Alfa Essentials® is a low sugar/starch (NSC), no added iron ration balancer designed to be fed to easy-keeping horses or used as a top-dress with any other Tribute® feed to provide additional vitamins, trace minerals and amino acids to support performance or enhance topline. This ration balancer is ideal for horses consuming hay or pasture that is 50% or more alfalfa (or other legumes). If feeding hay or pasture that is 50% or more grass, check out Essential K®. Alfa Essentials® is formulated with pre- and probiotics to support your horse’s digestive health.

  • Supplies more phosphorus than calcium to balance the high calcium levels of alfalfa hay.
  • Low sugar/starch (NSC) for horses with metabolic disorders and sensitivities.
  • A low feeding rate keeps calorie intake low for overweight and easy-keeping horses.
