Looking for increased muscle development and top-line condition while maintaining optimum gastric health?
Our popular FiberProtect® is a moderate energy feed (compared to FiberEzy® and FiberMix®) that also offers higher levels of digestible protein and essential amino acids – essential for many vital functions in your horse. Consisting exclusively of HNF® (High Nutritional Fiber), FiberProtect® has undergone a Modified Bio Fermentation process which results in a safe and healthy feed, suitable as the base forage fibre for all horses. FiberProtect® can also be fed in association with grain or grain-based concentrate feeds to counter the effects that the high starch and soluble carbohydrates in these feeds have on gastric health.
FiberProtect® ingredient composition:
Lucerne, Xanotyde® and cured molasses (1%)
FiberProtect® features:
FiberProtect® is produced exclusively by Fiber Fresh Feeds through a proprietary Modified Bio Fermentation process that not only preserves the full benefit of natural nutrition but also increases the energy value of the forage. This palatable high energy forage fibre, rich in natural yeasts and with an energy value similar to oats (but with the safety of fibre), can provide both the nutrients and energy for maximum performance. Feeding FiberProtect® provides 32% more retained energy, and 22% more digestible energy (DE) than dry lucerne chaff.
FiberProtect® will also help to reduce acidity in the stomach and hindgut and provide a more favourable environment for digestion through its natural buffering capacity. Horses obtain more nutrients, get more energy from less feed, and retain more available energy for training and performance when fed FiberProtect®.
FiberProtect® feeding recommendations:
FiberProtect® should be used to support pasture feeding, or mixed with concentrate feeds as a high quality forage source of energy and nutrients. A high energy forage fibre, with high levels of digestible protein, FiberProtect® is completely safe and ideal as the base forage in the ration of horses in all levels of activity. FiberProtect® is especially effective in helping avoid digestive discomfort and gastric intolerance due to excessive grain use, and can help improve digestive function and gastric health in all horses.
Always feed by weight and not volume and use scales to ensure accurate quantities. Feed at least 50% of your horse’s daily dry feed intake as forage and at least half of that as FiberProtect®. Avoid excessive use of grain-based feeds and prolonged periods without forage-based fibre. Evenly divide the recommended daily feed amount into two or more equally spaced feeds per day. Always provide free access to clean, fresh water.
Daily Feeding Guide (as fed) – Primary Feed:
The following recommendations are calculated to help correct the forage to grain ratio and provide a base of quality nutrition. Forage should make up at least 50% of the horse’s daily feed intake. Feeding levels are calculated to provide 50% of the daily forage requirements of the horse. Used at the following recommended daily feeding rates, FiberProtect® will help ensure optimum nutrition, general health, good behaviour and improved performance in your horse.

*Mature body weight 500kg horse, NRC 2007.
For sustained dietary relief of digestive discomfort and gastric intolerance to excessive grain use in active horses, feeding 1.75kg/100kg bodyweight daily (8.75kg of FiberProtect® as fed for a 500kg horse) will improve digestive function and gastric health.
