Why Sainfoin Outperforms Alfalfa

Sainfoin is a non-gas-producing forage rich in condensed tannins, offering superior digestive support compared to alfalfa. These natural tannins help reduce gas, colic, and diarrhea by disrupting fermentation processes in the gut. They also boost protein absorption, support muscle maintenance and topline development, and promote hoof strength. Known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, tannins may help protect your horse from harmful bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Sainfoin even naturally repels weevils, reducing the need for synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
