FAQs

How much Spillers Senior Super-Mash should I feed my horse?

The typical daily feeding rate is 600g per 100kg of bodyweight. However, this may vary depending on the horse's individual needs. Always adjust based on body condition and activity level.

Can I feed this to a horse that is not a senior?

While formulated for senior horses, it can be beneficial to other horses, especially those with dental issues or digestive sensitivities. However, you should consult with your vet.

How long does it take to soak the mash?

The mash soaks quickly. Typically, it is ready to feed within 5-10 minutes when using warm water.

Can I mix this with other feeds?

Yes, Spillers Senior Super-Mash can be mixed with other feeds to provide a balanced diet. However, it's recommended to consult with your veterinarian.

How should I store the Spillers Senior Super-Mash?

Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and in a container that prevents moisture and pests.

What if my horse doesn't like the apple aroma?

The apple aroma is designed to enhance palatability, but if your horse does not like it, you can experiment with adding a small amount of molasses or other palatable ingredients.

Is this mash suitable for horses with laminitis?

Yes, it is suitable as it is whole cereal and molasses free and has a low sugar and starch recipe, making it appropriate for horses prone to laminitis.

Troubleshooting

Horse is not eating the mash.

Ensure the mash is soaked to a palatable consistency. Try using warm water and mixing in a small amount of palatable feed to encourage intake. Check teeth for any potential discomfort.

Mash is too dry or too wet.

Adjust the water to mash ratio. For a drier mash, use less water; for a wetter mash, use more.

Horse has loose stools.
