APPLICATION
- 1kg of product = 0.8kg of grain. Continuing good hay feeding traditions, it can be used as a basic single feed, as a conventional hay substitute, a concentrated feed replacement or as a supplement to the grain ration. The exact dosage depends on the horse's weight and activity but on average it is 300-500g per 100kg of body weight. It is recommended to soak the pellets in water before use in a ratio of 1 kg to 1.5-2 litres of water making it ideal for your horse and especially for older animals who struggle to chew.
Store Timothy pellets in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from sunlight, to maintain their freshness and prevent spoilage. Follow any specific storage guidelines provided by the manufacturer to preserve quality.

Separate component benefits
HAY
- Hay serves as a foundational component of the equine diet, offering a balanced blend of nutrients essential for supporting overall health, performance, and well-being in horses.
- Hay contains essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins (e.g., vitamin A, vitamin E), and minerals (e.g., calcium, phosphorus), which are vital for various physiological functions, including muscle development, immune system function, and bone health.
- Rich in dietary fiber, primarily in the form of cellulose and hemicellulose, which are crucial for maintaining digestive health and proper bowel function in horses.
- The carbohydrates in hay, mainly in the form of structural polysaccharides, serve as a valuable energy source for horses, supporting their metabolic needs and physical activities.
- The roughage provided by hay promotes healthy microbial fermentation in the horse's hindgut, aiding in the digestion and utilization of nutrients while reducing the risk of digestive disorders like colic and gastric ulcers.
- Hay can be effectively utilized in feeding programs to help manage a horse's weight, providing bulk and satiety without excessive calorie intake, which is beneficial for maintaining a healthy body condition score.
ALFALFA
- Alfalfa serves as a valuable component of the equine diet, providing essential nutrients, supporting digestive health, and contributing to overall well-being and performance in horses.
- It is rich in protein, providing essential amino acids necessary for muscle development, repair, and overall growth.
- Contains high levels of vitamins (e.g., vitamin A, vitamin E) and minerals (e.g., calcium, phosphorus), supporting various physiological functions such as immune function and bone health.
- High fiber content, particularly soluble fiber, promotes healthy digestion and gut function in horses, reducing the risk of digestive disorders such as colic.
- Alfalfa is a good source of carbohydrates, supplying horses with readily available energy for metabolic processes and physical activities.
- Many horses find alfalfa palatable due to its sweet taste and aroma, making it an attractive option for picky eaters or horses with reduced appetite.
Dehydrated corn plant
- Unlike grains like oats, which can provide quick-release energy, dehydrated corn provides a more steady and sustained energy release, making it a great choice for horses in moderate work or performance, offering energy without overstimulation.
- Horses tend to find the natural sweetness of dehydrated corn plant appealing, making it a tasty and nutritious option that encourages healthy eating habits, especially for fussy eaters.
- Dehydrated corn plant contains not only carbohydrates but also essential vitamins and minerals, such as B-vitamins, that contribute to overall health and well-being. It helps in maintaining a healthy metabolism and supports proper muscle function
