HF Alfalfa – High Fiber Alfalfa contains pure selected stems of alfalfa (Medicago sativa), dehydrated and compressed into pellets through a mechanical process that involves no chemical additives or glues.

It is the perfect fiber-based forage for overweight horses and ponies’ maintenance, as well as for senior animals.

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
Instructions for use
It is advised to feed HF Alfalfa as 20%-50% of the total daily forage supply (2.5 kg per day for a horse weighing 500 kg).
