Nuba Hoof&Shine Chaff
A complete and balanced alternative to concentrated feed

Nuba Hoof&Shine Chaff is a fully balanced feed designed to support healthy hooves, skin, and coat. It’s an ideal choice for horses prone to laminitis thanks to its low sugar and starch content, and is also recommended for horses struggling with weak or cracked hooves, slow hoof growth, dull coats, or skin issues.

Rich in digestible fiber and fats, this chaff provides slow-release energy, making it suitable even for horses with an excitable temperament.

When fed in recommended amounts, it can serve as a complete meal for horses in light or no work, eliminating the need for additional supplementation.

Why gut health matters

Did you know that the condition of a horse’s hooves and skin is closely tied to the health of its large intestine? This is where fiber is fermented by beneficial bacteria, allowing the horse to produce key nutrients like biotin (vitamin H), enzymes, amino acids, and absorb essential compounds. It also plays a major role in maintaining body warmth.

Even minor imbalances in gut flora may not cause obvious symptoms but often show up as poor hoof and coat condition.

Two key goals of Nuba Hoof&Shine Chaff:

1. Support healthy gut flora
   The chaff contains easily digestible fiber, yeast, and probiotics to promote a thriving intestinal environment.

2. Deliver essential nutrients
   These nutrients help compensate when the gut isn’t synthesizing enough on its own.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:

• Biotin – Included in a proven, effective dose. Supports healthy hooves and skin by delivering bioavailable sulfur directly to cells. Also plays a role in fat and protein metabolism.

• Methionine – An essential amino acid and critical building block for hoof horn and hair. Aids protein synthesis, liver function, and keratinization of skin, coat, and hooves.

• MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – A natural source of sulfur that supports joint, immune, digestive, and circulatory health, while promoting strong hair, skin, and hooves.

• Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Selenium – Essential trace elements often lacking in typical equine diets. Their presence helps maintain the overall health of the horse, including hoof and skin integrity.

• Vitamins A, D, E – Crucial for immune function and antioxidant support.

• Seaweed – A rich source of bioavailable nutrients that support skin metabolism, bind toxins, and stimulate fat metabolism.

• Yeast – Acts as a prebiotic to nourish beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing nutrient absorption and promoting synthesis of B vitamins and vitamin K.

• Probiotics – Help maintain a healthy intestinal microbiome, directly impacting the horse’s overall well-being.

Flexible feeding
Nuba Hoof&Shine Chaff can be fed as a standalone alternative to concentrated feed or as a nutritious addition to your horse’s existing diet.

The short-chopped texture encourages longer chewing and slower eating, which promotes better digestion and nutrient absorption.
