Thunderbrook Meadow Nuts is a complementary forage feed for horses. The meadows from which these nuts are produced consist primarily of traditional meadow grasses, including Birdsfoot Trefoil, Cocksfoot, Golden Foxtail, Golden Oatgrass, Meadow Fescue, Red Fescue, Smooth Common Meadowgrass and Timothy. No modern Hybrid Ryegrasses have been sown in these meadows. No chemical fertilisers are used on any grassland on the farm, and the Meadow Nuts are tested pesticide and herbicide free. The meadows are allowed to grow to a mature stage for lower sugar and higher fibre content. Unlike most grass production farms where the grass is cut continuously throughout the growing season, these meadows are cut only once or twice per year. Meadow Nuts are low in sugar and starch, quick soaking 8mm nuts, and are suitable for horses prone to laminitis. They are a good source of quality high fibre and are naturally grown without chemical treatment. Composition: 100% dried Meadow Grasses and herbage. Analysis (2017/18 Harvest, Tested 04/10/2017): Ash 13.6%, Crude Protein 10.5%, Crude Oil 0.1%, Crude Fibre 31.5%, DE 8.55 MJ/kg, Magnesium 0.18%, Phosphorus 0.27%, Sugar 9%, Starch 1%. Meadow Nuts are a natural product, cut from in excess of 1000 acres. There may be slight variations in the analyses due to time of cut, weather, and location of field. Meadow Nuts may be fed dry or soaked in water to make a palatable mash. When soaking, ensure the mash is free from any hard lumps before feeding. As with any dry feed, be aware that animals that bolt their feed may be at risk of choke; for these animals, soaking thoroughly to make a mash is recommended.
