FAQ

Can they replace hay or haylage?

Fibre Plus Nuggets are designed as a partial forage replacer — they should be fed alongside additional forage sources rather than as a complete hay replacement. For horses that cannot eat long-stem forage, consult your vet or equine nutritionist about appropriate forage alternatives.

Do they contain vitamins and minerals?

No — Fibre Plus Nuggets contain no added vitamins or minerals, so they can be fed alongside any existing balanced diet without causing nutritional imbalances. Always feed alongside a balancer or compound feed for a fully balanced diet.

Are they suitable for laminitic horses?

The low-starch, low-energy formulation makes Fibre Plus Nuggets a potentially suitable option for laminitis-prone horses. Always check the full nutritional analysis on the label and consult your vet.

How do I soak them?

Add warm water to the nuggets and allow to soak until soft. The soaking time will vary — follow the pack instructions for guidance. Soaked nuggets should be fed promptly and not left to stand for extended periods.
