How To Get The Most Out Of Feeding With Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs

Dengie Meadow Grass with Herbs is a straight feed and although it contains natural nutrients it does not provide a balanced diet. We would recommend using a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement such as Dengie Leisure or Performance Vits & Mins or alternatively a feed balancer such as Dengie Alfa-A or Hi-Fi Balancer to supply everything your horse or pony needs.

How Hard Are You Working Your Horse?
