Product Description
Hi-Fi GOOD DO-ER is the complete maintenance feed for horses and ponies prone to weight gain. Providing approximately 7MJ/kg of slow release energy, it is similar to late cut hay and is ideal for helping to control the calorie intake of horses and ponies who need to watch their waistlines.
Hi-Fi GOOD DO-ER is a blend of alfalfa and quality soft straw, which is mint flavoured and boosted with vitamins and minerals when fed at the recommended levels it provides a balanced diet for your horse or pony. Alfalfa is an excellent natural source of antioxidants.
How To Get The Most Out Of Feeding With Dengie Hi-Fi Good Do-er
Hi-Fi Good Do-er can be fed on its own, as the bucket feed for horses and ponies undertaking a weight loss programme or to replace part of the hay ration. Hi-Fi Good Do-er is ideal as part of a weight loss programme - it is low in 'calories' but delivers sufficient fibre to maintain gut function.
Respiratory Care
The alfalfa in Hi-Fi Good Do-er is dried at a very high temperature which effectively sterilises the product, killing moulds. Efficient extraction processes ensure Hi-Fi Good Do-er has a low dust content making it ideal for horses and ponies prone to respiratory allergies.

The suggested feeding levels are intended as a guide only. Always adjust your horse’s feed ration to suit his temperament, the environmental conditions, his body condition and work load. For older horses and ponies in medium to hard work, why not try one of the products from the Dengie Alfa-A range?
How Hard Are You Working Your Horse?
The amount and kind of work your horse or pony is doing is an important factor when calculating the quantity and type of feed to give. Almost all the energy requirements of most horses and ponies in light to medium work can be met by feeding a wholly fibre based diet such as Hi-Fi Good Do-er. If your horse is in medium to hard work, try to feed a fibre feed as the basis of the diet and use cereal based products to supplement energy requirements. Fibre is vital for the healthy function of the horse's gut. Try not to overfeed cereal based products at the expense of fibre.

| Convalescence/Resting | Horses on box rest, or turned away. |

NOTE: All horses are individuals, so always adjust your horse’s feed ration to suit his temperament, the environment he lives in and his condition, as well as his work load.
