Fat ’n’ Fibre Pelleted Horse Feed for Maintenance and Light Work
Balanced Pelleted Feed for Maintenance and Light-Performance Horses
Master feeds Fat ’n’ Fibre is a complete and balanced pelleted horse feed formulated for horses at maintenance and those performing light work. With a minimum of 12% crude protein, 5% crude fat and a maximum of 15% crude fibre, it provides a practical combination of protein, added fat, fibre, vitamins and minerals in one convenient ration.
This controlled-starch horse feed is a suitable everyday option for riding schools, boarding facilities, leisure riders and trainers looking for a straightforward fat-and-fibre feeding program. Its consistent pellet format is easy to measure, handle and store while helping prevent the ingredient separation that can occur in loose feed mixtures.
The elevated fibre and added fat provide useful dietary energy for maintaining body condition when the product is fed according to its label. Complete vitamin and mineral fortification means additional supplements are generally unnecessary when the recommended quantity is fed alongside good-quality hay. Always consider the complete diet before adding another fortified supplement.

Introduce feed changes gradually and divide larger daily amounts into multiple meals. Provide continuous access to fresh water and suitable salt. Store the bag in a cool, dry, covered location and never feed damp, mouldy or contaminated material.
