What is Esparcette:
Esparcette is a highly digestible plant and feed ingredient for horses. It reduces the risk of gas formation in the intestines and therefore indirectly lowers the risk of colic. It supports muscle development due to its high protein and amino acid content. Contributes to a healthy gut flora and digestive tract. Esparcette contains tannins, making the intestines less attractive to parasites. Esparcette is an ideal concentrate feed source for horses that require a grain-free diet. It is easy to digest and is also well accepted by many picky eaters.
Benefits of Esparcette pellets:
Esparcette pellets are made exclusively from esparcette and are ideal for use as concentrate feed and/or roughage. They contain many essential nutrients that support optimal energy levels and muscle development, without unnecessary sugars and starch. This makes them suitable for horses with laminitis/insulin resistance as well as for sport horses.
- Rich in nutrients: contains organically bound calcium, vitamins, beta-carotene, selenium, and other trace elements
- High in essential amino acids: lysine, threonine, methionine
- Low in sugars and starch, yet energy-rich due to proteins and essential amino acids
- High fiber content supporting stomach and intestinal function; has a prebiotic effect. Chewing stimulates saliva production, which helps neutralize the pH level in the digestive system. This reduces acidity and lowers the risk of colic.
- Contains rutin to support blood vessel elasticity, acts as an antioxidant, reduces blood clotting, and inhibits inflammation
- Contains tannins that slightly modify proteins, improving their digestibility
- NOT a substitute for deworming treatment
- Warm-dried and immediately pressed, eliminating the need for additives; prevents mold formation, ensures a hygienic process, and results in a dust-free product
Ideal supplement to roughage for:
- Supplement to daily (roughage) diet
- Laminitis, insulin resistance, and other metabolic problems
- Horses that need to gain weight thanks to the nutrients; ideal for muscle development as it contains necessary nutrients but little sugars or starch
- Horses that quickly become fat, as it contains many nutrients but little sugars and starch
Esparcette Pellets free from:
- Grains, added sugars, and starch
- Dust
- Molasses and other binders
Recommended feeding of Esparsette Cobs:
- Young horses in growth: 0.25 - 2.5 kg per day
- Lactating mares: 0.5 to 2.5 kg per day
- Thin and older horses: 0.2 - 2.5 kg per day
- Sport and racehorses: 1 to 3 kg per day
- Recreational horses: 0.15 to 0.3 kg per day
Small amounts of Esparcette Pellets (1 handful) can be given dry. For larger quantities, Esparcette Pellets should be soaked with water: add 2.5 L of water per kg of pellets and let it soak for about 45 minutes. Warm water shortens the soaking time and can be used if not too hot. Hot water above 40 degrees damages the proteins in the feed, making it less well-absorbed by the horse.
For quantities larger than 1 kg, it is best to spread the Esparcette Pellets over multiple feeding sessions.

No free shipping for horse feed:
Horse feed is never shipped for free, even when the order exceeds the free shipping limit. This is due to the weight, which requires the bales and bags to be packed in different parcels, and most products need to be shipped individually. If you order 10 bales/bags of 15 kg each, you can expect them to be delivered in 5 to 10 packages.
