FAQ

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Alfa A Original contains a light molasses coating. For horses on strict sugar restriction, Dengie Alfa-A Molasses Free or Alfa-A Lite are more appropriate options. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

How does it differ from Alfa-A Oil?

Alfa-A Oil has a higher oil content than Alfa A Original, providing additional conditioning calories for horses needing to gain or maintain weight. Alfa A Original is the standard everyday alfalfa chaff for horses in all types of work.

Is it non-heating?

Yes — Alfa A Original provides energy from fibre and protein rather than starch, making it a non-heating feed suitable for horses that become excitable on cereal-based feeds.

Can I use it as a hay replacer?

Alfa A Original can be used as a partial hay replacer or forage chop alongside hay or haylage. For horses that cannot eat long-stem forage, consult your vet or equine nutritionist.
