The 6mm size is the practical difference from Simple System's 12mm Lucie Nuts: a smaller pellet takes up water faster and breaks down more evenly, which matters when the whole point is to feed it soaked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucerne is a deep-rooting legume, and that root depth is part of why it carries the mineral profile it does. The declared analysis runs 14–20% crude protein and 20–30% fibre against sugar under 7% and starch under 5%, with digestible energy at 10–11 MJ\/kg — so it delivers protein and condition on fibre rather than on cereal starch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% certified organic lucerne, free from binders, cereals, molasses, soya and additives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein 14–20%, supporting muscle development and bone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6mm pellets soak faster and more evenly than a larger nut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar under 7% and starch under 5% — non-heating, slow-release energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigestible energy 10–11 MJ\/kg, in the medium band.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoaked, it is easy to eat for a horse that can no longer manage long fibre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses and ponies at all levels of work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding stamina and condition without cereals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses with metabolic issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElderly or dentally challenged horses, fed thoroughly soaked.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the one if you want a chop that takes chewing — Simple System Lucie Chop is the same lucerne in chopped form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak in 2 to 2.5 times their volume of water until free from lumps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart at 100g per 100kg bodyweight daily, dry weight — 500g a day for a 500kg horse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncrease as required, up to a maximum of 5kg a day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA level Stubbs bowl scoop holds approximately 1.6kg dry weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Analysis\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposition: dried organic lucerne, 6mm pellets. 20kg bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein 14–20%.
