An Innovative Research Program for Horse Digestive Health In the special Horse issue of December 2024, Luzerne de France, in partnership with D\u00e9sialis and Lab To Field, unveiled a groundbreaking research program: In-PULSA. This program focuses on the impact of alfalfa on horse digestive health, particularly in the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers, a common condition in these animals. The Benefits of Alfalfa for Horses The article highlights the key role of alfalfa in equine nutrition. Rich in proteins, fibers, and minerals, alfalfa proves beneficial not only for ruminants but also for horses. Initial studies conducted by Lab To Field have shown that alfalfa helps regulate gastric pH and reduce pathogens in the stomach, thus contributing to better digestive health in horses. D\u00e9sialis's Commitment to Research A special section is dedicated to D\u00e9sialis, the commercial subsidiary of dehydration cooperatives, which actively supports this initiative by providing high-quality dehydrated alfalfa products tailored to the specific nutritional needs of horses. This research program, supported by France AgriMer, is expected to deliver concrete results by the summer of 2025. The Alfalfa Strategy 2026 This project is part of the Alfalfa Strategy 2026, which aims to improve the quality of alfalfa products while reducing the environmental impact of their production and ensuring the socio-economic viability of the sector. The research conducted under In-PULSA is a central element of this ambition."}
