The ideal conditioning, fibre mash with Speedi-Beet and Lucerne.

FEEDING FOR WEIGHT GAIN
Start with at least 2kg of Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash (measured dry) daily. Increase or decrease quantities dependent on results. Results can be seen within one week of feeding. Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash horse feed can be fed at up to a maximum daily rate of 1kg (weight before soaking) per 100kg body weight of horse.
FEEDING AS A HAY REPLACER
500g of Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash (measured dry) is approximately equivalent to 1kg of hay. Remember, as Fibre-Beet Mash is a super fibre (it has been shown to improve hindgut fermentation) the horse can absorb up to 25% more nutrients of their overall diet.

POST OPERATIVE
Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash is ideal for post- operative surgery. Being a mash and a good fibre source, the additional water intake from the soaked mash helps to stimulate the gastrointestinal system for peristalsis and bowel movement.
HOW TO PREPARE
So easy to prepare!
Add 1 part dry Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash to 3 parts water by weight.
1/2kg of dry Barastoc Fibre-Beet Mash would require 1 1/2 litres of water.
You can prepare in advance if you wish, but prepare it with cold water, store in cool conditions and make sure it's consumed within 24 hours of soaking.
All new feeds should be introduced slowly and horse condition should be monitored. Split feeds throughout the day. Always consider good quality mineral/vitamin/trace element supplement (such as Barastoc Groom).
Fresh water should be available at all times. Ideally there should be free access to forage, but always feed to an individual's requirements.
This product must be soaked before feeding.
