RICH RIVER RHODES CHAFF – 20KG

🌾 RICH RIVER RHODES: Why Oxalate Levels Matter in Chaff 🐴

Oxalate is a natural compound found in many pastures — and while it may sound harmless, it actually blocks nutrient absorption in your horse’s digestive system. Most importantly, it binds to calcium, making it insoluble and unavailable to the body.

💡 For every 1% of oxalate present, calcium absorption can drop by up to 60%. And that may have serious implications for bone health, development, and performance.

Unfortunately, most feed tags don’t list oxalate levels. So what can you do?

✅ Choose chaff from pastures naturally low in oxalates — like Rhodes Grass.

That’s where Rich River Rhodes Chaff shines. Rhodes is biologically different from many other grasses — it evolved producing less oxalate, meaning more of the calcium in your horse’s diet actually gets absorbed.

At Lily’s Feed, we’ve chosen to stock Rich River Rhodes Chaff because:
🔹 It’s low in oxalate
🔹 It’s a great choice for horses on high-oxalate pasture
🔹 It supports calcium uptake and overall nutrient absorption
🔹 And it’s consistently high-quality, with lab-tested nutritional integrity

Whether your horse needs extra support for bones, is grazing on tropical pasture, or you just want a clean, dependable fibre source — Rich River Rhodes is a smart choice.

🟢 Better calcium absorption = stronger, healthier horses.
