Emerald Green Feeds Meadow Magic Horse Pellets – 20kg

Emerald Green Meadow Magic Pellets – 20kg

Pellets made from a blend of eight grasses rather than a single species, and free from alfalfa. A proportion of horses do not get on with alfalfa — some react to the protein level, some to the calcium, and some owners simply prefer to avoid it — and there are relatively few pelleted fibre feeds that leave it out entirely.

The numbers place this at the quiet end of the range: 9% protein, 31% fibre, 8% sugar and just 1.5% starch, at an estimated 9.25 MJ/kg. That combination of high fibre and low energy is what a good doer needs, and the low starch and sugar make it a more defensible choice for a laminitis-prone pony than the higher-sugar grass pellets.

Performance & Benefits

• An eight-grass blend, giving more variety than a single-species feed.
• Alfalfa-free, for horses that do not tolerate or are not fed alfalfa.
• 9% protein and an estimated 9.25 MJ/kg — a genuinely low-calorie fibre feed.
• 31% fibre with starch at 1.5% and sugar at 8%.
• Pelleted for compact storage; feed dry or soaked.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies needing an alfalfa-free fibre source.
• Good doers needing bulk without calories.
• Horses prone to laminitis, under veterinary guidance, given the low starch and sugar.
• Native ponies on restricted grazing.
• Not a conditioning feed. A horse needing topline wants the Alfalfa Pellets at 18% protein.

Feeding

• Feed according to bodyweight and workload alongside plenty of forage.
• Feed dry, or soak to make a mash or partial forage replacer.
• Introduce gradually over seven to ten days.
• Always ensure free access to clean, fresh water.
