• Nutritionally consistent

Quality controls and procedures mean there is little variation in nutritional values of each batch of MultiCube Hay Cubes.

• Palatable and easy to digest

Hay Cubes are easy for horses to chew. Increased chewing time increases saliva which is great for a horse’s digestive system.
Soaking the Hay Cubes makes them soft but not crumbly making them ideal for horses with worn or damaged teeth.

• Retained fibre length

Our hay is coarsely chopped to allow fibre length to be retained by the cubing process. Fibre length is important for maintaining good
teeth and a healthy digestive system.

• Easy portion control

The consistent weight of Hay Cubes allows for quick easy feed preparations. Less than half the volume of Hay Cubes is needed to substitute the same weight of chaff.

• Selective foraging is eliminated

Hay Cubes contain the entire plant, ensuring no selective separation occurs.

• Reduced waste and minimal dust

As much as 15% of baled hay can be wasted during feeding. Less than 1% of Hay Cubes are lost, which saves feed costs. Minimal dust occurs in our Hay Cubes, which assists the horse’s respiratory system.

• Convenient to stack, store and handle

Our Hay Cubes are denser than traditional hay and chaff; they take up less room when being stored and in the float when travelling.

• Easy to feed

We make hay easy to stack, store, feed and transport.

Oaten chaff is used in horse and cattle rations and is high in fibre.

Because of their low starch and high fibre content, lupins are digested efficiently in the hindgut of the horse through fermentation. Similar high-fibre feeds used in other areas of the world include beet pulp and soy hulls, although these do not have the high protein or fat content of lupins and are not as energy-dense. These characteristics make lupins particularly suitable for horses that have a low tolerance for starch-rich grains, such as oats or corn, which are digested predominantly in the small intestine.

Horses with a predisposition to tying-up or laminitis, or those horses that get excitable on typical cereal grains, may benefit from the addition of lupins to the diet. Because lupins contain very little starch, they are often considered as an ideal “cool” feed, but their high protein content and the presence of alkaloids means that their inclusion should be limited to 2 kg (4.4 lb) for a 500-kg (1,100-lb) horse. Lupins are the current fad in feeding Standardbreds, and there are horses getting far more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per day.

Convenient for those who like to use a blended feed as the different chaffs have already been mixed together. It’s a great source of roughage (fibre), and popular with pony club and leisure horse owners, particularly as less room is required to store the feed when travelling with horses.

Due to the high fibre levels and the laxative effect, wheat bran should not be fed to young stock.
