Baileys Natural Meadow Cobs 20KG.
Baileys Natural Meadow Cobs are perfect for feeding to any horse alongside their existing diet.
Natural Meadow Cobs have been harvested from perennial meadows, growing in the foothills of the Bavarian Pre-Alps, in southern Germany. They contain an appetising blend of up to 60 different species of naturally-occurring meadow grasses, wildflowers and herbs. These are all high in fibre, yet low in sugars, starch and calories as the plants have been left to mature before cutting. They are then coarsely chopped and high-temperature dried, in a facility powered by renewable biomass-fuelled electricity, and pressed into chunky cobs.
The grasses which are used are harvested at a point when fibre content is at its highest and comprises higher levels of structural fibre than many other soaked fibre sources, making them ideal as a replacement for long forages, like hay, haylage or grass. The aroma and texture of fresh grasses is brought out by soaking, making Natural Meadow Cobs perfect for tempting fussy or poor forage eaters, including working or performance horses, while also being ideal for those who struggle with grazing and chewing forages.
They have no added vitamins and minerals so can be fed alongside an existing balanced diet to any horse whether they are a good-doer or one which struggles with condition, as an appetising additional fibre source, without causing any nutritional imbalances. They’re also molasses, grain and alfalfa-free with only low levels of naturally occurring sugars. Natural Meadow Cobs are perfect for feeding as full or partial hay replacers, to replace beet or chaff in feeds or to bulk a feed out making it more appetising to eat for your horse.
Healthy gut function is essential to ensure a horse can extract as much nutrition as possible from their whole diet. Ensuring fibre intake is consistently at healthy levels is an important contributor to this and Natural Meadow Cobs contain high levels of structural fibre which supports gut function. You can also make the Meadow Cobs with more water than is needed to increase your horses water intake to help with hydration.
