Description
Alfa-Beet is a conditioning feed that is high in digestible fibre and low in sugar and starch.
Containing approximately 10.5MJ/kg DE* it provides as much energy as a working mix or cube, but without the fizziness often associated with cereal based products.
Alfa-Beet is very palatable so is ideal for fussy feeders. The horse at grass would normally consume much higher levels of water than the stabled horse due to the high moisture content of grass. As Alfa-Beet is fed soaked, it is a useful way of increasing water intake, which can be of particular benefit in the winter when horses are stabled more, and are less inclined to drink.
Fibre Concentrate
The combination of alfalfa and unmolassed sugar beet pulp provides 'slow releasing' energy in the form of highly digestible fibre. Alfa-Beet is therefore ideal for weight gain without over-exuberance.
Veterans
Alfa-Beet is ideal for older horses and ponies, where the provision of good quality protein is important and where maintaining condition is often a struggle. Dental problems? - no problem! Alfa-Beet is soaked to produce an easily digestible mash.
Low Sugar
Alfalfa is naturally low in sugar (water soluble carbohydrates) and Alfa-Beet contains only a quarter of the water-soluble carbohydrates found in conventional molassed sugar beet. Fed with Dengie Hi-Fi Lite, Alfa-Beet is ideal for those horses and ponies, which require a lower sugar diet. Alfa-Beet is a suitable feed for the healthy maintenance of horses and ponies prone to laminitis and is approved by the Laminitis Trust.
Short Soak Time - Hot Soak in 15 mins!
Alfa-Beet is easy to use as it soaks to a mash much more quickly than conventional sugar beet pellets. For soaking, we recommend three parts water to one part Alfa-Beet.
One large Stubbs scoop of dry Alfa Beet pellets = 1.6Kg
One large Stubbs scoop of soaked Alfa-Beet holds 0.5kg of dry matter if soaked at a 3 parts water to 1 par Alfa-Beet ratio.
