There are also some special commercial chaffs that have supplements or oils added to them for various reasons like weight gain, hoof health, shiny coats and the like.
Mixing chaff and water for horses is generally not harmful, but it can depend on the individual horse's dietary needs and preferences. Soaking chaff can help reduce dust and make it easier for horses with respiratory issues to eat. However, it's important to ensure that the mixture doesn't become too soggy, as this could lead to spoilage or mold. Always consult with a veterinarian or equine nutritionist for specific dietary recommendations for your horse.
