Wiesen-Fasern
- no need to soak
- an extra portion of texture
- low-fructan
- no additives
marstall Wiesen-Fasern are chopped, warm-air dried loose hay chaff, with their Allgäu origin guaranteed. They can also be fed dry.
A handful of marstall Wiesen-Fasern is ideal for adding chewable texture to concentrated feeds.
marstall Wiesen-Fasern consist of biodiverse hay from pure Allgäu highland meadows. The late harvest means that the marstall Wiesen-Fasern are very rich in crude fibre and low in fructan. The 1-2 cm long pieces of chaff can be mixed with concentrated feeds to stimulate chewing and provide additional crude fibre for the flora in the hindgut.
Single feed for horses

Feeding advice
marstall Wiesen-Fasern can be fed dry. However, we recommend moistening it, especially when starting to feed. A soaking time is not necessary.
