Rug Fill / Weight Guide

The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.

This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.

Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight

  • Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.

  • Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.

  • Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.

  • Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.

  • As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.

  • Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.

This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.

Kibbled Maize, a specially processed whole maize (corn) that undergoes precise roller crushing to achieve a smaller size. Tailored for a diverse range of animals, it is perfect for silkies, bantams, pheasants, doves, pigeons, partridge, and, of course, standard-sized chickens. Additionally, it proves to be an excellent nutritional option for horses, pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, and deer.

Feeding kibbled maize to chickens offers several benefits:

*Digestibility:** The kibbling process, which involves roller crushing the maize, produces cracked pieces that are more easily digestible for chickens. This can contribute to improved nutrient absorption and overall digestive health.

*Nutrient-Rich:** Maize itself is a good source of energy, providing carbohydrates that support the energy needs of chickens. The kibbling process enhances access to these nutrients, offering a well-rounded feed option.

*Dietary Variety:** Including kibbled maize in a chicken's diet adds variety, preventing monotony in their feed. This diversity can lead to a more balanced nutritional intake and can be particularly appealing to chickens with specific taste preferences.

*Suitable for Various Poultry:** Kibbled maize is not only suitable for regular-sized chickens but also for smaller breeds like silkies and bantams. The versatile size of the kibbled maize makes it accessible to a broader range of poultry.
