Product information "Agrobs Pre Alpin® Senior 12,5kg"
According to the literature, a horse is considered ‘old’ from the age of approximately 18–20 years. However, there is no standard definition for this.
Signs that a horse is ageing include greying of the hair on the head, changes in metabolism, a reduced ability to recover, and the complete wear down or loss of teeth. It is now essential to address the needs of the ageing horse, which generally has a reduced ability to utilise its feed. The aim of feeding older horses should be to ensure an adequate intake of energy and nutrients in order to maintain good body condition.
In most cases, the biggest problem here is the complete wear down of the teeth or the loss of individual teeth. It becomes increasingly difficult for horses to chew roughage and produce sufficient saliva. Signs of this include the formation of ‘hay balls’. Due to an insufficient intake of crude fibre, horses lose body weight, their gut flora is disrupted, and diarrhoea or colic are often the result. Roughage is and remains the basis of a horse’s diet, even in old age. Where there are problems with roughage intake, sensible alternatives must therefore be found. Counteracting this by increasing the amount of concentrated feed usually brings only short-term success; in the long term, the horse’s nutritional status deteriorates.
PRE ALPIN® SENIOR consists of dried green fibres, specially formulated for older horses or for horses that are unable to chew roughage sufficiently. The fibre length of approx. 3–20 mm corresponds to ground roughage in a horse with a healthy set of teeth. PRE ALPIN® SENIOR therefore fully meets the horse’s crude fibre requirements. It is also free from dust and mould.
The addition of cold-pressed linseed oil offers further benefits. As well as providing energy, it supplies the horse with essential fatty acids.
