Product Information
Full details
This guide is for horse owners seeking a balanced and palatable feed option for their horses and ponies. Baileys High Fibre Complete Nuggets offer a high-fibre, low-starch solution, ideal for a wide range of equines, from those at rest to those in light to moderate work. A key benefit is their suitability for fussy eaters and those with chewing difficulties, as they can be easily softened into a mash. However, as with any feed, it's essential to monitor your horse's individual needs and adjust the amount accordingly.

FAQs
How should I introduce Baileys High Fibre Complete Nuggets to my horse?
Introduce the nuggets gradually over a period of several days to allow your horse's digestive system to adjust. Start with a small amount and increase it gradually, according to the feeding guidelines.
Can I feed this to my laminitic prone horse?
The low starch content makes this feed a good option, however, always consult your vet or an equine nutritionist for specific advice.
Can these nuggets be used as a complete feed?
No, it is designed to be fed alongside forage sources like hay or pasture to provide a balanced diet.
How much should I feed my horse?
The amount depends on your horse's weight, workload, and individual needs. Refer to the feeding guidelines on the packaging and consult with your vet or equine nutritionist.
How long can the nuggets be stored after opening?
Once opened, store the nuggets in a cool, dry place, and use them within a reasonable timeframe. Check the packaging for specific storage instructions and best-before dates.
Can I use these nuggets for my donkey?
Yes, Baileys High Fibre Complete Nuggets are suitable for donkeys, but adjust the feeding amount as donkeys often require less feed than horses.
