APPLICATION
- Base Diet: Start with a foundation of high-quality forage, such as grass hay or mixed grass hay, offered at a minimum of 1.5% to 2% of your horse's body weight daily. This provides essential fiber and mimics the natural grazing behavior.
- Supplementation with Pellets: Supplement the forage with our premium blend of hay and alfalfa pellets. Feed 0.5% to 1% of your horse's body weight daily, divided into multiple meals throughout the day for better digestion and utilization of nutrients.
- Adjust for Activity Level: Adjust the pellet portion according to your horse's activity level, body condition, and individual nutritional needs. Horses in moderate to heavy work may require a higher proportion of pellets for additional energy and protein support.
- Provide Fresh Water: Ensure access to clean, fresh water at all times to support proper digestion, hydration, and overall health.
- Consult with a Nutritionist or Veterinarian: For personalized feeding recommendations tailored to your horse's specific needs, consult with a qualified equine nutritionist or veterinarian.
Store the product in a cool, dry and dark place protected from sunlight to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Follow any recommended storage guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
Benefits of hay and alfalfa blend
Universal feed suitable as basic feed, concentrated feed replacement or as a supplement to the grain ration.
Dust extracted – suitable for animals with respiratory tract problems caused by dust and mildew in the basic feed.
Ideal as a basic feed for an old horses or even when teeth are missing.
Increased Protein Content: Alfalfa is higher in protein compared to most grass hays, providing additional amino acids essential for muscle development, repair, and overall health in horses.
Enhanced Nutrient Profile: The inclusion of alfalfa enriches the pellet with vitamins (e.g., vitamin A, vitamin E) and minerals (e.g., calcium, phosphorus) beyond what grass hay alone provides, supporting various physiological functions and promoting overall well-being.
Improved Palatability: Alfalfa's natural sweetness often enhances palatability, encouraging horses to consume the pellets eagerly, which can be particularly beneficial for picky eaters or horses with reduced appetite.
Balanced Fiber-to-Protein Ratio: Combining hay and alfalfa ensures an optimal balance of fiber and protein in the pellet, promoting healthy digestion, gut function, and muscle development without excessive reliance on concentrates or supplements.
Convenience and Consistency: Pelleting the forages into uniform pellets ensures consistent nutrient content in each serving, facilitating accurate feeding and minimizing waste compared to loose hay or alfalfa. Excellent as a forage during competitions or when traveling longer distances due to its compressed form and package convenience.

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.
