Description
Fiber Meadow is a highly digestible cool-energy fibre, comprised of high-fibre grasses (no lucerne) to complement every equine feeding regime. It is produced from 100% natural high-quality New Zealand pasture grasses and perfectly ensiled to optimise palatability and preserve all quality nutrients.
Fiber Meadow is a very digestible fibre source, bag-sealed to enhance nutritional quality and freshness. It is completely dust-free with a high moisture content. Fiber Meadow is ideal for horses with respiratory conditions, grass sensitivities, and those prone to laminitis or Cushing’s disease (due to the very low sugar and starch content).
When added to your regular hard feed, Fiber Meadow contributes to the horses’ daily fibre requirement. It slows feed consumption and encourages chewing – all attributes that benefit equine gastric and digestive health.
