Agrobs Pre Alpen Senior 12.5kg - Free P&P

Agrobs Pre Alpin® Senior is a dust-free, cereal-free hay replacer specially formulated for older horses and those with poor dentition or difficulty chewing. As horses age, changes in metabolism, reduced regeneration capacity and tooth wear make efficient feed utilisation increasingly difficult. Pre Alpin® Senior provides the crude fibre, energy and essential fatty acids needed to maintain good body condition into old age — with the addition of linseed oil to supply omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids for coat condition, skin health and anti-inflammatory support. Dust-free and mould-free, it is also suitable for horses with respiratory sensitivity. It can fully replace hay or be used to supplement an existing forage ration, and can be soaked for horses with significant dental problems. Available in a 12.5kg bag with free P&P.

FAQ

Can Pre Alpin® Senior fully replace hay?

Yes — Pre Alpin® Senior is designed to be used as a 100% hay replacer for horses that can no longer chew conventional hay effectively. It can also be used to supplement or enhance an existing forage ration. As a basic feed substitute, feed 1.2–1.5kg per 100kg of target bodyweight daily.

Is it suitable for horses with respiratory conditions?

Yes — Pre Alpin® Senior is dust-free and mould-free, making it an excellent choice for horses with respiratory conditions such as RAO (Recurrent Airway Obstruction), COPD, or dust allergies. Unlike conventional hay, it will not trigger respiratory flare-ups caused by dust or mould spores.

How do I feed it to horses with dental problems?

Pre Alpin® Senior can be soaked in water to create a soft, easy-to-eat consistency — ideal for horses with significant tooth loss, missing teeth, or difficulty chewing dry feed. The soaking time is short; simply add water and allow to absorb before feeding.

Is it suitable for horses with Cushing’s or EMS?

Pre Alpin® Senior is cereal-free and low in starch, making it more suitable than cereal-based feeds for metabolically sensitive horses. Always consult your vet for individual dietary guidance for horses with diagnosed metabolic conditions, as total sugar and starch intake from all feed sources should be considered.

At what age should I consider switching to Pre Alpin® Senior?

Signs such as weight loss, difficulty maintaining condition, greying around the head, or difficulty chewing are good indicators. Many horses benefit from senior feeds from around 15–18 years, though this varies considerably by individual. Pre Alpin® Senior can also be used for younger horses with dental problems or respiratory sensitivity.
