This Horslyx Small Holder Block is a palatable, high energy, mineralised feed lick which provides a concentrated source of sugar that's important to help maintain rumen digestive efficiency, since grass sugar levels fall dramatically both after dull, wet weather and as the grazing season progresses from summer into autumn. Sugar is vital for optimum forage digestion in ruminants. Smallholder Block is a free-access, highly palatable and weather-proof lick that encourages a natural, trickle feeding grazing pattern and balances the nutrient deficiencies in modern forage and grazing. Available in 5 Kg.
This guide is for horse owners looking to maintain their horse's digestive health, particularly when grazing conditions are less than ideal. The Horslyx Small Holder Block provides a palatable, high-energy, and mineralized feed lick, which can help support rumen digestive efficiency. Keep in mind that while this block is beneficial, it should complement, not replace, a balanced feeding plan.
