Alternabute – Devil’s Claw Liquid Feed Supplement for Horses
The Hoof & Herbal range is a collection of carefully formulated liquid feed supplements for horses and ponies. Each formula is alcohol-free, easy to mix into feed, and intended for inclusion as part of a balanced feeding programme.
Alternabute is formulated using a traditional preparation of Devil’s Claw root (Harpagophytum procumbens), a herb with a long history of use in equine nutrition.
Suitable for horses in regular work or as part of a structured daily feeding programme, Alternabute provides a simple, plant-based liquid supplement designed for consistent daily use.
Unlike powdered supplements, Alternabute is prepared by slow-heating whole Devil’s Claw root and allowing it to steep, producing a naturally derived liquid extract without the use of alcohol. This traditional process ensures reliable daily intake and makes it suitable for ongoing inclusion in a balanced feeding programme.
