Providing Fibre this Winter
22 October 2007
After the disastrous floods, haymaking and straw has been non-existent for many farmers in the midlands and south-west.
Some shrewd farmers managed to take some good early hay in May and June before the rains set in but for many crops have been ruined and grass has seeded.
This winter hay will be in short supply of low nutritional value and variable quality.
Help give your horse all the goodness he needs this winter and maintain his fibre levels with Fibre-Beet from British Horse Feeds.
Fibre-Beet is a formulated blend containing all the benefits of the original Speedi-Beet product with added high quality Alfalfa for condition. Alfalfa can help with topline and that extra finishing touch for competition horses or simply in maintaining weight and a healthy, shiny coat.
Rich in protein, it provides an excellent source of digestible fibre and a high level of slow release energy without fizz.
Fibre-Beet can be fed to replace a proportion of forage sources such as hay and grazing. It can be fed up to 40% of the daily feed and the combination of Speedi-Beet and alfalfa means the bulking will improve the inherent digestion in the horse.
It also provides a good range of minerals, trace elements and amino acids. It can be used as a top dressing, or to replace hard feed and is extremely palatable.
Ideal for all types of horses and ponies, it is also beneficial to laminitics due to its high fibre, low sugar content and is approved by The Laminitis Trust. Fibre-Beet also contains Biotin to help maintain hoof integrity.
Fibre-Beet is soaked and ready to feed in only 45 minutes in cold water or 15 minutes in hot water.
It is available from all leading wholesalers in easy to handle 20kg bags and costs £8.95.
