marstall Senior-Aktiv is a cereal-free, highly digestible muesli, which is especially designed for the needs of old horses.It's an ideal feed for body reconditioning and maintenance whilst also supporting slower digestive and immune systems. Senior-Aktiv meets the senior horse's increased vitamin and mineral requirements and stimulates chewing, which is good for both the stomach and the psyche. This low-starch, low-sugar formula is an excellent feed for horses with delicate metabolisms.
Senior-Aktiv is a cereal-free muesli that offers targeted support for muscle maintenance.
Older horses need help maintaining muscle tone and substance, especially during winter and the coat changing season. Senior-Aktiv provides energy along with essential, easily digestible amino acids for 100% utilisation.
Older horses also need support with gut flora and gut activity to help their bodies absorb the valuable substances in their feed. marstall Senior-Aktiv also contains mannan-oligosaccharides and ß-glucans (MOS) in addition to traditional linseed. Studies show that these components of brewer's yeast cell walls form an intact biofilm on the intestinal mucosa, serving as a protective barrier for harmful substances. MOS also bind mycotoxins and pathogenic germs in the intestine so that they can be excreted. Furthermore, MOS are prebiotic, feeding good gut bacteria. Together, these properties support the immune system.
Senior-Aktiv's trace elements are organic and easily digestible. Naturally it's also designed to meet older horses' increased needs for zinc, selenium, and vitamin A. Senior-Aktiv is high-structure with no cereals, molasses or lucerne, making it ideal for horses with metabolic problems

Feeding recommendation
... as single concentrated feed
| Light work | approx. 200 to 250 g per 100 kg BW/day |
| Moderate work | approx. 300 to 450 g per 100 kg BW/day |
| Heavy work | approx. 450 to 550 g per 100 kg BW/day |
Example feed per day for a 600 kg horse as a single concentrated feed in addition to hay

| Moderate work | approx. 1,5 kg to 2,5 kg |
| Heavy work | approx. 2,5 to 3,0 kg |
In case of hasty eaters, horses with feed envy, tooth problems etc. we recommend to feed Senior-Aktiv soaked. Then, for example, add 1 litre of warm or cold water to 1 litre of Senior-Aktiv and let it steep for 15 minutes.
Our marstall feeding experts recommend:marstall Senior-Aktiv can also be fed soaked as a mash if required. This is especially beneficial for horses that eat hastily, horses with dental problems or feed envy. For old horses that are no longer able to chew well, we also recommend our „Wiesen“products, soaked as a roughage substitute.
1 liter marstall Senior-Aktiv = approx. 400 g
Feeding advice
All specified feed quantities are to be given throughout the day in several small feeds.
Our recommendations assume a roughage intake (hay) of 1.5 kg per 100 kg body weight per day.

Tipps für alte Pferde
Bei Zahnproblemen
Senior-Aktiv kann natürlich auch eingeweicht verfüttert werden. Als Raufutterration bieten sich dazu eingeweichte Wiesen-Cobs an.
Darf ein bisschen mehr sein?
Die getreidefreie Ration kann mit Bergwiesen-Mash (ohne Getreide) ergänzt werden – das unterstützt die Verdauung zusätzlich. Benötigt das Pferd mehr Energie, eignet sich z. B. Lein-Distel-Öl.
Unser Tipp mit Getreide
Darf das Pferd auch im Alter Getreide bekommen, können Sie marstall Senior-Aktiv entweder mit Hafer, Gerstenflocken oder Maisflocken ergänzen oder unser Müsli Senior Plus füttern.
