Pellets or cobs - briefly explained
Both forms consist of 100 % sainfoin in identical myPellis premium quality. The only difference is the structure:
Pellets have a diameter of 6 mm and are compactly pressed. Cobs are coarser in structure and have a diameter of approx. 8-9 mm and for a short time as 14 mm cobs. Pellets or cobs - which type is better? Pellets (6 mm) compact, uniform structure easy to dose are soaked before feeding Cobs (approx. 8-14 mm) more structured, coarser form promote longer feeding time and more chewing activity are soaked before feeding
⚠️ Important note on feeding: Esparsette pellets and cobs must always be fed soaked. Before feeding, they must be completely swollen and soft so that there are no hard components left. Dry feeding is not recommended.
Feeding recommendation
The soaking time required depends on the type of structure, amount of water and water temperature. Only feed when the food is evenly soft.
Guide values for daily feeding Horses: approx. 100-500 g per 100 kg body weight Small animals (e.g. rabbits, guinea pigs): as required, combine with roughage if necessary Sheep, goats, alpacas: approx. 200-600 g per animal per day
The actual amount of feed depends on the type of animal, weight, husbandry and individual requirements.

Pellets and cobs are compressed and absorb water when soaked. Complete soaking makes them soft and therefore safer and easier to digest. Dry feeding is not recommended.

The difference lies exclusively in the structure: pellets are compactly pressed (6 mm diameter), cobs have a coarser structure (approx. 8-14 mm diameter). The composition is identical - 100 % sainfoin.
