AGROBS® GRÜNHAFERCOBS from Bavarian cultivation use the gentle power of oats: reduced-starch, rich in crude fibre and highly palatable, they provide a well-tolerated replacement for concentrate feed. The moderate energy, protein and sugar content of the green oat plant provides a balanced source of nutrition for horses with a sensitive metabolism or sensitive stomach.
This is exactly what Bavarian-grown AGROBS® GRÜNHAFERCOBS deliver. To make Grünhafercobs, the entire oat plant is harvested after flowering but before full grain development. At this early stage, the plants are naturally rich in valuable crude fibre but low in starch. They release energy steadily without blood sugar spikes, effects on temperament or strain on the stomach. They are dried using a gentle, warm air-drying process that preserves essential nutrients and keeps the cobs mould- and dust-free. The result is a pure natural product that meets our high standards for quality and tolerability.
AGROBS® GRÜNHAFERCOBS provide the gentle power of oats for leisure horses, sports partners or senior horses. They are a versatile, enjoyable and natural feed that benefits the well-being of sensitive horses.
Why green oats instead of oats?

Sensitive horses require an alternative that provides energy in a way their body can cope with.This is exactly what Bavarian-grown AGROBS® GRÜNHAFERCOBS deliver.
