Dengie Ulser Lite is a soft tasty blend of high-quality oat straw and chopped and pelleted grass for maximum fibre content whilst being low in calories (8MJ/kg). This blend of fibres are suitable for good doers, overweight and obese horses.

In comparison Dengie Healthy Tummy is a blend of pure chopped and pelleted alfalfa and has a higher inclusion of rapeseed oil making it higher in calories (11.5MJ/kg) and more suitable for horses that are in higher levels of work or those that struggle to maintain condition and weight.

Both products include alfalfa pellets as well as digestive aids in the form of prebiotics, live yeast and postbiotics to support digestive health. They also include a unique blend of tasty herbs.

Dengie Ulser Lite has been formulated as a straight feed with no added vitamins and minerals to maximize its flexibility. This means that any amount can be fed according to the horse`s requirements alongside a source of vits and mins to provide a balanced diet. Whereas Dengie Healthy Tummy is a nutritionally balanced feed and includes a high specification vitamin and premix. When fed at the recommended feeding rate there is no need to add any mix, cubes or supplements to balance your horse`s ration.

If you would like to check with our nutrition team which product would be the most suitable for your horse or pony, call our Feedline on 01621 841188 or complete our Feed Advice Form (link in bio)
