LUCERNE MIX | HARTOG | UAE | AL ZARRAB

Hartog Lucerne Mix is a high-fibre roughage mix made with lucerne (alfalfa), which is naturally rich in high-quality protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Its naturally low starch content makes it a useful addition to many horses’ rations.

The mix contains both the stalks and leaf material of lucerne. The stalks provide structure and fibre, while the leaf material is naturally rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Furthermore, Hartog Lucerne Mix can be mixed with concentrates or balancers to extend eating time, encourage chewing and stimulate saliva production. The fibre-based energy is released slowly, making it a practical way to add additional fibre and nutrients to the ration.

Hartog lists Lucerne Mix for sport horses, breeding horses, leisure horses, nervous horses, horses requiring optimisation of their fibre ration, horses with a sensitive gastric system, sober breeds and underweight horses.
