Controlled Energy, Improved Digestion & Palatability

Barastoc Steamed Flaked Barley & Molasses is a premium supplementary horse feed designed to provide a highly digestible source of energy for horses in work.

Using a specialised steam flaking process, the barley is easier to digest and safer than traditional grains, helping reduce digestive complications often associated with high grain diets. The addition of molasses improves taste and reduces dust, encouraging consistent intake.

Key Benefits

• Horses on pasture requiring supplementation
• Performance and working horses

Why Steam Flaked Barley?

• Steam flaking improves digestibility and nutrient availability
• Helps reduce risk of digestive upset compared to raw grains
• Provides efficient energy for performance and weight gain

Feeding Guide

Typical Feeding Rates (guide):

• Introduce at ~500g per day, gradually increasing
• Horses (500kg): 1kg – 3kg per day depending on workload

• Split into multiple feeds per day
• Ensure access to clean, fresh water at all times

• To provide an energy boost for working horses
• For conditioning and weight gain
• As a supplement to forage-based diets
• When needing a more digestible grain option

Important Notes

• Supplementary feed only – not a complete ration
• Must be balanced with vitamins/minerals
• Avoid overfeeding to prevent digestive upset

Storage Instructions
