Fibregest is a “Super Soluble
Fibre Feed”, derived from a blend of alfalfa, sugar beet and oat soluble fibres,
mixed with seaweed meal, chelated minerals and Oatinol™.
Overview - In the
Foregut
In the foregut, the normal passage of
feed from the mouth to hindgut takes 2 hours.
Fibregest pellets provide a palatable
source of digestible “super fibres” (soluble fibres) that gel with water in the
gut to create a texture which maintains a slow transit time of the feed and a slow release
of energy into the blood. In the small intestine, a steadier release of energy stops
hyper-activity, while a slower passage of feed allows enzymes more time to digest feed.
Overview - In the
Hindgut
In the hindgut, the normal passage of
feed from the caecum to anus takes 2/3 days.
Digestion in the hindgut is a slow,
fermentative process carried out by friendly bacteria. As feed is present in the hindgut
for several days, it is vitally important to maintain a healthy environment to prevent
digestive upsets. Fibregest acts as the perfect food source for these beneficial bacteria,
encouraging their natural activity and growth.
In combination with a high quality feed balancer, such as Equilibra™ 500, the support
from Fibregest will provide a sustained high level of fibre digestion for the benefit of
your horse or pony. In addition, the added Oatinol™ in Fibregest provides natural
antioxidants, emulsifiers and membrane fats to help maintain the lining of both the
foregut and hindgut digestive tracts.
