Product Description

Fibre should be the foundation of every horse’s diet as it is fundamental for digestive health. Adding a double handful of chopped fibre to your horse’s feed is routine but often little thought is given to choosing the right fibre for your horse.

SPILLERS Cool fibre is a unique balanced blend of natural fibres to complement low energy feeds.

• A unique balanced blend of natural fibres ideal for horses and ponies with low energy requirements.
• Contains a palatable blend of dried British alfalfa and straw carefully chosen for its consistent nutritional quality with garlic and soya oil.
• Extremely low in calories and sugar making it ideal for good doers.
• Enriched with a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals including magnesium known for its calming properties to provide your horse or pony with more nutrition than any other chopped fibre blend.
• Can be combined with a mix or cube or fed as a replacement for compound feed (see feeding guidelines below).
• Its short chopped form extends eating time and provides extra bulk.
