Dengie Alfa-Beet

Dengie Alfa-Beet
🌱 High-fibre pelleted feed — low-starch, digestible and gut-friendly forage alternative

Short Overview
Dengie Alfa-Beet is a versatile, high-fibre pelleted beet feed designed to be a low-calorie alternative to traditional forage. Soft and highly digestible, it’s ideal for horses and ponies that need slow-release energy, reduced sugar intake, or a palatable feed they’ll readily accept. Perfect for good-doers, those prone to laminitis, or as a partial forage replacer.

✅ Key Benefits
– Highly digestible fibre supports stable hindgut function and healthy digestion.
– Low sugar & starch — suitable for laminitis-prone or metabolic-sensitive equines.
– Soft-pelleted beet base soaks quickly and is gentle for dentally challenged horses.
– Helps reduce boredom and promote chewing behaviour when soaked.
– Can be fed as a partial or complete hay replacer when forage is limited or poor quality.
– Provides slow-release energy — supports even condition without excitability.
– Excellent for horses on restricted grazing or those on diet plans.

🐴 Feeding & Usage Guide
– Soak before feeding: use warm water at ~2–3 times the weight of Alfa-Beet; let it fully absorb (15–30 mins) for a soft mash.
– Feed gradually when introducing, especially for horses new to pelleted beet.
– Suitable as a partial hay replacer (e.g., alongside balancer or low-calorie feed) or total forage replacer when soaked properly.
– Ideal for laminitis-prone, easy-keepers, overweight horses or those on restricted energy diets.
– Always ensure constant access to fresh, clean water.
– Store in a cool, dry place; keep bag sealed to preserve freshness.
