Basis
- dust-free
- ideal for allergy-sufferers
- encourages chewing
- optimum utilisation
marstall Basis is a rich textural feed packed with valuable alfalfa. It is gently chopped, lightly oiled and molassed.
marstall Basis helps to build condition and is an ideal supplement to forage, especially for sports and breeding horses.
marstall Basis consists of chopped straw and alfalfa fibre chaff. The tasty crude fibre components enhance cereal-based feeds in particular, by stimulating chewing. This increases saliva production, which improves the utilisation of the feed. The valuable, proteinrich alfalfa and the added molasses and vegetable oil make Basis a rich source of crude fibre. Molasses are rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements and secondary plant materials, while
vegetable oil contains valuable omega-3 fatty acids.
This structural feed is the ideal choice for horses in intensive training, for breeding stock, poor doers or horses with dental problems and allergies to hay dust or fungal spores.
