The shape of a feed directly influences eating behaviour, chewing activity and therefore digestion.

COSTALFA alfalfa cubes (approx. 3 x 3 cm) are designed to promote gradual intake and active chewing.

Prolonged chewing stimulates saliva production. Saliva plays a key role in buffering stomach acidity and supporting digestive balance.

Unlike fine or dusty feed, structured cubes require the horse to chew thoroughly, encouraging a more natural feeding rhythm.

Benefits of the cube format:

• Reduced dust

• Less feed waste

• Better portion control

• Can be rehydrated if needed

Controlled dehydration preserves long fibres, essential for healthy gut function and microbial balance.

The cube shape is not only practical — it actively contributes to digestive stability and performance nutrition.
