Dengie’s fibre feeds aren’t just for horses! The great protein and calcium levels found in alfalfa make it an ideal choice for dairy animals such as cows, goats and sheep and the range of grass-based products provide even more options. Many of Dengie’s feeds are also widely used for camelids such as alpacas, as well as for herbivorous zoo animals like giraffes and tapirs.

In addition, our Fresh Bed for Chickens which was developed in conjunction with the British Hen Welfare Trust, provides a consistent quality bedding for all poultry.

To learn more about the benefits of feeding alfalfa to ruminants and poultry on a large-scale business, such as dairy and poultry farmers, please visit our sister website www.dengiefarmfeeds.com

Feeding Donkeys

In the UK, the donkey has become much more of a ‘pet’ or companion animal and their affectionate nature makes them a treasured member of any family. This leisurely lifestyle often means that donkeys are fed far more than they require which can lead to problems such as obesity and laminitis.

Feeding Alpacas

Alpacas are popular as pets on small-holdings, as pack animals or even as large commercial herds for cria and fibre production. Learn more about their nutrition requirements and which feeds in the Dengie range are suitable.

Feeding Goats

Goats are kept for a number of purposes including dairy and fibre production as well as much loved pets. Nutritional requirements will therefore vary considerably between individuals according to their vocation, life stage and reproductive status.
