Key Features

Dengie’s ‘Healthy’ range of fibre feeds are nutritionally balanced fibre products and as such, when fed at the full recommended quantity, no additional supplementation is required. This is a high-fibre, low-calorie blend of cereal straw and alfalfa with a light molasses coating. It’s described as ideal for horses in light work, who maintain their weight with ease or are prone to laminitis. It contains just 7.5MJ/kg DE and can be fed as a total or partial hay replacer to keep stabled good-doers occupied for longer, extending chew time and saliva production, which is beneficial for digestive health. Grazing should initially be eliminated until bodyweight is normal and recurrent laminitis under control Alfa-A Molasses Free is suitable for horses and ponies prone to laminitis that need to gain weight and condition This low-calorie balancer is suitable for horses in need of a calorie-controlled diet and those prone to laminitis. It contains an effective level of biotin, zinc and methionine for hoof strength and growth, as well as natural antioxidants to support overall health, and protected yeast to support a healthy hindgut and nutrient uptake.Feed sufficient low calorie forage – aim for 1.5% of bodyweight on a dry matter basis per day to maintain digestive health and satisfy your horse’s need to chew. Alfa-Beet combines alfalfa and unmolassed sugar beet, and must be fed soaked. Alfa-Beet has a convenient two-hour cold soak or 15 minute hot-soak time. Alfa-Beet may be fed alongside any Dengie feed to provide an additional highly digestible fibre source for condition without the fizz or to aid hydration and enhance palatability. It can be used as a partial or complete hay replacer for horses that struggle to chew long-length forages such as hay or haylage. Alfa-Beet is also free from preservatives and binders.

Ideally, supplementary feed and forage should supply less than 12% NSC dry matter – this is the sum of the water soluble carbohydrate and starch added together Alfa-A Oil combines pure alfalfa with a rape seed oil coating. With 12.5MJ/kg of digestible energy, Alfa-A Oil has an energy or ‘calorie’ level comparable to a conditioning or competition mix/cube but without the sugar and starch. Dengie Alfa-A Oil is very safe to use and can even be used for horses and ponies on box rest.

Dermot has poor dentition; various diastemas and having had three teeth removed means he struggles to chew hay effectively and requires a partial forage replacer ration.

It’s important to be aware that these feeds do not treat laminitis in any way, but are carefully formulated so that they are suitable to feed to a horse that is prone to the condition. If you’re at all unsure, it’s advisable to call a free nutritional helpline for additional advice – these are provided by most feed manufacturers. What is The Laminitis Trust approval mark?
