Fibre-Beet 20kg

Fibre-Beet – 20kg is a high-fibre conditioning feed for horses and ponies, combining Speedi-Beet, alfalfa and oat fibre with added biotin, sodium and calcium.

Designed to be fed soaked, Fibre-Beet provides highly digestible fibre for slow-release energy while remaining low in starch and sugar. The inclusion of alfalfa provides quality protein and essential amino acids to support normal muscle condition and function, while oat fibre contributes additional complementary fibre and nutrients.

It is particularly useful for horses requiring additional condition and calories from fibre or where owners want to control dietary starch intake.

What's in Fibre-Beet?

Fibre-Beet combines three complementary fibre sources:

Speedi-Beet provides highly digestible soluble fibre, helping deliver slow-release energy without relying on high levels of starch or sugar.

Alfalfa provides quality protein, including essential amino acids required for normal muscle maintenance and function.

Oat Fibre adds another source of fibre and contributes a complementary nutritional profile to the formulation.

The feed is also supplemented with biotin, sodium and calcium.

Conditioning Without Relying on High Starch

Fibre-Beet is specifically designed as a conditioning feed.

Because it can be incorporated into the ration in larger quantities than Speedi-Beet, it provides a useful way of increasing digestible fibre and dietary calories for horses that need additional condition.

This can make it particularly useful for:

• Poor doers.
• Horses struggling to maintain condition.
• Horses needing additional fibre-based calories.
• Older horses where an appropriately soaked feed is desirable.
• Horses in work requiring additional slow-release energy.
• Feeding programmes where starch intake is being controlled.

Low in Starch & Sugar

Fibre-Beet is formulated to be low in both starch and sugar, making it useful when owners want to provide additional condition without relying heavily on traditional cereal-based feeds.

For horses with metabolic or endocrine conditions, the suitability of the complete diet should be assessed with a veterinarian or qualified equine nutrition professional.

Supports Muscle Condition

The alfalfa component provides quality protein containing essential amino acids.

Protein and amino acids are required for the normal maintenance of muscle tissue, making Fibre-Beet particularly relevant for horses where maintaining body and muscle condition is an important feeding objective.

Designed to Be Fed Soaked

Fibre-Beet is designed to be soaked and fed wet.

This provides a moist, fibre-rich meal and can also contribute additional water to the horse's overall daily intake.

Do not feed Fibre-Beet dry.

Prepare according to the current manufacturer's soaking instructions before feeding.

Fibre-Beet vs Speedi-Beet

Although the two products are related, they fulfil slightly different feeding roles.

Speedi-Beet is primarily a highly digestible beet-pulp fibre feed and is particularly versatile as a fibre source or supplement carrier.

Fibre-Beet combines Speedi-Beet with alfalfa and oat fibre and is designed to be fed in larger quantities, making it particularly useful as a conditioning fibre feed.

For customers specifically looking to increase condition while maintaining a low-starch feeding approach, Fibre-Beet may therefore be the more appropriate option.

Ideal For

• Horses and ponies.
• Poor doers.
• Horses requiring additional condition.
• Horses needing additional fibre-based calories.
• Horses on controlled-starch diets.
• Horses requiring slow-release energy.
• Horses where a soaked feed is preferred.
• Light-work horses on forage-based feeding programmes.
• Horses requiring additional quality protein as part of their ration.

Feeding Guide

Fibre-Beet must be soaked before feeding.

Feed quantities should be determined according to the horse's:

• Body weight.
• Body condition.
• Workload.
• Forage intake.
• Overall ration.
• Individual nutritional requirements.

The manufacturer's exact feeding quantities, soaking ratio and soaking time were not supplied, so these should be taken directly from the current Fibre-Beet packaging rather than estimated.

Introduce new feeds gradually and ensure clean, fresh drinking water and appropriate forage are always available.

FAQs

What is Fibre-Beet?
Fibre-Beet is a high-fibre conditioning horse feed combining Speedi-Beet, alfalfa and oat fibre with added biotin, sodium and calcium.

Is Fibre-Beet the same as Speedi-Beet?
No. Speedi-Beet forms part of Fibre-Beet, but Fibre-Beet also contains alfalfa and oat fibre and is specifically designed to provide a more substantial conditioning feed.

Is Fibre-Beet low in starch?
Yes. It is formulated as a low-starch feed.

Is Fibre-Beet low in sugar?
Yes. It is described as low in sugar.

Can Fibre-Beet help a horse gain condition?
It is specifically formulated as a conditioning feed and provides digestible fibre and calories that can contribute to healthy weight and condition as part of an appropriately balanced ration.

Does Fibre-Beet contain alfalfa?
Yes. Alfalfa is one of its principal components and provides quality protein and essential amino acids.

Does Fibre-Beet need to be soaked?
Yes. Fibre-Beet is designed to be soaked and fed wet. Follow the current manufacturer's preparation instructions.

Can Fibre-Beet replace a conventional concentrate?
The manufacturer indicates that, for some horses in light work, Fibre-Beet can form part of a forage-based diet alongside an appropriate balancer. Whether this provides a fully balanced ration depends on the quantities fed, forage analysis and the individual horse's nutritional requirements.
