TopChop Grass is a soft and natural product made from a blend of specially selected, dried British grasses; with a light dressing of cold-pressed linseed oil to minimise ‘fly-away’ and the loss of grass protein. TopChop Grass contains no added molasses or any other sugar coating.

The formula for TopChop Grass was tested and developed at the TopSpec Equine Research Centre and has been approved by the nutritionists as suitable for all horses and ponies other than those prone to laminitis and that need to lose weight (TopSpec nutritionists recommend that either TopChop Lite or TopChop Zero is used for horses and ponies in these circumstances).

It is ideal for horses and ponies needing a soft, very palatable chop, perfect for fussy feeders including fit performance horses and elderly horses.

TopChop Grass can be used as a partial or complete hay replacer, especially for elderly horses struggling to maintain condition as a result of poor dentition reducing their ability to chew hay/haylage.

TopSpec TopChop Zero 12.5kg

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.
