Whats so great about Super fibres?

Apart from water fibre is the most important component of a horses natural diet. Fibre is digested by fermentation in the horses hind gut or caecum unlocking energy rich volatile fatty acids.
The digestion of fibre sources such as pasture hay and chaff are about 40-60 percent efficient meaning that about 40 60 percent of all fibre is either not digested or only partially digested and ultimately passes as waste in the horses manure.
By comparison super fibres such as the soy hulls in Benchmark Super Fibre Mash are about 75-80 percent digestible meaning that much less is passed as waste and importantly more nutritional benefit is gained from each kg of super fibres fed. Super fibres also stimulate fermentation helping to protect the delicate microbiota micro flora balance in the hind gut.
