⚠️Do you know that cereal chaff can be very high in starches and sugars? If you're using chaff, make sure you're accounting for the NSC levels when balancing your horses' diet. Here are a few things to remember:

➡️ Cereal chaff is not suitable for horses that are prone to laminitis, metabolic conditions and ulcers. NSC levels of oaten chaff in WA are around 31.5% but can be even higher depending on the region.

➡️Sugars and starch do provide valuable energy for performance horses that need high calories to support their workloads, but make sure it is balanced with their concentrates which will already be providing quality energy.

➡️For horses with low workloads, a cereal chaff or hay can give them too much energy, and you may see fizzy or 'hot' behaviour. If seeing this, make sure you reduce the chaff or seek a cool alternative before changing your concentrates.

➡️ Look at a chaff alternative like Lupin Fibre Cubes, which is much lower in starch and sugars and actually higher in quality fibres. It has high levels of pectins which promote gut health and is a more-cost effective fibre source.
