LATEST RESEARCH

New research suggests Lucerne can be a useful component in managing horses with metabolic disturbances such as laminitis. These horses require diets low in

Non Structural Carbohydrates. KER found that during the acute (emergency) period of a laminitic episode, Alfalfa (Lucerne) could be a suitable forage to feed. This would also suggest it would be a complimentary component in the diet to safeguard against frequent laminitic episodes.
