Alfalfa Pellets

Simply 100% alfalfa and nothing else. Alfalfa Pellets are ideal for providing quality fibre in a concentrated form. High in fibre and suitable for horses, ponies and other animals.

• 100% alfalfa, no added sugar (5%) and naturally low in starch (3%)
• Rich in calcium and other naturally occurring vitamins and minerals
• Alfalfa Pellets are an excellent way of providing quality fibre in a concentrated form
• 100% natural – free from molasses, preservatives, straw and binders
• Alfalfa Pellets can be fed dry in a bucket or soaked into a mash, which is ideal for older animals who struggle to chew
• Perfect to use in a snack ball to help reduce boredom and provide a more natural ‘trickle’ feeding rate

Alfalfa Pellets can be fed dry in snack balls or as healthy treats, but as they are high in fibre they should ideally be fed soaked or with chopped fibre to individuals that bolt their feed.

How to soak Alfalfa Pellets

For those that struggle to chew, Alfalfa Pellets can be fed soaked prior to feeding.

To soak Alfalfa Pellets you can use hot or cold water. Soaking time can vary according to the density of the pellets, but as a guide we would expect a 2 hour cold soak or 15 minute hot soak time. Equally the pellets can be left through the day or night to soak. We would suggest a 1 part product to 3 parts water soaking ratio to produce a mash.

One scoop of Alfalfa Pellets = 1.6Kg

Different ways of feeding Alfalfa Pellets

To dampen the feed:

Add a small quantity ie. ½ or 1 mug of soaked Alfalfa Pellets to feed to dampen. This can be particularly useful when mixing powdered supplements into a feed.

Adding to bucket feed:

Alfalfa Pellets can be fed dry alongside a chopped fibre for added interest and to provide a concentrated source of fibre. Up to 500g per 100kg bodyweight can be fed per day ie. 2.5kg for a 500kg horse.

Using in a treat ball:

Alfalfa Pellets are a great low sugar and starch option which be fed in a treat ball to help reduce boredom and provide a more natural tickle feeding rate.

Alfalfa Pellets can be fed to a wide variety of other animals including cattle, sheep, goats and camelids.
