simple systems vs alfa & speedibeet

[horsegirl]

I contacted simple systems regarding feeding my horse and they recommended their luciebix and purebeet soaked together. How would this be different from feeding alfa a and speedibeet soaked together?

I am not convinced there is a huge difference, and it is much less faff to simply buy the alfalfa and speedibeet locally IMO

 

[horsegirl]

yes that's what I was thinking.

Agree with the watcher, although SS would argue that Alfa A is molassed whereas SS feeds aren't. How you might like to consider Dengie Alfa Beet which is both alfafa and unmolassed beet combined in one and contains no molasses.

Is alfa a oil mollassed too?

 

[TGM]

Alfa A Oil is molasses free

I use SS but have used alpha beet id I run out before SS can get to me. I am not convinced that alpha beet doesnt have any thing else added. I prefer using SS separate beet and lucy nuts as I can use lucy nuts as a treat, sprinkled on the floor or in a horse ball. It also means you can vary the ratio. Ie more lucerne for my horses in work, less for the little ponies.

Alfa A sends my horse off his head. Lucibix doesn't.
I think there is stuff added to Alfa-A. Lucibix is just Lucerne.

I don't know anything about Speedibeet as I have never used it.

I feed alfa beet and find it nonheating yet conditioning.
