FAQ

Is alfalfa suitable for laminitic horses?

Alfalfa is naturally low in non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) but higher in calories than oat straw chops. For laminitis-prone horses on strict calorie restriction, TopChop Lite or TopChop Zero may be more appropriate. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.

Is it non-heating?

Yes — TopChop Alfalfa provides energy from fibre and protein rather than starch or sugar, making it a non-heating feed suitable for excitable horses.

Can I use it as a hay replacer?

TopChop Alfalfa 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 about appropriate forage alternatives.

How does it differ from TopChop Lite?

TopChop Alfalfa is a pure alfalfa chop providing quality protein and calcium — ideal for horses needing to improve condition and topline. TopChop Lite is a lower-calorie alfalfa and oat straw blend for good doers and laminitis-prone horses.
