Fiber Fresh Boost+® is a specifically formulated feed comprising of freshly cut Lucerne and kibbled Barley, mixed in the correct proportions, of fibre:grain being a 2:1 ratio by weight.
This ratio is ideal to increase saliva production, slow intake, increase digestion and metabolism of both the grain and fibre portion, plus maintains healthy gut function and hydration. The unique process of controlled fermentation of the Barley enhances its starch digestibility.
- Fresh cut Lucerne and kibbled Barley to optimise digestive health
- Builds top-line and condition
- Superior protein and amino acids for young growing horses
- Contains all essential vitamins and minerals for a complete feed

Fiber Boost+® Feeding Recommendation When planning a horse’s diet, the most important thing to consider is that the horse must receive an absolute minimum of 1.5% of its bodyweight in forage fibre – e.g. hay, pasture, and or Fiber Fresh. The rest of the diet must then be balanced according to the composition of that fibre and the physiological demands of the horse e.g. growth, lactation, exercise for extra energy, protein etc. When introducing Fiber Boost+® to the diet increase daily amounts by 0.5kg increments until the required feeding amount is reached as per our recommended feeding rates. We recommend feeding a minimum of 2kg per day. Most sport/race horses do best on 4-6kgs of FiberBoost® per day.
