Fibre Mash is an innovative, quick-soaking, nutritionally balanced mash and is ideal when either hydration is an issue or when feeding succulent/wet feed is needed. Rich in calories and essential amino acids, it helps weight gain. The linseed oil contributes to shiny coat, whilst the alfalfa stems help to maximize digestive efficiency.


Fibre Mash is different from tradiitonal mashes
Traditionally, mashes were made from wheat bran and were fed irregularly, often just once a week. It was mistakenly believed that this helped to prevent digestive upsets. In fact, the laxative effect of bran mashes may be a result of mild digestive upset, caused by the abrupt change in diet.
Similarly, the long-held belief that bran mashes helped to warm a horse is untrue; far more body heat will be generated by the fermentation of forage in the hindgut. The problem with feeding bran alone is compounded by the fact that bran is very low in calcium and essential amino acids such as lysine.
Nowadays, nutritionists rarely recommend feeding bran mashes so the alternative is Fibre Mash which has been formulated to support the digestive system and provide your horse with optimal levels of all the essential vitamins and minerals. When fed daily, it will help to keep your horse in good shape.


Ideal during winter and for horses with chewing problems
In winter, our horses' diets tend to become much drier; preserved forages (i.e. hay/haylage) contain significantly less water compared to fresh grass. This combined with the fact that our horses can drink as much as 12% less water during chilly days can contribute to problems including reduced performance, increased risk of digestive upset and diminished appetite.
A soaked mash will help to add water back into your horse’s diet and moreover they have been proven to help improve overall water intake, compared to feeding a dry concentrate feed. This becomes very important if your horse has to be confined to his stable, perhaps in atrocious weather.
Fibre Mash is also a godsend for horses that have difficulties swallowing or chewing, including veterans with dental problems or horses prone to choke. It is ideal for disguising unpalatable medicine or powdered supplements.
Remember never to use water hotter than lukewarm or you will destroy all those helpful vitamins inside Fibre Mash.
