Pure Sainfoin compressed into 1kg blocks, rich in natural minerals and trace elements. Feed whole & dry to mimic grazing.
Suitable For
Not suitable for elderly or dentally challenged horses.
Sainfoin is a premium forage alternative to lucerne and grass. Known as 'healthy hay', Sainfoin has long been recognised for its many benefits.
Our Sainfoin is rich in natural minerals and trace elements. They are a good source of condensed tannins, which aid digestion of protein. Sainfoin is suitable for all horses, and can be very beneficial when fed with hay and grass as a nutritious alternative and to add a variety of flavour.
SainfoinBrix should be fed whole and dry. Feed according to requirements and condition. Use up to 1 block a day per 100kg bodyweight, i.e 5 blocks per day for a 500kg horse.
100% pure Sainfoin
All products are natural and seasonal variations can occur, the packaging of each product will detail the typical analysis which is relevant to the batch/cut within the bag. Below are this product�s specification ranges to give an indication of the seasonal variations that can occur for this product.
We do not add vitamins as the forages themselves have them naturally occurring, often in their precursor form, so the packaging of each forage product details average vitamin & mineral figures produced by the British Association of Green Crop Driers to give an indication of the levels found within Lucerne or Grass. However, Simple System undertakes mineral analysis every two years or when/if the source of the product is changed. Below are the most up to date figures specific to this product.
We are very keen to promote natural feeding of our native Highlands as they are not built to cope with rich higher sugar diets that you see in many other feeds. We also needed a straightforward and economical diet that could be used for our mares, stallions, foals and youngstock that would promote muscle development and bone growth without adding excess fat or fizz. With Simple System we have found exactly that.

Q. What is sainfoin? The name comes from the French 'saint foin' meaning 'healthy hay' and it is a premium alternative to grass or lucerne / alfalfa.
Winter can be a challenging time for our poor doers; grass quality declines offering much less nutritional value than in the warmer seasons and the cold weather makes use of energy stores for generating heat and staying warm.
