Simple System MeadowBrix – 20kg MeadowBrix are mature Timothy grass compressed into 1kg blocks, fed whole and dry so the horse works at them head-down, much as it would graze. Of the three Brix, these are the ones Simple System recommend for replacing hay — nutritionally they are the closest match, so swapping hay for MeadowBrix changes the format without changing the diet underneath. Mature-cut Timothy is naturally low in sugar and high in fibre, and starch sits below 1%. That combination makes them unusually safe to feed generously to a horse that needs occupying but not fattening. Performance & Benefits 100% pure mature Timothy grass, compressed into 1kg blocks. Nothing at all added. Fed whole and dry, encouraging natural chewing and saliva production. Nutritionally the closest of the Brix to hay, making them the best choice as a hay replacer. Very low starch at under 1%. Aids digestive health through superior fibre content. Excellent enrichment for stabled horses, box rest and competition trips. Suitable For Horses at all levels of work and rest. Horses with stereotypies, or needing boredom relief. Use as a partial or full hay replacer. Owners wanting easy portion control. Feeding Feed whole and dry. Place at ground level, on the floor or in a feed bucket, in the field or stable. One block weighs approximately 1kg. Use up to 1 block per 100kg bodyweight daily — up to 5 blocks for a 500kg horse. Feed according to requirements and condition. Composition & Analysis Composition: 100% dried Timothy grass. 20kg, supplied as 1kg blocks. Crude protein 7–14%. Crude fibre 25–35%. Sugar under 12%. Starch under 1%.
