GWF Nutrition Fibregest Horse Feed 20kg – For Senior Horses

GWF Nutrition Fibregest – 20kg

Fibregest is GWF's conditioning feed, built as a 3mm pellet on soya hulls, micronised beet pulp, linseed expeller and oats. GWF describe it as a high-specification conditioning feed with less than 10% combined sugar and starch, for sustaining horses and ponies at all levels of work; their published figures are 4.2% starch and 5.7% sugar.

It needs no soaking and goes in straight from the bag at 1–2g per kilo of liveweight a day, which is 500g to 1kg for a 500kg horse. The small pellet is what makes it useful for a horse whose teeth are past chewing a coarse mix.

Performance & Benefits

• Starch 4.2% and sugar 5.7% — under 10% combined, which is GWF's headline claim for it.
• 13.3% crude protein and 6.2% crude oils and fats for condition without heating.
• Omega 3 fatty acids at 2.1%, with 2.5% Oatinol in the oil fraction.
• 3mm pellets, fed dry straight from the bag with no soaking.
• Sodium bicarbonate and seaweed meal in the mix.
• Wheat and gluten free, made to UFAS standards.

Suitable For

• Horses and ponies at any level of work that need condition.
• Horses with EMS or Cushing's — GWF name both, on the low starch and sugar.
• Horses with poor dentition that cannot manage a coarse feed.
• Anyone who wants a conditioning feed that does not need soaking.
• It contains genetically modified soya bean hulls, so for a soya-free diet Honeychop Topline & Shine is the conditioning option we stock.

Feeding

• 1–2g per kilo of liveweight per day — 500g to 1kg for a 500kg horse.
• Split across the day's feeds rather than giving it in one.
• Feed dry, straight from the bag; no soaking is required.
• Introduce gradually and adjust to condition and workload.
• Fresh water at all times.
