Honeychop Chopped Oat Straw

Honeychop’s Chopped Oat Straw is a straight high fibre feed which is screened to remove small straw particles and dust extracted, a pure natural product with nothing added. It is made only from sun dried oat straw and we never use desiccants on our crops.

If you want a chaff with no oil, no soya, no sugar etc. then Honeychop Chopped Oat Straw is the answer!  It is a Free From product and it is Free From almost everything so suitable for horses, ponies and donkeys with intolerance and those with or prone to laminitis. It is perfect for natives and ideal for overweight horses, ponies or donkeys, and those that maintain their weight easily.

Made using only oat straw from our selected assured farms, we can assure every bag is of a consistent high quality. The unique manufacturing process means that the oat straw is screened and cleaned to remove all small fine particles and dust, leaving only a clean, bright soft oat straw chaff for your horse or pony.

It is the perfect natural product, high in fibre but very light in calories with no added sugar and low in starch.

When managing weight loss for equines suffering from laminitis and equine metabolic syndrome, vets recommend that calories need to be reduced to encourage weight loss; also the non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) content of the diet needs to be less than 10%. Honeychop Chopped Oat Straw has a NSC of 2.2% making it the idea feed for those needing to lose weight.

Its golden colour and soft texture makes it visually appealing and highly palatable. It is the lowest calorie fibre feed in the Honeychop range and can be used as a partial hay replacer, simply by exchanging the weight of hay with the same weight of Honeychop Chopped Oat Straw. Being a short chop it prolongs eating time, aids good digestion and keeps horses occupied for longer.

Wouldn’t be without it it in my feed room:-
My good-doer has it as their only ‘hard feed’ along with enough sugar beet to hold supplements.
My veteran chooses to eat it when the grass is rich, leaves it when it’s not.
I use a handful or two before riding if no hay on hand.
Good-doer has it in a trug as extra forage so I don’t have to leave them stood without food.

Very impressed with this product. My mules do very well with it and I use it with soaked sugar beet to provide a high fibre feed for them. Extremely good value as a bag lasts ages!

This product is a lifesaver! I have two ponies with PPID and one with EMS and they always have a big bucket of dampened oat straw ad lib in case they run out of their hay (fed in small mesh soft hay-nets). It has really helped to control weight without the need to soak hay, a huge bonus all round.

I have been feeding your chopped oat straw to my fell pony for over a year and he loves it. It’s perfect with a few soaked low sugar hay cobs to keep him interested. I did try other brands in my quest for a high fiber, low starch/sugar feed, however, yours was the most natural and we haven’t looked back since, I can feed with neigh worries!
