SPILLERS® Cool Fibre

The perfect complement

Fibre should be the foundation of every horse’s diet as it is fundamental for digestive health. Adding a double handful of chopped fibre to your horse’s feed is routine but often little thought is given to choosing the right fibre for your horse.

SPILLERS® Cool fibre is a unique balanced blend of natural fibres to complement low energy feeds.

  • A unique balanced blend of natural fibres ideal for horses and ponies with low energy requirements.
  • Contains a palatable blend of dried British alfalfa and straw carefully chosen for its consistent nutritional quality with garlic and soya oil.
  • Extremely low in calories and sugar making it ideal for good doers.
  • Enriched with a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals including magnesium known for its calming properties to provide your horse or pony with more nutrition than any other chopped fibre blend.
  • Can be combined with a mix or cube or fed as a replacement for compound feed (see feeding guidelines below).
  • Its short chopped form extends eating time and provides extra bulk.

Feeding Guide

Add 200gms (approximately a double handful) per feed. To replace compound feed the following table is intended as a guide. Horses have individual requirements that are influenced by many factors including age, workload, weather and quality of grazing / forage.

  • Clean fresh water should be available at all times
  • Good quality forage should be included in the diet at a minimum of 50% of the total ration.
  • We advise the inclusion of 1 tablespoon of salt per day.
