The leaf is the most nutritious part of the lucerne plant. Hartog Lucerne Pellets are pressed mainly from that leaf material, so they deliver good-quality protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals in a small, convenient pellet. Sugar and starch stay very low. They suit horses that need to gain condition or build muscle, and horses with a sensitive stomach.

Use one lucerne product per ration, so not together with Hartog Lucerne Plus or Hartog Lucerne Mix.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.
