Energy levels: 
• Equifibre Meadow Pro is described as a ‘cool energy’ fibre supplement.  
• Calories (Megajoules, MJ) are a unit measure for energy.  
• Equifibre Meadow Pro is a low-calorie feed and therefore it is described as a ‘low-energy’  or ‘Cool energy’ fibre supplement.

Is Equifibre Meadow Pro suitable for laminitic horses and horses prone to other metabolic conditions? 
• So much around the issues of horses with metabolic issues and those which are predisposed to Laminitis are management related and excess feeding of any feedstuff can pose a risk to the horse.
• Equifibre Meadow Pro has a Starch level of <1.2% (Dry Matter) . This would equate to less than 5g of Starch per kg of Equifibre Meadow Pro ‘As Fed’. 
• Horses prone to Laminitis should have ideally no more than 1g of starch per kg bodyweight per meal.  
• Based on a 500kg horse, this would be no more than 500grams of starch per meal. 
• If you feed 2kg – 4kg of  Equifibre Meadow Pro per day, the horse would only be getting 10gms – 20gms of starch – well below the highest recommended levels of starch for laminitic horses.
• The Soluble Sugar level in Equifibre Meadow Pro is less than 2% ‘As Fed’ which would work out at 20 grams per kg of product being fed.  This is indicated by Technical data obtained from Hills Laboratories as a ‘low level’ of soluble sugar.
