Strengthen The Foundation With SPILLERS® Fibres

Fibre should be the foundation of every horse’s diet, as it is what they have evolved to eat. That’s why SPILLERS® has formulated a useful range of complementary fibres that are much more than the average chaff. SPILLERS® fibres not only provide a reliable source of high quality fibre but they have also been specifically formulated with vitamins and minerals to make your feed work harder for your horse’s health. Whether you have a native pony or an elite performance horse fibre should form at least half the diet. 65% of the horse’s digestive system is devoted to fermenting and digesting fibre. The process provides energy and generates heat to help keep your horse warm in winter, while foraging and chewing keeps them occupied for long periods, just as nature intended. Alongside hay or haylage chopped fibre can be used bulk out your horse’s feed. It’s an excellent way to help reduce boredom by extending eating time if your horse is stabled during the winter. Clare Barfoot, registered nutritionist at SPILLERS® says: “We all want to do our best for our horses’ health and access to good quality forage is one of the easiest ways to help. However this alone may not provide a balanced diet as forage is often deficient in important nutrients such as quality protein, vitamins and trace elements. Adding some chopped fibre with added vitamins and minerals to your horse’s feed this winter can give you peace of mind that his feed is working as hard as it can to help keep him happy and healthy.” SPILLERS® Cool Fibre with magnesium is the perfect complement for low energy feeds, SPILLERS® Conditioning Fibre with rapeseed oil is the optimum partner for SPILLERS® conditioning feeds and SPILLERS® Senior Fibre with glucosamine has been specially developed to add additional support to senior feeds. All three can also be fed as the sole bucket feed, at the recommended quantities to provide a balanced diet. SPILLERS® is giving you the chance to save £2.00 on every bag of SPILLERS® complementary fibres, during February and March while stocks last. Look out for the special flash-marked packs in-store.
