Can horses have maple syrup

Answer 1

Yes, they love eating it. It should be fed only as a supplement, like as a means to encourage them to eat a strange feed, or as part of a protein block. It shouldn't be fed straight like hay or grass since it is very rich to cattle and could cause them digestive problems like bloat or acidosis.

Answer 2

No and Yes, horses love to eat molasses, it can be found in most tasty horse feeds, such as chaff, but too much molasses (the kind us humans get out of tins) spooned into their feed etc. can rot their teeth. Hope this helps, xxx

Answer 3

Yes they do. Some commercial feeds are made with it.

Horses LOVE molasses.

Answer 4

Yes, they can enjoy this like you enjoy candy. It is best fed mixed with grain.

Answer 5

They can.... but it will make them sick. Their is a yew poisoning in the maple tree, which will make the horse sick or even die.

Answer 6

It sure is! Horses love molasses, but don't feed it too much. You can add it to water if they won't drink or add it to feeds! :)

Answer 7

Yes, it is often used to sweeten feeds or used to mask the flavour of some medications that are mixed with feed.
