Product Details
Dengie Alfa-Beet Horse Feed 20kg
A high-fibre, low sugar and starch, conditioning feed. Ideal for aiding hydration or for older horses and ponies who struggle to chew longer length fibre.
Dengie Alfa-Beet is ideal for older horses and ponies, where the provision of good quality protein is important and where maintaining condition is often a struggle. Dental problems? no problem! Alfa-Beet is soaked to produce an easily digestible mash.
Dengie Alfalfa is naturally low in sugar and Alfa-Beet contains only a quarter of the sugar found in conventional molassed sugar beet. Fed with Dengie Hi-Fi Lite, Dengie Alfa-Beet is ideal for those horses and ponies, which require a lower sugar diet. Alfa-Beet is a suitable feed for the healthy maintenance of horses and ponies prone to laminitis.

Feeding Guide
How to soak Alfa-Beet:
Alfa-Beet is easy to use as it soaks to a mash much more quickly than conventional sugar beet pellets – when soaking in hot water it is ready in 15 mins, alternatively in cold water it takes 2 hours or can be left through the day or night to soak – whichever is more convenient! For soaking, we recommend one part product to three parts water.
One large Stubbs scoop of dry Alfa Beet pellets = 1.6Kg
One large Stubbs scoop of soaked Alfa-Beet holds 0.5kg of dry matter if soaked at a 1 part Alfa-Beet to 3 parts water ratio.
To dampen the feed:
Add a small quantity ie. ½ or 1 mug of soaked Alfa-Beet to feed to dampen. This can be particularly useful when mixing powdered supplements into a feed.
To add digestible fibre for weight gain and condition:
Alfa-Beet is a great way to add highly digestible fibre to the ration to help promote weight gain and condition. For example, a soaked scoop could be added to each feed to provide additional calories in the ration. If soaking 1 part Alfa-Beet to 3 parts water ratio, up to 1 soaked scoop per 100kg bodyweight can be fed per day, ie. Up to 5 soaked scoops can be fed to a 500kg horse per day.
If using as a partial hay replacer:
Alfa-Beet is a great option as a partial hay replacer, particularly for horses with poor dentition as it is soft and easy to chew. It can be fed up to 1kg per 100kg bodyweight per day (dry weight measured before soaking). For example, a 500kg horse could have up to 5kg per day.
If a total hay replacer is needed, Alfa-Beet can be mixed with Hi-Fi Senior which is a soft, short chopped fibre or Pure Grass Pellets if a totally soaked ration is needed. We would suggest splitting the hay replacer ration over as many separate meals as possible throughout the day so that the period of time the horse is left with nothing to eat is as short as possible.
