COMPLETE FEED: Mollichaff Calmer is a highly palatable mix containing a balanced blend of fibre pellets, oat straw, dried grass, herbs and soya oil, along with a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement.

When fed at the recommended levels to horses in maintenance or light work, Mollichaff Calmer needs no further supplementation other than good quality forage. Alternatively, Mollichaff Calmer can be added or used to replace a proportion of an existing feed.

MAGNESIUM: Mollichaff Calmer contains elevated levels of magnesium derived from several bio-available sources. This is important for all horses as magnesium is often deficient in UK soil, but is of significant importance to 'fizzy' horses. Magnesium levels are an important factor in the nutritional support of metabolic processes in the horse, including regulating the nerve fibres which control the central nervous system. A diet deficient in magnesium can result in increased muscle contraction, making the horse less able to relax and more likely to become excitable. CAMOMILE, LEMON BALM and MINT: Mollichaff Calmer contains a carefully formulated combination of camomile, lemon balm and mint. These herbs are thought to create a calming effect on horses and ponies, through the provision of nutritional support to various internal systems, but in particular to the nervous and digestive systems. This makes them an ideal addition to the diet of nervous horses and ponies. VITAMINS: Mollichaff Calmer contains a broad spectrum of Vitamins, including Vitamins B1 and B12, which are widely thought to help decrease anxiety by exerting a calming influence horses, along with Vitamin E which is beneficial to cell membrane function in horses. Mollichaff Calmer is suitable to be fed to horses and ponies that are prone to stress reactions, including laminitics, and should be introduced gradually as with all new feedstuffs. The calming effects should be noticeable after Mollichaff Calmer has been fed at the recommended quantity for 2-4 weeks.
