Fiber-based forage ideal for overweight horses and ponies’ maintenance, as well as for senior animals.

GENERAL PROPERTIES

HF Alfalfa is ideal for the maintenance diet of horses and other equids, thanks to:
• its high content of cellulose
• its low levels of starch and sugar (below 12)
• its balanced Calcium to Phosphorus ratio
• its low-energy content

NUTRITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

HF Alfalfa is perfect for animals needing limitation of calorific intake (BCS ≥ 3/5) but supplying good quantities of calcium and lysine.
Thanks to its long-lasting buffering action, HF Alfalfa is a valuable aid to horses affected by gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS). Thanks to its low level of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) HF Alfalfa is the first-choice feed for horses and ponies
that are prone to NSC (starch/sugar/fructans) associated disorders, such as laminitis, colic, metabolic syndrome, cushing, chronic diarrhea, gastric ulcers) or for those animals already affected by such conditions. For its relatively low protein content
and a good level of lysine, HF Alfalfa is an ideal feed for senior horses and horses with kidney-related problems.
