What can alfalfa pellet do?

Alfalfa pellets are exactly what the name implies...pellets made out of alfalfa.

 

Pellets do not have particle sizes that are big enough to stimulate digestive tract motility, therefore they do not assist in the promotion of tract health.

Because they don't have the long-stem fiber, pellets cannot replace hay.

 

What are pellets used for?
 

1. They can be used to add calories to a horse's diet.

 

They are a great source of calories for horses, because they are forage-based.

Forage based calories will not cause many of the problems that high sugar and starch feeds, such as grains, do. They provide the calories without the "hot" factor.

The majority of the horses out there will not get "hot" on alfalfa. However, there are a few horses out there that are allergic to alfalfa -- these horses will usually get "hot" on alfalfa.

 

2. They can also be used to add protein to a diet.

 

Alfalfa is higher in protein than grass hays, so pellets can be used to boost the protein level of a diet.
