Equus Lucerne Cubes are classified as roughage supplement and is designed as a partial hay replacer to stretch hay in times of scarcity or to improve the quality of the total roughage portion when general hay quality is low.

Note: Equus Lucerne cubes must never be used to replace long stemmed hay completely ! It is advisable that a minimum of 1% of body mass (0.5% in extreme circumstances) of long stemmed hay be available at all times even if of low quality.Effective long fibres are essential for optimum digestive health and the importance of the long fibre outweighs the importance of the quality.

Up to 1% of the horse’s bodyweight of Lucerne Cubes can be used per day.
