Oat Straw Chaff is a high-fibre, low-energy forage option suited to horses that need additional bulk without extra calories.
It is a great choice for good-doers, horses on restricted diets, and those needing support with weight management or controlled-energy feeding.
Oat straw is naturally lower in protein and energy than hay-based chaffs, while still providing valuable roughage to encourage chewing, saliva production, and healthy digestive function.
Future Feeds Oat Straw Chaff is processed to a consistent chop length, making it easy to mix through the ration while still helping to extend chew time and reduce feed sorting.
It can also be used to dilute richer feeds such as lucerne or oaten chaff, helping balance overall ration energy while maintaining palatability.
