Fiber Fresh Boost+ is a specifically formulated feed comprising of freshly cut Lucerne and kibbled barley, mixed in the correct proportions, of fibre:barley at a 2:1 ratio (in weight). Plus, with a comprehensive vitamin and mineral premix—it can now be fed as a complete feed!
Fiber Boost+ provides superior protein and amino acids for growth and development required in young growing horses, equine athletes and those requiring a conditioning feed or top-line boost. The balance of protein and highly digestible slow-release energy makes it ideal for stallions, broodmares, youngsters and older horses that need a safe, high-energy conditioning feed.

Fiber Boost+ Feeding Recommendation
When introducing Fiber Boost+ to the diet increase daily amounts by 0.5kg increments until the required feeding amount is reached as per our recommended feeding rates.
We recommend for those who feed twice a day, to feed 0.5kg of Fiber Fresh per 100kg of horse. We recommend feeding a minimum of 2kg per day.
| Horse Weight | Per Feed Fiber Fresh Weight Recommended | Total Daily Fiber Fresh Weight Recommended |
| 200kg | 1kg | 2kg |
| 300kg | 1.5kg | 3kg |
| 400kg | 2kg | 4kg |
| 500kg | 2.5kg | 5kg |
| 600kg | 3kg | 6kg |
| 700kg | 3.5kg | 7kg |
| 800kg | 4kg | 8kg |
Fiber Boost+ Feeding Notes
When planning a horse’s diet, the most important thing to consider is that the horse must receive an absolute minimum of 1.5% of its body weight in forage fibre – e.g. hay, pasture, and or Fiber Fresh. The rest of the diet must then be balanced according to the composition of that fibre and the physiological demands of the horse e.g. growth, lactation, exercise for extra energy, protein etc.
The 2:1 ratio promotes saliva production, chewing, digestion, and supports gut health and hydration. Controlled fermentation of kibbled barley enhances its digestibility uniquely.
