marstall Wiesen-Chips are the quick alternative to marstall Wiesen-Cobs.
marstall Wiesen-Chips are made from the proven diverse natural meadows of the Allgäu. The late harvest and gentle processing ensure high levels of crude fibre combined with low protein and fructan content. When soaked, marstall Wiesen-Chips are ideal for hiding medication or similar in a feed. Kept dry and mixed with concentrates. They slow the feeding time.
