Alfa – A Oil - Dengie - 20 Kg

The ultimate pure alfalfa fibre feed for fuelling hard work, improving stamina and promoting condition in horses and ponies. 

The addition of rape seed oil makes this feed excellent for providing slow-release energy without the fizz. As Alfa-A Oil is free from molasses and cereal grains it is ideal for over-excitable individuals or those prone to muscle problems.

Key Features

• Alfa-A Oil provides 12.5MJ/kg of slow-release energy, which is comparable to a conditioning or competition mix, but provides 10 times less starch, making it ideal for horses with ERS which research indicates benefit from a low sugar and starch diet.

• Alfalfa is a natural buffer to gut acidity. Independent research carried out at Texas A&M University, USA showed that alfalfa was a natural buffer to acidity in the digestive system. Feeding alfalfa was more effective at reducing the incidence of gastric ulcers than turnout on pasture 24/7. Click here to read more about the study

How To Get The Most Out Of Feeding With Dengie Alfa-A Oil 

Alfa-A Oil can be fed on its own or it can be combined with cubes or a mix for those horses with a higher energy requirement. If you are feeding Alfa-A Oil as the sole feed, use a broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement, such as one of the Dengie Natural Vitality Vits & Mins or alternatively a feed balancer such as Dengie Alfa-A or Hi-Fi Balancer.

Respiratory Care

The alfalfa in Alfa-A Oil is dried at a very high temperature to reduce the risk of mould. Efficient extraction processes ensure Alfa-A Oil has a low dust content to promote a healthy respiratory system.
