Verpakking van de Hartog Lucerne Pellets

The alfalfa plant consists of stems with leaf material. The stems of alfalfa provide structure and a high fiber content. The leaf material is rich in nutrients such as naturally occurring proteins, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. The leaf material is also referred to as the “gold” of the alfalfa plant.

Hartog Alfalfa pellets are pressed from the leaf material of alfalfa. During the pressing process, a small percentage of molasses is used, but because alfalfa naturally has such a low sugar and starch content, the levels in Hartog Alfalfa Pellets remain very low. Even lower than average hay!

The naturally low sugar and starch content, combined with the high calcium content, make Hartog Alfalfa Pellets very suitable for horses with a sensitive stomach.

Hartog Alfalfa Pellets are rich in high-quality proteins and provide an excellent source of nutrition for your horse when it needs to gain weight or if you want to support muscle development. Thanks to the convenience of the pellets, your horse can enjoy all the benefits of alfalfa in a tasty and convenient form.

Product FAQ's

When do I choose Lucerne Pellets instead of Lucerne Mix?
Lucerne Pellets are easier to feed and combine with another roughage mix like Hartog Comfort. Additionally, the protein content in these pellets is higher, which can be advantageous if you are adding alfalfa to the diet to increase protein intake. If you are looking for a product with more structure, then you may want to opt for Lucerne Mix instead.
Do you need to soak the Lucerne Pellets before feeding them?
No, you can simply feed these Lucerne Pellets dry to your horse.
Why should I feed alfalfa?
Firstly, alfalfa is rich in essential proteins, making it a valuable addition to the diet for horses with increased protein requirements, such as sport horses. Even if the protein content in your roughage is on the lower side, you can supplement it with alfalfa. This way, your horse still receives the necessary proteins from roughage, reducing the need for additional concentrate feed. Secondly, the high calcium content in alfalfa can help buffer stomach acid, which is beneficial for horses with sensitive stomachs.
Which roughage mix is best to combine with the Lucerne Pellets?
Hartog Comfort is the perfect complement to Hartog Lucerne Pellets. Not only does it result in slower intake and more chewing, but it also provides all the necessary daily vitamins and minerals. This creates a very complete meal for your horse or pony, eliminating the need for a balancer or concentrate feed.
