According to the literature, a horse is considered "old" from an age of approx. 18 - 20 years is considered "old". However, there is no standardised definition for this.

The fact that horses get old is shown by the greying of the hair in the head area, changes in the metabolism, reduced ability to regenerate and complete abrasion or loss of teeth. Now the needs of the ageing horse, which generally utilises its feed feed is generally less well utilised. The aim of feeding old horses horses should be an adequate intake of energy and nutrients in order to maintain maintain good body condition.

The biggest problem problem in most cases is the complete wear and tear of the tooth tooth reserves or the loss of individual teeth. For the horses increasingly difficult for horses to chew basic feed and salivate salivate sufficiently. Signs of this are the formation of "hay rolls". Horses lose body weight due to the insufficient intake of crude fibre, the intestinal flora is disturbed, diarrhoea or colic are often the result. Basic feed is and remains the basis of horse nutrition, even in old age. age. Consequently, if there are problems with the intake of basic feed sensible alternatives must be found. Counteracting this by increasing by increasing the amount of concentrated feed usually only brings short-term success the nutritional status deteriorates.

PRE ALPIN SENIOR are dry green fibres, especially for old horses or for horses who cannot chew forage sufficiently. The fibre length of approx. 3 - 20 mm corresponds to the ground forage in an intact horse's teeth. forage. PRE ALPIN SENIOR thus completely covers the horse's crude fibre requirement. completely. It is also free from dust and mould.

The addition of cold-pressed linseed oil has further advantages. In addition to energy, it provides the horse with essential fatty acids.
