Super Molichop – Feeding Guide
Super Molichop is a comprehensive range of chaffs and fibre feeds manufactured to the highest specifications using top quality ingredients sourced from approved suppliers.

This feeding guide is designed as a basic guide to quantities of feed required. Remember horses vary in terms of metabolism, temperament etc. and should always be treated as individuals.

Super Molichop Original can be fed ad-lib as required to increase your horse’s fibre intake. It can be added to the concentrate meal / bucket feed or dampened a little and used as a partial hay replacer if required.

However, if your horse or pony is on a calorie-controlled diet or prone to laminitis then Super Molichop Lite will be the preferred choice.

Super Molichop Herbi can also be fed ad-lib as required to increase fibre intake either added to concentrates or used as a partial hay replacer.

Super Molichop Lite can be fed as the sole concentrate diet / bucket feed to horses or ponies on a calorie controlled diet in light work, or with additional concentrates for horses with a more vigorous work schedule. The following table outlines the recommended amounts to be fed as the sole concentrate diet.

How to calculate your horse's weight
Step 1: Find the heart girth in cm’s & multiply it by itself = A
Step 2: Multiply A by the length of the horse (point of shoulder to point of hip) = B
Step 3: Divide B by 11877 & this gives you a fairly accurate estimate of bodyweight.
