Feeding Guidelines
How Hard Are You Working Your Horse?
The amount and kind of work your horse or pony is doing is an important factor when calculating the quantity and type of feed to give. Try to use a fibre based diet to promote a healthy digestive system and only use cereal based feeds if absolutely necessary.

How To Get The Most Out Of Feeding Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil
Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil is a straight feed and although it contains natural nutrients it does not provide a balanced diet. We would recommend using a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement or alternatively a feed balancer to supply everything your horse or pony needs, alongside our Meadow Grass horse feed.

Is Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs suitable for horses prone to laminitis?
Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil contains 12% naturally occurring simple sugar. This means we wouldn’t typically recommend it for horses and ponies prone to or suffering from laminitis. When feeding and managing laminitis prone horses or ponies, it is important to take the whole diet into account. Please contact our Nutrition Team for individual advice.
Will my horse gain weight if fed Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil?
At 11.5MJ/kg DE Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil is a conditioning feed when fed in sufficient quantities. If your horse needs to gain weight make sure that enough product is fed as it is very easy to underfeed Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil as it doesn’t weigh very much in a scoop. A Stubbs scoop holds approximately 300g so you will need 3 big heaped scoops to provide 1kg. If you want a lower calorie grass feed check out Dengie Meadow Lite with Herbs.
Can Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil be used as a forage replacer?
Meadow Grass with Herbs & Oil can be used as a partial forage replacer up to 1kg per 100kg of bodyweight daily. The high oil levels in the feed prohibits its use as a total forage replacer.

Good stuff
Dave the Horse –
nay nay yum yum
Kim Atkinson –
I changed to Dengie Meadow Grass from Thunderbrooks chaff and my mare is doing very well on the new chaff. It is very palatable and she eats it all along with nuts and a supplement. She is in work 6 days a week and out competing twice a month so works reasonably hard. She has 8oz twice a day of the Meadow Grass and 1lb of nuts in each feed. She looks and feels really well.
