Super Fibre Mix
Super Fibre Mix is a versatile and palatable high fibre complete feed that can be used in many different situations, either as the sole complete ration or as a supplementary chaff or additional fibre feed. A range of herbs including mint and oregano help to maintain appetite in shy or fussy feeders.
The ration is based on high quality, dust free, short chopped forage sources and is blended with a low inclusion of micronized cereals to help maintain body condition and to support light work. It contains quality protein sources to help support cell renewal, tissue and muscle repair, thus making it equally suitable for horses in work and those that are recuperating. It is fully fortified with a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, so providing that it is fed at the minimum recommended feeding rate can be fed as the sole concentrate feed source.
Super Fibre Mix now contains a live yeast and a natural source of vitamin E, which play a supporting role in maintaining normal digestive and immune function, particularly during periods of stress e.g. travelling, competing or sickness.

Ponies 200 - 400 kg bodyweight = 1 - 2 kg per day*
Horses 400 - 600 kg bodyweight = 2 - 3.5 kg per day*
Large horses >600 kg = 3.5 - 5 kg per day*
*Always try to feed a minimum of 1.5% of bodyweight as good quality forage. E.g. a 500 kg horse would eat 7.5 kg of hay per day. These eed levels give the minimum and maximum feeding rates for each range of bodyweights, ie a pony of any bodyweight between 200 to 400 kg could be fed between 1 - 2 kg per day, depending on their requirements.
