Choose Mollichaff For Additional High Quality Digestible Fibre!
F
ollowing last year’s hot summer, forage crops were of excel- lent quality from the harvest but the extremely dry weather meant that a lower volume was produced from second cuts due to the lack of grass growth. This also meant we saw horses as well as other livestock having to be fed extra forage to supplement their grazing, which normally wouldn’t be required until later in the year. So due to the increased earlier demand for forage, and if this winter sees our animals being kept inside for longer, the demand for forage will increase, as some supplies which had been put by for winter have been used earlier, so it makes sense to look at your horse or pony’s feed now to see how you can add some extra fibre to their diet alongside their forage.
In the wild, horses will graze for up to 18 hours a day, covering many miles in doing so. They are natural ‘trickle’ feeders and have evolved to utilise a high fibre diet, using bacterial fermentation in a highly developed large intestine. Low levels of fibre, or poor quality fibre in the diet puts horses at serious risk of problems so ideally there should be a continuous flow of fibre coming through to help protect the stomach from digestive disturbances. The Mollichaff Complete range offers three fibre-based com- plete feeds. When fed at the recommended amounts, these com- plete feeds can be used as the sole bucket feed as they each contain a broad spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement and only
require good quality forage to be fed alongside. Being fibre-based feeds rather than cereal-based, they are a much more natural way of feeding. A fibre-based feed will weigh a lot less than cereal and so the recommended feeding amounts may seem like a lot, but it’s important to ensure your horse or pony is getting the correct amount in order for him to get all the vitamins and minerals he requires.

This super-fibre conditioning feed is a formulated blend containing all the benefits of the original Speedi-Beet product, with added high quality alfalfa for optimum condition and to provide quality protein for muscle tone and function.
Fibre-Beet has been carefully designed to help keep the digestive system healthy with a blend of fibre sources that provide gut fill and are easily digested when compared to forage fibre. It has been awarded the Gastric Ulcer Feed Assurance Mark by the British Equestrian Trade Association and was the first soaking mash product to be approved, making it suitable for horses and ponies prone to equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS).
Fibre-Beet can also improve energy intake whilst keeping dietary fibre levels at an optimum providing slow release energy without ‘fizz’.
Suitable for all horses when fed appropriately, Fibre-Beet provides a good range of minerals, trace elements and amino acids and it has low sugar and starch content. Fibre-Beet has added biotin for hoof quality and is an ideal fibre source for horse and ponies prone to laminitis. Fibre-Beet can be soaked and ready to feed in only 45 minutes in cold water, or 15 minutes in warm water – ideal for adding extra warmth in winter.
