Fibre-Beet
Fibre-Beet is a conditioning feed with a carefully formulated combination of Speedi-Beet and alfalfa supplemented with biotin, sodium and calcium. It has all the benefits of Speedi-Beet with its high level of easily digested soluble fibre for slow energy release, along with low starch and sugar.
The alfalfa provides quality protein containing essential amino acids for muscle tone and function and the oat fibre provides a complementary nutrient profile. Fibre-Beet is designed to be fed wet which is the most natural way to feed your horse.
The hot, dry summer of 2025 has had a noticeable impact on forage production, with yields and quality being reported as being lower than usual. As a result, the nutritional value of forage may be reduced, meaning hay and haylage might not offer the same benefits that hay and haylage can usually be relied on for.

The continued lack of rainfall and unusually high temperatures throughout the summer created drought like conditions which had a notable impact on the nutritional composition of the pasture which then becomes our forage has real implications for how we feed our horses.
Pasture growth slows under these conditions leading to forage that is lower in energy, digestible fibre, and minerals while protein levels may be elevated. Stressed grass may produce more antioxidants but lack essential nutrients, affecting horses’ energy intake and digestive efficiency.
Replacing forage or supplementing forage with high-performance beet mash sources like Fibre-Beet aids digestion, supports hydration and maintains nutrient intake.
Fibre-Beet is designed to:
• Encourage hindgut fermentation and fibre digestibility
• Extend and enhance poor-quality hay
• Fibre-Beet Mash can replace up to 60% of hay long-term, or 100% short-term, while improving overall gut health
With 1.5kg of hay being replaced with 1 kg of dry weight of soaked Fibre-Beet it may well turn out to be more cost effective as well as nutritionally more beneficial for your customers.
