Hi, adivce needed please, headin into winter so need to boost the conditioning value of feed but currently my 2 are shall we say convelesing for different reasons but want to keep the condition on as they get very poor but very sensitive to feed in terms of fizzing over, they have been on dengie Alfa Beet and they are doing well on it but having palatability problems, it does look grim i must admit,

so i was just wondering if any1 has had experience of alfa pellets or alfa chaff is was thinking the new unmolased one would be good?? just wondering if people have had sucess with either i.e. good pallatability, good condition but non fizz???

any help welcome (many apologies for spelling)
 
I have used the Alfalfa pellets, soaked they are like Fast Fibre or Calm and Condition. I use FF as mine are natives and don't need condition, ponies love it!

I have just bought the new Dengie Hi Fi unmolassed chaff and so far so good,

If you need weight to be kept on during winter what about feeding the Alpha Oil it has no molasses so shouldn't fizz them up
 
I have used alfalfa pellets in the past but now use grass nuts instead. Im using them to put some weight on and keep it there. I changed because I discovered that alfalfa gives mine a bit of a dodgy belly. he wasnt overly keen on the pellets either but absolutely loves the grass pellets. not that expensive either..mine are £7.50 /20 kg . he has them with sugar beet, balancer and oil. he is quite a fussy git but hes not left any yet.
 
Both of mine absolutely love soaked alfalfa pellets. The poorer doer also has a scoop soaked sugar beet, a scoop of alfalfa oil and veteran nuggets. I don't think he's ever looked so well.
