Horses require a High Fibre diet to maintain digestive health, provide energy, and support their overall well being, as their digestive systems are specifically designed to process fibre.
Digestive Health – Horses have evolved to consume a diet rich in fibrous forage, essential for their digestive system. Fibre promotes the proper functioning of the gut, particularly the hind gut, where fermentation occurs, allowing the horse to absorb vital nutrients and energy. A high fibre diet helps prevent digestive issues such as colic and gastric ulcers.
Energy Source – Fibre provides a slow release source of energy, which is crucial for horses engaged in various activities. Unlike high starch diets that can cause spikes in blood sugar levels, fibre helps them to maintain stable energy levels throughout the day, preventing sudden energy crashes.
Psychological Well being – Horses are natural grazers and have evolved to eat for long periods, typically 16-18 hours a day. A high fibre diet mimics their natural feeding behaviour, helping prevent boredom and associated behavioural issues.
Types of Fibre sources – Common sources of fibre in a horses diet include hay, pasture grasses and chaff. These are crucial to maintaining a balanced diet and should form the majority of what horses consume. Sugar Beet Pulp and other fibrous sources can be included.
