Dengie have launched a new fibre feed.

Healthy Tummy is a new complete fibre feed from Dengie, created from home-grown alfalfa and then blended with ingredients to promote optimal digestive health.

Alfalfa has long been recognised as a natural buffer to acidity in the horse's gut and should form the foundation of the feed ration for those that are suffering from ulcers or have had them in the past, or as a preventative for others whose owners are concerned about the possible occurrence of ulcers.

Research shows that about 40% of leisure horses, 60% of competition horses and 90% of racehorses could be affected by equine gastric ulcers.

It is available in 15kg bales, with a launch pack RRP of £8.99, which includes a £2 discount. The regular RRP will be £10.99.
