Hello All,

Does anyone has any information on Chaff Haye? It seems to be a great way to improve digestion and our horses are responding very well with it.

They used to be on supplemental pellets but with this haye they are eating less and putting on good weight gain and less waste in the barn.

I have been doing research but the posts seem to be edited out like they start arguments?

Any personal help would be appreciated.

Thanks again for such a great community everyone. You are all a great group of people.

Admin,

Chaffhaye is a pretty decent product to my understanding. It does promote a more dominant coat and mane and tail that everyone in a months time will notice.

I am not sure why the fermentation process helps out so much. I am sure it is a lack of some nutrients that they are not getting.

But everything looks better that our horses are on it.

Hmmm, I'll have to look it up. Interesting, we don't have any commercially sold in our area.

Hey interesting! I don't think I've ever heard of chaff haye now that I read about it.

Thanks for that link, that didnt some up in my searches either. The shelf life is supposed to be pretty long and it has been around for awhile.

But research before purchase.

Spud how long have your horses been on it?

I haven't used Chaff products but do use Spillers Happy Hoof.
From looking @ the other info. they seem to be close to the same thing, just a different company.
I use both the Laminitic for a Cushings pony and the Competitive for our traveling show horses. Its easier to travel with and can be fed in any amount and out of a bucket,less chance of them picking up something from previous stall occupant. Can't say that I've seen any difference except amount fed. Baled hay apprx 1/4-1/2 bale per day. Bagged hay 1 bag per 1 1/2 week. Although it is a UK product most Purina dealers can get it.

I have a friend that uses it and loves the stuff. she had a chronic colicer and was having trouble keeping weight on him. She heard of this product and began to use it and he is doing great now, she even bacame a distributer. Because the product is alreading breaking down the horse doesn't have to do a much work to get all the nutirients out of it. Works great on older horses, hard keepers, etc. From the research that I did when she told me about it, it is a safe product. We live in the desert where temps get to 115-120 in the summer and she has never had a bad batch or had some go bad.
