Johnson’s Fibre Safe is a high fibre, low starch and low sugar pelleted feed. Made from a selection of Premium Australian Fibres and Super Fibres, it is grain and molasses free. Formulated as a cool feed, it is suitable for all horses and ponies in light, medium or hard work, retired or spelling horses, breeding and growing horses. Provides very low starch and sugar levels, which may make it a suitable feed for horses who tie up, or suffer from Laminitis, Cushings, Insulin Resistance, Equine Metabolic Syndrome etc. Fibre Safe is a suitable substitute for roughage such as pasture, hay, chaff if quality or availability is limited, or in cases where horse’s teeth prevent them from chewing adequately.
Johnson’s Fibre Safe contains a blend of Lupins and Lupin Hulls, Low Sugar Cereal Hay and Straw, Lucerne Hay, Legume Hulls and GMO free Soy Oil.
Feeding rates may be influenced by age, workload, body condition, appetite, and pasture or hay availability.
Fibre Safe weighs about 5 times more than the same volume of chaff (before soaking).
Fibre Safe is designed to be fed wet. Soak 1 part Fibre Safe with 3 parts water for 5 mins (warm water) or 10 mins (cold water) before feeding.
