Esparcette (sainfoin)

Esparcette (sainfoin) is a high-quality forage with many benefits for horses.

Why Esparcette?

Esparcette is a leguminous forage rich in natural tannins, polyphenols, and essential nutrients. Its key benefits include:

Natural support against parasites: It is proved that Tannins help reduce fecal egg counts of small strongyles* and create an unfavorable environment for intestinal parasites.It may help to reduce dependence on frequent chemical treatments. (Note: Not a substitute for dewormers.)
Ideal for metabolic horses: Low in sugar, suitable for horses with insulin resistance, Cushing’s, or laminitis.
Supports digestive health: Gentle on sensitive stomachs, may help with ulcers, diarrhea, and excess gas,bloating and colic.
Anti-inflammatory & vascular support: High in rutin to promote blood vessel elasticity.
High-quality protein: Rich in essential amino acids, promoting muscle building and a healthy immune system.
Balanced mineral profile: High in calcium, like alfalfa, but less likely to cause imbalances.
Can be used permanently or for short periods of time.

Sometimes aspen bark (Populus tremuloides) is also used as a natural support for deworming in horses. But it is not proven as a reliable or effective equine dewormer in any strong clinical research. It may irritate the digestive tract if overused, can interfere with blood clotting, risky in large doses, especially for horses with ulcers or sensitive stomachs. Esparcette is generally considered better and much safer than aspen bark as a natural support for deworming.

Summary.

Esparcette pellets are ideal for:

Horses with ulcers or gut sensitivities.
Horses with parasite challenges.
Metabolic horses needing low-sugar forage.
Performance horses needing high-quality protein without fizz.
Suitable for all horses and all horse breeds and add value to the daily ration.

* Heavy burden of small strongyles (cyathostomins) result in lethargy, anemia, weight loss, diarrhea, malabsorption of nutrients, and colic.
