British Horse Feeds Fibre Beet 20kg

British Horse Feeds Fibre Beet 20kg

Fibre-Beet is the high-fibre solution for performance horses and those on reduced forage rations. Combining the digestive benefits of sugar beet with the protein quality of alfalfa and oatfeed, British Horse Feeds Fibre-Beet supports gut health, overall well-being, and sustained energy — all in a versatile, soakable feed.

Key Benefits

• High fibre content — helps replace or supplement forage in the diet, supporting healthy gut function
• Quality protein from alfalfa & oatfeed — supports muscle maintenance, topline, and overall condition
• Improves gut health & well-being — the combination of fibre sources promotes a healthy hindgut environment
• Suitable for soaking — more flexible than most high-fibre feeds; ideal for horses that need a dampened or mashed feed
• Ideal for performance horses — provides digestible energy without relying on starch-heavy feeds
• Complementary feed — mix with a balancer or other feeds to create a complete, balanced ration

How to Feed

Soak before feeding — Fibre-Beet expands significantly when soaked, so always follow the recommended soaking instructions on pack. Feed alongside a suitable balancer or vitamin and mineral supplement to ensure a fully balanced diet. Introduce gradually over 7–10 days.

FAQ

How long does Fibre-Beet need to soak?

British Horse Feeds recommend soaking Fibre-Beet for a minimum of 15–20 minutes in cold water, or less in warm water. Always check the pack for the most up-to-date soaking instructions and expansion ratios.

Is Fibre-Beet suitable for horses prone to laminitis?

Fibre-Beet is a high-fibre feed, but it does contain sugar beet which has a moderate sugar content. We recommend consulting your vet or equine nutritionist before feeding to laminitis-prone or insulin-dysregulated horses.

Can I feed Fibre-Beet to replace hay or haylage?

Fibre-Beet can help supplement forage intake, particularly for performance horses on reduced hay rations, but it should not be used as a complete hay replacement. Always ensure horses have access to adequate long-stem forage.

What makes Fibre-Beet different from Speedi-Beet?

Fibre-Beet contains additional protein sources (alfalfa and oatfeed) alongside sugar beet pulp, making it higher in protein and particularly suited to horses needing extra fibre and condition support. Speedi-Beet is a purer sugar beet product focused on starch-free, non-heating calories.

Is it suitable for horses in hard work?

Yes — Fibre-Beet is specifically designed as a feed for performance horses, providing digestible fibre energy to support horses in moderate to hard work.
