Wiesen-Cobs
- gently dried
- dust-free
- low-fructan
- no additives
marstall Wiesen-Cobs contain warm-air dried hay from the biodiverse meadows of the Allgäu. The cobs are natural, low in protein and high in fibre. No molasses are added during the production process and the cobs contain very little fructan.
Soaked marstall Wiesen-Cobs make an ideal hay replacement – even for horses with chewing problems
As a foraging species, horses have evolved to digest lush, speciesrich grasses. The meadows of the Allgäu are home to a wide variety of grasses and the late harvest, gentle chopping process and immediate warm-air drying all mean that our marstall Wiesen-Cobs are a top quality source of forage with an excellent structural effect.
marstall Wiesen-Cobs can be fed as a forage supplement or as a complete hay replacement and are also ideal for veteran horses. When it comes to storage, the 16 mm cobs take up little space and are dust-free. They should be soaked with sufficient water for around half an hour before feeding.
