Digestive Health – brought to you by Dengie
Horses are designed to thrive on fibre – it keeps their digestive system healthy and working as nature intended. High-fibre forages encourage chewing and saliva production, which helps protect the gut by neutralising acidity. In contrast, low-fibre, high-starch diets are linked to problems like gastric ulcers. Research shows that alfalfa is especially effective at buffering acidity, thanks to its naturally high calcium content.
