Top Spec TopChop Zero

TopChop Zero is a natural product made from chopped British oat straw with added apple flavour and mint to enhance palatability. It contains no added molasses or any other sugar coating.

It is designed for horses and ponies that are overweight and need an exceptionally low-calorie source of mature forage. TopChop Zero (DE 4MJ/kg) is much lower in nutritional value than even late-cut meadow hay (DE 7-8 MJ/kg) and can be considered an ‘empty calorie’ fibre source to extend forage and reduce overall nutritional intake. Horses and ponies can pick away steadily at TopChop Zero when they no longer have access to grass or hay or even haylage. By doing this, they will ensure a supply of fibre to the microflora in their hindgut during periods when otherwise there would be no forage supply e.g. from late evening until morning stables. This will be of huge benefit to the horse’s digestive health.

The formula for TopChop Zero was researched and developed at the TopSpec Equine Research Centre and has been approved by the nutritionists for use in most horses with good teeth.

It is ideal for overweight horses and ponies, and horses and ponies who have to eat haylage that is too ‘rich’ for them which often results in loose droppings. It is also suitable for overweight horses and ponies prone to laminitis.

Whilst TopChop Zero is excellent as a partial hay or haylage replacer, it can also be used as a mixer chop for overweight horses and ponies that are greedy.
