Horse nutrition!

Which chaff should you use?

A great tip is to feed a mix of different chaff types as variety helps support the gut microbiome, which improves digestion and energy production.

Chaff Types

🍀 Lucerne

• Higher in protein and energy than most grass or cereal chaffs
• Very fibrous → encourages chewing and saliva production, helping buffer stomach acid
• Lower in starch and sugars than many grass hays
• High in calcium, which supports gut health and may help reduce ulcer risk (great before riding or travel)
• Rich in calcium and magnesium, plus vitamins A and E when fresh
• Typically low in phosphorus; mineral levels vary by growing conditions
• Ideal for performance horses, young/growing horses, seniors needing condition, and those recovering from injury
• Can suit laminitic horses needing quality protein for hoof repair

Not ideal for easy keepers or ponies already meeting protein needs on pasture

Use: Fibre, protein, energy

⸻

🌿 Meadow Chaff

• Usually a mix of grass species, so nutrient levels can vary
• Later-cut (more mature) grass = lower protein and energy
• Generally lower in protein and energy than lucerne
• Quality depends on leaf-to-stem ratio (more leaf = better nutrition)

Use: Fibre, energy

⸻

🌾 Oaten Chaff

• Made from the hay or stubble of oat crops
• Good fibre source, typically low in protein
• Often higher in sugars and starch; mineral levels can be poor
• Early-cut oaten chaff can be sweeter and more energy-dense

Use: Fibre

⸻

🌱 Timothy Chaff

• A horse-friendly grass commonly grown in NZ and Australia
• Lower in protein and sugar than lucerne
• Usually low in non-structural carbohydrates—great for horses prone to laminitis or insulin resistance
• Note: stress before harvest can increase sugar/starch levels

Use: Fibre, moderate protein, energy

Our winter opening hours will take effect from Friday the 1st of May

We have had to suspended Vet consults temporarily due to extended staff sickness but can still offer some non urgent appointments.

We can offer full service to all our Whitford clients at our Pakuranga clinic.

We always have a Veterinary Nurse on site and will continue to offer Nurse consults and medications prescribed by our Vets alongside horse feed and retail.

We do apologise for the inconvenience but are doing our best under unexpected circumstances.

Today we remember and honour all the brave heroes who served and sacrificed, for our tomorrow they gave thier today.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget
