Quality Proteins
Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. Not all protein is created equal. Purvis Lucerne Chaff + Oil is an excellent source of quality proteins.
Improve Digestion
Purvis Lucerne Chaff + Oil is cut to promote chewing and saliva production. You can feed on its own or mix with your choice of grains, super fibres or concentrates. The long cut fibres can assist in peristalsis and help minimise the risk of impaction related colic.
High Calorie Forage
Lucerne Chaff + Oil is the most calorie dense forage available in animal nutrition. It is also relatively low in Non Structural Carbohydrates.
New research suggests it can be a useful component in managing horses with metabolic disturbances such as laminitis who require diets low in Non Structural Carbohydrates.
