Ingredients
a
- Alfalfa
- A member of the legume family of plants. Alfalfa (also known as lucerne) is very popular in horse feed because it is an excellent source of energy, protein, and minerals that are great for your horse's or pony’s health. It also has a high fibre content and relatively low fructan levels, making it ideal for horses and ponies prone to laminitis, providing it is unmolassed. However, it is not a feed that suits all horses and can cause some to react negatively in their behaviour or develop a skin condition. All the feeds in the Barley & Molasses Free Range and Specialist Ranges are also free from alfalfa, allowing owners to avoid alfalfa in their horses’ feeds.
- Apple Pectin
- A type of water-soluble fibre found in the cell walls of apples. In the presence of a low-pH, pectin forms a gel-like substance and binds to the bile acids in the stomach. This creates a mucous-like barrier in the upper region of the stomach.
