric ulcers and colic in high-stress horses.

3. Optimal Hydration
Moderate moisture content and the fibrous structure of meadow grasses help retain water within the gut, aiding hydration and supporting muscle function during prolonged exercise.

4. Palatability and Variety
Horses relish the textural diversity of a mix. Meadow chaff encourages consistent intake—even in picky feeders—ensuring steady nutrient delivery prior to training or racing.

5. Joint and Muscle Maintenance
A well-balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in quality meadow grasses supports bone density and muscle repair, contributing to soundness and resilience over a demanding season.
