Agrobs Pre Alpin® Compact 15kg

Both feral horses in the wild and pasture-reared horses spend 14–16 hours a day consuming food rich in crude fibre. In high temperatures, during severe insect infestations or in cold, wet weather, horses shorten their feeding times. However, horses rarely go more than three hours without eating of their own accord. In general, it can even be assumed that horses take a few mouthfuls of food every hour. Over the course of evolution, the digestive system has adapted in structure and function to this feeding behaviour, characterised by long feeding periods and a constant intake of forage. Deviations from this feeding behaviour often result in digestive problems and behavioural disorders.

Particularly with today’s widespread practice of stabling, this feeding behaviour is rarely taken into account, mostly due to time constraints. Horses are unable to satisfy their need to chew, and boredom is inevitable. It is therefore particularly important to provide stimulation for stabled horses living in a low-stimulus environment.

PRE ALPIN® COMPACT is a handy block pressed from warm-air-dried meadow herbs and grasses. It is an ideal and, above all, healthy snack to keep them occupied between meals. Like all PRE ALPIN® products, it is free from mould and dust. The gentle warm-air drying process ensures that vital nutrients are largely preserved. Thanks to its coarse texture, it also makes an ideal roughage.

These handy and practical blocks are also particularly well suited for travelling, competitions, trail rides and endurance rides.
