New: Vitalbix Pure Timothy 20 kg

Firstly, it’s worth noting that these are all supplementary roughage products. However, Pure Timothy is pressed into pellets, whilst Fiber-Mix+ and Pure Lucerne consist of pure fibre. It therefore also depends on what your horse prefers.

For example, do you have a horse with dental problems? In that case, it’s best to choose Pure Timothy, as you can easily feed it soaked.

Please feel free to ask for advice if you’re not quite sure which to choose.

Thanks to its fine texture, Timothy+ is easily digestible, even for horses with poor dentition. The product can also be easily soaked, making it highly suitable for horses with severe dental problems.

If you mix it with lukewarm water, it should be left to soak for approx. 10–15 minutes. If you mix it with cold water, leave it to soak for approx. 20–25 minutes. Always stir it thoroughly and check that the pellets have completely broken up and a nice, mushy consistency has formed.

Vitalbix Pure Timothy has a pellet diameter of just 6 mm. We have deliberately chosen this smaller size so that the pellets can also be fed dry. If a horse does not chew a pellet properly and swallows it whole, a 6 mm pellet can usually slide down the oesophagus more easily with the help of saliva than a larger pellet.

A 12 mm pellet is more likely to get stuck in the oesophagus and must therefore always be fed soaked. By choosing a 6 mm pellet, we minimise this risk and ensure that Pure Timothy can be fed both dry and soaked.

Feeding dry also has the advantage that you can easily provide a little more energy with a smaller volume. Feeding soaked, on the other hand, can be beneficial when extra moisture is required or when a horse has difficulty chewing dry feed.

Pure Timothy is a valuable roughage supplement that you can safely use to replace part of your horse’s roughage. With Pure Timothy, you can help your horse maintain a healthy weight and healthy digestion.

Is your horse no longer able to eat hay? In that case, you can indeed meet its roughage requirements with our products, including Pure Timothy. If this is the case, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’d be happy to help you with personalised advice.

Yes, you can safely mix Pure Timothy with our other products, such as our balancers or mueslis. You can also combine Pure Timothy with NutriMash, as the product can easily be soaked.

Absolutely! Like all Vitalbix products, Pure Timothy is low in starch and sugar. It is ideal for hardy breeds, sensitive horses or horses with metabolic issues (such as PPID, EMS or IR).

If your horse is doing well and has enough roughage (hay and/or grass) available that he can still chew properly, you only need to supplement his diet with vitamins and minerals using one of our complete products.

For example, does your horse need extra support to maintain its weight because it isn’t getting enough roughage? In that case, Pure Timothy can also be a great supplement in the summer.
