Simple System Lucie Fibre Cubes – 20kg High Fibre Low Sugar Lucerne
Simple System Lucie Fibre Cubes – 20kg
Lucie Fibre Cubes are Simple System's highest-fibre, lowest-sugar lucerne — 27–37% fibre and under 7% sugar, pressed into 6mm cubes. They are the feed the company itself names first when asked what to give a laminitis-prone horse, and the reason is the numbers rather than the marketing.
Being lucerne rather than grass, they also bring something grass pellets can't: a different forage type. Gut microbes do better on variety than on monotony, so a horse eating hay all winter benefits from a second plant in the diet even when the calorie count stays low.
Performance & Benefits
- Simple System's highest-fibre lucerne — 27–37% crude fibre.
- Low in sugar (under 7%) and starch (under 3%), suiting good doers and metabolic concerns.
- Low calorie, so it can be fed for bulk without adding condition.
- Offers an alternative forage type to grass, supporting a varied gut microbiome.
- Free from straw, fillers, cereals, molasses, soya and additives.
- Can be soaked, making it suitable for foals, elderly or dentally challenged horses.
Suitable For
- Horses and ponies prone to laminitis.
- Native breeds and good doers.
- Horses with metabolic issues.
- Horses on box rest needing chew time without energy.
- Dentally challenged horses, when soaked.
Feeding
- Introduce gradually over a week, as with any new feed.
- Ideally fed soaked — 2 to 2.5 parts water to 1 part cubes.
- Alternatively, mix with soaked PuraBeet or a Simple System chop and dampen well.
- Start with 100g per 100kg bodyweight per day, dry weight before soaking, increasing as required up to 5kg per day.
- For an economical hay replacer with very low sugar and starch, soak two parts Lucie Fibre Cubes to one part PuraBeet.

- Crude protein 9–12%. Crude fibre 27–37%. Sugar under 7%. Starch under 3%.
