Nuba Pure Lucern Chaff
Description:
Sample weight: 0.7-1kg
The chaff we offer is pure alfalfa without additives. It provides the horses' diet with high-quality protein, easily digestible fiber and easily digestible calcium.
The unique process of preparing our chaff includes several stages, to ultimately offer you a two-component product consisting of:
- typical alfalfa chaff, i.e. chopped stalks of this valuable plant. These fibrous parts are highly valued because their composition contains a greater share of digestible fiber than typical hay, providing slowly released energy. Thanks to this, alfalfa is a more concentrated meal in terms of energy. Fiber also stimulates the digestive system and is a desirable food ingredient that promotes the multiplication of "good" bacteria in the intestines. This results in improved digestion and increased immunity in horses.
- granulate, i.e. pressed parts of alfalfa, which usually crumble, but are the most valuable. Leaves, buds and small parts of the stems with low fibrosis in typical alfalfa hay are subject to crumbling or blowing away, they can also cause dusting and irritate the respiratory system of horses. And it is in them that the most nutritional value is found.
Our alfalfa is first thoroughly sieved from the above-mentioned fractions during the preparation process, the longer and stiffer parts are cut, and the small fractions are granulated.
The chaff is recommended for:
- horses with stomach ulcers - chaff given before work helps prevent gastric acid from splashing into the glandless part of the stomach,
- older horses - highly digestible, with a beneficial composition
- nervous horses that have problems maintaining body weight; it helps build mass without causing hyperactivity while supporting optimal blood sugar levels
- breeding horses; foaling mares, nursing mares, young, growing horses
- horses in convalescence
- when the hay given to horses is of poor quality (woody, without green colour, without smell).
