FAQs

How much HayCare should I feed my horse?

Replace the weight of hay you would normally feed with the same weight of HayCare. Adjust amounts based on your horse's needs and activity level. Consult with your vet for advice.

Can I feed HayCare to foals?

Yes, HayCare can be fed to foals, but always introduce it gradually and in appropriate amounts based on the foal's age and nutritional requirements. Consult your vet for advice.

How long can the soaked nuts be stored?

Soaked HayCare should be used within 12 hours of soaking to prevent spoilage. Do not feed it if it looks or smells off.

Do I need to add any supplements?

HayCare is a complete fiber source. You may offer your usual complementary feeds as well. Consult with your vet or an equine nutritionist for a balanced diet.

What if my horse doesn't like the taste?

The nuts are usually palatable, but if your horse is hesitant, you can try mixing them with other feeds or adding a small amount of molasses to improve the taste. Gradually introduce to the normal feeding routine.

Is HayCare suitable for horses with laminitis?

HayCare is naturally low in sugar and starch, making it suitable for horses prone to laminitis. Always monitor your horse's condition and consult with your veterinarian for specific dietary recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Nuts are too dry or not fully soaked.

Ensure you are using the correct water-to-nut ratio (2.5 parts water to 1 part nuts). Allow sufficient time for absorption.

Horse is not eating the nuts.

Try mixing the soaked nuts with other feeds to improve palatability. Ensure the nuts are fresh and haven't been soaked for too long.
