- High Protein Content (14–18%) – Alfalfa is particularly rich in essential amino acids, especially lysine, which is vital for muscle growth and recovery. It is an excellent choice for sport horses and young, developing foals.
- Rich in Natural Fiber (25–30%) – Supports gut motility and healthy digestion, reduces the risk of gastric ulcers, and has an alkalizing effect. Alfalfa provides slow-release energy through fermentable fiber, helping maintain steady energy levels without excess sugar or starch.
- High Calcium Content (1.2–1.7%) – Promotes strong bones and teeth, especially important for foals and pregnant mares. As a natural calcium source, alfalfa can help balance the acidity of cereal-based feeds (like oats), thus reducing the risk of stomach acid-related issues.
- Natural Source of Vitamins and Minerals – Especially rich in vitamins A, D, and E, as well as magnesium and potassium, which support immune function, muscle health, and cellular regeneration.
- Dust-Free and Easily Digestible – A suitable choice for horses with respiratory sensitivities.
- Low in Sugar and Starch – Naturally low in starch (<2%), making it ideal for horses prone to insulin resistance or gastric ulcers.

Feeding Instructions:
Can be fed soaked on its own, mixed with concentrate feed, or soaked in warm water. Recommended daily amount: 500 g – 2 kg depending on the horse’s weight and activity level. Always provide access to fresh water and high-quality forage.
Note:
Excessive protein intake may place additional load on the lymphatic system, potentially causing edema, "stocking up," or other swelling, particularly in the legs. If your horse is sensitive to high protein intake, consider reducing the dosage.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
Best before: See packaging for date.
Compliant with FEI regulations – doping free.
