How to Introduce Fresh Sprouted Barley to Your Horse

A gradual transition Introduce new feed gradually, usually over 7–10 days or longer if individually advised. A suitable amount depends on weight, work, the current ration and product composition.

Daily checks Monitor intake, droppings and behaviour. Use clean tubs and do not serve mouldy or foul-smelling fodder. Contact a veterinarian if concerns arise.

The whole ration Fresh barley fodder does not automatically replace hay or pasture. Always provide clean drinking water. Discuss an individual plan with an equine nutritionist.
