Mitavite Extruded Barley 20kg
Steam Extrusion increases digestibility in the small intestine - from around 21% for whole/rolled barley to over 90% for Steam Extruded Barley, reducing the risk factors for laminitis, diarrhoea and colic.
Steam Extruded feeds/grains take longer to eat. Horses eat slower, producing more saliva, which has a protective effect against high stomach acid levels and the risk of ulcers.
The increased digestibility means that less Stream Extruded Barley is fed to meet energy requirements compared to whole/rolled/steam flaked barley. This offers advantages in terms of 'Weight Handicap' and cost.
Low moisture content increases the shelf life and improves stable air quality.
