Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+. The plus stands for + linseed oil. Pure Lucerne is made from high-quality alfalfa to which 3% linseed oil has been added. No molasses or other products/additives have been added to the product, as is the case with many other alfalfa products.
- Rich in fiber - stimulates saliva production
- For a healthy digestion
- Easily digestible proteins, rich in amino acids for muscle building & maintenance
- With linseed oil - rich in omega-3 fatty acids
Advantages of Vitalbix Alfalfa:
- This alfalfa contains the entire alfalfa plant, including the alfalfa stems and the nutrient-rich alfalfa leaf. This stimulates saliva production and supports a healthy digestive system/digestive tract.
- The alfalfa contains proteins with high-quality amino acids, which are important building blocks and are well absorbed by the digestive system and body.
- Instead of the commonly used molasses syrup, this alfalfa is supplemented with the much healthier linseed oil as an anti-dust agent.
Alfalfa is ideal for:
Option 1: Use Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ for extra fiber in the diet or as an additional fiber supplement to Vitalbix Daily Complete. The fiber-rich structure of alfalfa stimulates chewing in horses/ponies and thus saliva production. It optimizes the absorption of nutrients from Vitalbix Daily Complete or the rest of the diet.
Feeding recommendation for fiber: 50 - 150 g per 100 kg body weight (0.3 - 0.9 kg horse 600 kg)
Option 2: Use Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ for horses with special needs for extra proteins in the diet, for example:
- Sport horses
- Young & older horses
- Pregnant and lactating mares
- Stallions
- Horses receiving roughage with a low protein content
- Horses on a calorie-restricted diet (weight loss diet)
Feeding recommendation for proteins: 150 - 500 g per 100 kg body weight (0.9 - 3 kg horse 600 kg)
The alfalfa is artificially dried:
Vitalbix Pure Lucerne is composed of artificially dried alfalfa (stem & leaf) with cold-pressed linseed oil (3%). Artificially dried alfalfa has a consistent quality and higher nutritional value than sun-dried alfalfa.
The alfalfa is free from:
- Molasses-free
- Grain-free
- Dust-free
- GMO-free

No free shipping for horse feed:
Horse feed is never shipped for free, even if the order is larger than 149 euros. This is due to the weight, which requires the bales and sacks to be packed in different packages and most products to be shipped individually. If you order 10 bales/sacks of 15 kg each, you can expect them to be delivered in 5 to 10 packages. If you place an order over 149 euros, we will contact you by email about the shipping costs.
