FAQs
How should I introduce Baileys Alfalfa Blend to my horse?
Introduce it gradually, starting with a small amount and increasing the quantity over several days or a week to allow the horse's digestive system to adapt.
Can I feed Baileys Alfalfa Blend to a horse with laminitis?
Consult with your veterinarian or a qualified nutritionist before feeding this blend to a horse with laminitis, as it contains molasses and therefore some sugar.
How much should I feed?
The amount to feed will depend on your horse's size, workload, and individual needs. Always consult with an equine nutritionist for personalized feeding recommendations.
How long does the product last once opened?
If stored correctly (cool, dry place, sealed bag), it should last until the best-before date printed on the bag. However, it is best to use it within a reasonable timeframe after opening to maintain quality.
Is it suitable for all types of horses?
It is suitable for many horses. However, it is always a good idea to assess the horse's specific needs and consult a nutritionist.
Can I feed it to foals?
This product can be fed to foals, but it's crucial to consult your veterinarian or an equine nutritionist for appropriate quantities and to ensure it complements their specific nutritional requirements.
Where is the Alfalfa sourced from?
The alfalfa is sourced from the UK.
Troubleshooting
Horse is not eating the feed.
Try mixing the blend with a small amount of the horse's usual feed, or moisten it slightly. Check for any underlying dental issues.
Digestive upset after feeding.
Reduce the amount of Baileys Alfalfa Blend and gradually reintroduce it. Ensure fresh water is always available. Contact a vet if the problem persists.
