GONE OFF ALFA-A ORIGINAL !!

[somerset-lass]

Hi, my boy seems to of gone off alfa-a original for some reason. he manages to eat all the nuts , but leaves some chaff even when i wet it. any ideas on what i could use as an alternative, bearing in mind that i have to be careful as he hots up on a lot of feeds !! thanks in advance for you help

Try one of the grass based chaffs instead, similar feed value but not quite so 'sour' as alfa

Glad its not just my horse that does that!

My horse went off it too, I think it has a very sharp texture on their mouths. I used to mix a handful of crushed oats into it, which are not so easily separated as nuts, I think the oats taste nice, so she would eat more Alfa-A. The amount of oats were negligible so didn't make her silly.

I've been using the top chop alfa which has no sugar but has mint to make it tasty so might like that.
Works out a bit more expensive though.

I think it has a bit of a bitter taste - my boy tends to prefer it with a sprinkle of garlic and mint added! if not then you could try Hi-fi original or happy hoof?

sloppy sugar beet added to feed?? mix in well mine will eat anything then

 

[vicksey]

or alfa beet or speedi beet are ment to be very palatable

Me too!

Last month mine went from liking Alfa A Oil to refusing to touch it but now liking Alfa A with added veggie oil... go figure

Mine won't eat alfa- a or alfa-oil because of the texture, she will eat hi-fi senior as it is fairly soft. I just feed soaked grass nuts instead usually though.

mine all went off it this time last year i moved to molli chaff extra and they love it x

Mine have gone right off the Alfa A and the Alfa Oil too - just throwing it round their stables. Very annoying when its got F4F in it and Premierflex too!!

Graze On has done the trick and they are munching everything (Yet they hate Readigrass)
