Troubleshooting

Horse is not eating the mash.

Ensure the mash is not too dry or too wet. Adjust the water ratio to achieve the right consistency. Try adding a small amount of palatable feed to encourage consumption.

Horse has loose stools after starting Meadow Mash.

Gradually introduce the feed over 14 days to allow the digestive system to adapt. Reduce the amount initially if necessary.

The mash is taking longer than 5 minutes to soak.

Ensure the water is at room temperature or slightly warmer. Stir the mixture well to help the pellets break down evenly.

Horse seems to be eating too quickly.

Use a slow feeder or spread the mash over a larger area to slow down consumption. Adding water to create a wetter mash can also help.
