The chaff proposed by us is pure alfalfa without additions. Provides high quality protein, well digestible fiber and well digestible calcium to the diet of horses.
The unique process of preparing our chaff includes several steps to offer you, in the end, a two-component product consisting of:
- a typical chaff from alfalfa, which is the cut stems of this valuable plant. These fibrous parts are highly valued, as their composition includes a greater share of digest fibre than typical hay, providing free-release energy. This makes alfalfa a more concentrated energy-oriented meal. The fiber also stimulates the digestive system and is a desirable ingredient of food conducive to the proliferation of "good" bacteria in the gut. This results in improved digestion and increased immunity in horses.
- granules, or compressed parts of alfalfa, which are usually crushed and are the most valuable. The leaves, buds and small parts of the stems with low fibrosis in the typical hay with alfalfa are crushed or excavated, can also cause pollination and irritate the horse's respiratory system. And that's where the most nutritional value is. Our alfalfa in the preparation process is first thoroughly sifted from the above fractions, longer and stiffer parts are cut, and small fractions are granulated.
Chaff is recommended for administration of:
- horses with stomach ulcers - chaff administered before work helps to prevent the spread of stomach acid to the part of the glandless stomach,
- to older horses - highly digestible, with a favourable composition
- nervous horses having a problem with their body weight; it helps build weight without causing hyperactivity while supporting optimal blood sugar
- breeding horses; foal mares, feeding mares, young, growing horses
- horses in recovery
- where the hay is given to horses of poor quality (pregnant, green, odourless).

Chaff can be used in daily diet in several ways.
- to add energy, protein, fibre to feed the horse to feed with solid feed or as a separate meal
- in order to slow down the intake of feed and improve the chewing of the feed, chaff should be extracted with the dose of the feed.
- in order to protect the atrial part of the stomach from ulcers, administer a handful or two of chaff immediately before driving

horses not working and working lightly - to 100 g on 100 kg body weight
