We have received feedback that some customers are finding the first of these new batches, 𝗦𝗦𝗕-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰𝟬𝟱𝟭𝟲-𝟬𝟬𝟭 and 𝗦𝗦𝗕-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰𝟬𝟱𝟯𝟭-𝟬𝟬𝟭, are taking longer the usual 15-30 minutes to soak.

Some years, this will not noticeably effect the soak time, as the ambient temperature is usually higher come June, but this year some customers have found there are still hard lumps remaining after their usual 30 minute soak.

▪ Soak in the morning for your evening feed and evening for your morning feed.
▪ If you have access to it, using hot or warm water will significantly decrease soak time. If using hot water, please do ensure your feed is completely cool before offering.
▪ Increase the amount of water used. If you typically soak in 2.5 times its volume of water, try increasing this to 3 times its volume.

We know that many of our HayCare customers choose this product specifically for the high fibre and low sugar levels, so wanted to reassure you that this is completely natural and not an indication of increased feed value. The pellets are still 100% Timothy grass, from the same grower, and the nutritional profile remains in line with our specification for this product.

The colour is a richer green than other recent batches as the Timothy grass in these pellets was harvested, dried and pressed only 2-3 weeks ago. As the year goes on the vibrant colour will gradually fade, as you will see if you compare pellets from your previous bag to the new ones. This transition point is not always so noticeable, but the colour difference is particularly stark this year due to the poor weather during the growing season for this cut. It has been incredibly wet, and the standing crop has had little to no sun on it, resulting in a brighter colouring than usual. This has been further exaggerated because the sun bleaching that would usually occur whilst the cut grass dries naturally in the field, before it is collected and finished off in the rotary drier, just hasn’t happened with the overcast weather.

Launching 22nd May! If of interest will stock just let us know! Simple System Horse Feeds

16/05/2024

FYI

Due to environmental issues, coupled with equipment supply problems, the following feeds with batch dates in April may take longer to soak.

Feeds: Fast Fibre, Veteran Light & Care & Gain

Rest assured, the formulas are unchanged and provide the same excellent nutrition, therefore the feed can be fed as long as all pellets are thoroughly soaked.

please soak until all pellets are fully dissolved and a mash is formed, we suggest making your evening feed in the morning and vice versa.
