Hygain® Micrbeet® is high in soluble fibre and low in sugar, suitable for all equines regardless of age and use.

MICRBEET® has the outstanding feature of providing digestible energy ranging between good quality hay and grains in the form of soluble fibre as opposed to sourcing energy from starches and sugars.

  • High in soluble fibres to maintain a healthy gut.
  • Increases the caloric content and energy density in the diet.
  • Encourages intake of less palatable feeds, ideal for the fussy eaters.
  • High fibre, low starch formula ideal for horses prone to metabolic related issues.
  • Provides calm conditioning ideal for excitable horses.
  • Soak in water to create a mash that provides an adequate fibre substitute for dentally challenged equines.

As a supplemental fibre source when fed with premixed feeds and hay*
HYGAIN® MICRBEET® can be fed as an addition to your horse’s premixed feed/grains and roughage. HYGAIN® MICRBEET® can also be used as a top dressing to encourage the intake of less palatable feeds.

Grazing should be restricted and the soaking of hay is recommended for equines prone to starch/sugar related conditions (e.g.: laminitis, grain intolerance, cushings etc.). HYGAIN® MICRBEET® may also be used in conjunction with HYGAIN® ZERO® the unique low Carb – low GI formula providing the required balance of daily nutrients in the diet.

Testimonials

Brett Cantle - top level eventer

"When extra fibre is required in my horses diets, Micrbeet and Fibressentials are used as supplementary feeds. They give me peace of mind knowing they provide consistent nutritional values all year round, are low in starch (which causes fizzy behaviour) and provide superior conditioning. If I am looking for increased muscle mass and topline then I also add a bit of Showtorque! Finally I am a big believer in surrounding yourself with good people and high quality products. I love working with Hygain because the feeds cannot be faulted and the staff are only too willing to help. Thanks Hygain!"
