Quality Proteins
Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. Not all protein is created equal. Purvis Lucerne Chaff + Oil is an excellent source of quality proteins.
 
 
Improve Digestion
Purvis Lucerne Chaff + Oil is cut to promote chewing and saliva production. You can feed on its own or mix with your choice of grains, super fibres or concentrates. The long cut fibres can assist in peristalsis and help minimise the risk of impaction related colic.
 
 
High Calorie Forage
Lucerne Chaff + Oil is the most calorie dense forage available in animal nutrition. It is also relatively low in Non Structural Carbohydrates.
New research suggests it can be a useful component in managing horses with metabolic disturbances such as laminitis who require diets low in Non Structural Carbohydrates.
​

Horses are very sensitive to feed changes and any sudden feed change can adversely affect the hind-gut microbes that optimise your horses digestion and/or could affect temperament. 

It is essential that feed changes are introduced to the diet slowly.

Allow 10-14 days of smaller daily portions before feeding at maximum rates.

Purvis Feeds Chaff

Lucerne Chaff + Oil is an excellent source of naturally occuring vitamins and minerals. Feed as part of a balanced diet and if you are unsure about your horses nutrient requirements, seek advice from a veterinarian or nutrition advisor.

Your horse requires a minimum of 1% of their body weight each day in forage - 1.5 - 2.5% is desirable.  The Dry Matter (DM%) of the forage must be considered to ensure you are feeding enough to meet your horses dietary requirements.

Feed Purvis Lucerne Chaff as part of a balanced diet, provide clean drinking water at all times and include quality minerals, including salt.

To maintain the quality of your Purvis Lucerne Chaff + Oil once purchased, do not allow the product to be contaminated by pests, keep dry and out of direct sunlight.
