Esparcette is a traditional forage legume valued in horse nutrition for its natural fibre, protein content and palatability. The product is a good choice for distributors, wholesalers, retailers and feed shops looking for a differentiated forage pellet for their horse-feed range.

The pellets are easy to store, transport and dose, and can be used as a forage supplement or partial hay replacement in soaked feeding concepts.

• Dust extracted – suitable for animals with respiratory tract problems caused by dust and mildew in the basic feed.
• Ideal as a basic feed for old horses or even when teeth are missing.
• High in raw fibre – helps to maintain healthy intestinal flora to ensure the optimal horse nutrition.
• Excellent as a forage during competitions or when traveling longer distances due to its compressed form and package convenience.

Application for horses:

• As a supplement: esparcette pellets can be fed in addition to hay to improve protein intake and provide a natural digestive aid. Typical feeding rates are 0,5-2,5 kg per day, depending on your horse's needs.
• As a forage replacement: if hay availability is limited, esparcette pellets can replace part of the forage ration. Feed at 1,5-2% of body weight per day (split into multiple meals). We recommend trying to soak in water before feeding in ration 1kg of the product to 2-3 liters of water and to find the best way of product preparation for your animals.

The product must be stored under sound conditions, protected from heat, moisture and risk of condensation.
