Alternabute – Devil’s Claw Liquid Feed Supplement for Horses
The Hoof & Herbal range is a collection of carefully formulated liquid feed supplements designed to support calmness, focus, circulation and joint mobility in 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, widely used in equine nutrition as part of structured joint support programmes.
Suitable for horses in regular work, ageing horses, or those requiring additional mobility support within their daily feeding routine, Alternabute provides a simple, plant-based solution designed for consistent 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.
