Simple System Sainfoin Brix – 20kg Pure Sainfoin Forage Blocks

Simple System Sainfoin Brix – 20kg

Sainfoin is the third plant in Simple System's range, alongside grass and lucerne — an ancient forage legume sometimes called 'healthy hay', and a firm favourite with bees. Compressed into 1kg blocks and fed whole and dry, Sainfoin Brix give a horse something to work at while adding a forage type most diets never include.

What sets sainfoin apart is its condensed tannins. These naturally occurring compounds aid the digestion of protein, so feeding sainfoin alongside hay or grass helps a horse extract more from the rest of its ration.
