Ideal for supplementing and upgrading concentrated feed

Ruppiner Luzernecobs are low in starch and sugar but high in protein. The high content of amino acids should also be emphasized, which means that they can particularly support muscle building. They are particularly suitable for balancing the calcium-phosphorus ratio with a grain-rich feed. In principle, alfalfa is excellent for upgrading the roughage or manger fodder for high-bearing mares, foals in development, older horses or horses that are supposed to gain weight.

Horses that only do light work should not be fed large amounts of alfalfa due to its high protein content and should only be used to enhance concentrated or mineral feed. The plant is not suitable for horses suffering from laminitis, EMS or Cushing's disease. Feeding should be adjusted especially during the grazing season to avoid excess protein due to the combination of young grass and alfalfa.


BENEFITS:

  • High amino acid levels can support muscle building
  • Balancing the calcium - phosphorus ratio with grain-rich feeding
  • Upgrading roughage or manger feed for high-bearing mares, developing foals, older horses or horses looking to gain weight
