How To Get The Most Out Of Feeding With Dengie Hi-Fi Senior
Hi-Fi Senior is ideal as a partial or complete forage replacer for horses that find chewing hay difficult. With an energy level comparable to very good quality hay, Hi-Fi Senior can improve the feed value of the ration, helping elderly animals to gain weight. Feed Hi-Fi Senior in large tub trugs when using as a forage replacer.
FAQs
Is Dengie Hi-Fi Senior a soft chaff?
Hi-Fi Senior is a short-chopped fibre feed and as such can be the next step when your horse can no longer manage to chew their usual long-stemmed forage. However, being a natural product there can be some texture variation in Hi-Fi Senior and for horses with very poor dentition they may struggle to chew even a short-chopped fibre feed. If this is the case then soaked forage replacers including Dengie Pure Grass Pellets and Alfa-Beet may be more suitable options.
How long will a bag of Dengie Hi-Fi Senior last if I’m using it as a total forage replacer?
This really depends on your horse’s bodyweight and how much they need to completely replace their forage ration. As an example, a 500kg horse would need a minimum of 8.5kg per day to meet their fibre requirements. Hi-Fi Senior comes in a 20kg bale, so each bale would last just over two days. More information on forage replacers can be found here but please contact our Nutrition Team for individual advice.

I have two elderly horses both of which love the Hi-Fi Senior (my younger horse also loves it). My 28yr old ex race horse finds it easy to chew and digest. Before using the Hi-Fi Senior he used to have loose droppings, he no longer has any issues and is in great health. Happy horses Happy owner
Linda Purr –
My senior pony with poor dentition has a full scoop with his alfabeet/grassnuts to slow him down a bit. He loves the alfabeet/grassnuts so much that he ‘scoffs’ (can’t think of a more apt word) but the Hi fi senior slows him up and he is quidding less with it added into the soaked mix.
