Starch oversupply is currently a major issue in horse feeding. Manger feed rations containing grain in particular provide high amounts of starch, which can put a strain on the horse's gastrointestinal tract and overall metabolism. With the green oat cobs from LEXA, we offer a concentrate substitute that has low starch and sugar contents. The whole green oat plant is harvested at the end of flowering, gently dried and pelleted.
In general, green oats are said to have a number of positive properties:
- Metabolism stimulating
- Digestive regulating
- Balanced C:P ratio
- Natural vital substances
- Tasty
- For weight gain
Special properties
- Natural product – Free from additives, molasses and grains
- Very delicious
- Low sugar and starch content

Ideally suited

- To enhance the crib lining
- For horses with sensitive stomachs and metabolism
- For horses that are difficult to feed
