Barley

Grain is spindle shaped with a wide groove down one side.

Barley is a high energy, medium protein cereal grain. Most of the energy is in the form of starch. Less palatable than other cereals.

Maize

Maize is a high energy, low protein cereal grain with the majority of energy supplied as starch. Good palatability. Low mineral status especially calcium.

Front 5

Back 5

Oats

Grain is elongated with one end slightly flattened and has a fibrous coat.

Oats are a medium energy, low protein cereal grain. A greater proportion of the energy is supplied as digestible fibre and oil when compared to wheat and barley. Very palatable.

Wheat

Grain is oval shaped with a deep groove down one side.

Wheat is a very high energy, medium protein cereal grain, with the majority of energy supplied as starch. Good palatability.

Grassnuts

Usually manufactured from Italian and perennial ryegrass with lucerne (alfalfa) increasing in importance.

Rich in crude protein and digestible fire. Retains most of the nutritional value of grass. Green pellet with good palatability.

Grass Silage

Main form of conserved forage in the UK but quality varies dramatically and material should always be analysed. Green leafy to fibrous depending on species and growth stage at cutting.

Palatability varies dramatically.

Whole Crop Wheat Silage

High energy yellow/brown fibrous forage.

Good to average palatability.

Bran

Husk of grains - by-product of flour manufacture.

High in phosphorous and magnesium but low in calcium. Low energy and starch levels. Average palatability.

Front 12

Back 12

Brewers Grains

A moist by-product of the brewing industry. Pale brown with friable texture.

High in digestible fibre and good quality protein which is undegradable due to the heat proces in manufacture. Very palatable and will aid forage intake.

Front 13

Back 13

Citrus Pulp

By-product of fruit processing. Orange to dark brown pellets. Citrus Pulp is a high energy, low protein material, with the energy supplied mainly as sugar and digestible fibre. Palatability good but inclusion of lemon and grapefruit residue can make the product less palatable.

Dark Grains

Cereal grain by-product of the malt whisky industry. Barley Distillers Dark Grains are a high energy and undegradable protein. May contain contain high levels of copper due to copper equipment used in the distillation process and therefore should not be fed to sheep.

Linseed

By-product of the linseed (flax) oil process. Brown meal, lozenge or pellet.

High in energy, oil, carbohydtrates and average protein. Good source of digestible fibre. Brown meal, lozenge or pellet.

Back 16

Maize Gluten

Cereal grain by-product of the starch industry which is available as light brown pellets or meal.

Maize Gluten supplies high levels of energy as starch and digestible fibre and a significant quantity of protein.

Rapeseed Meal

By product of oil manufacture. Brown/black friable oily meal.

A high protein, good energy feed. Poor palatability.

Sugarbeet Shreds

By Product of the sugar industry. Brownish grey shreds.

High in fermentable energy. Similar in energy levels to barley but low in protein. High in digestible fibre. Very palatable but must be soaked before feeding to horses (recommended 12 hours).
