Steam Extruded Barley

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Low moisture content increases the shelf life and improves stable air quality.

5. The 'Feeding Rate' is a guide only and the amount selected will vary according to age, state of preparation, work load, body weight, temperature and the quality of available hay, chaff, and/or pasture.
