Hōiho Super Fibre – Bridging the Fibre Gap
Is your horse getting the fibre it really needs?
Fibre is the foundation of a healthy equine diet. Horses are naturally designed to graze and consume fibrous forage throughout the day, supporting their digestive system and overall wellbeing.
However, not all pasture provides the same nutritional value. Seasonal changes, pasture growth rates, grass composition and grazing availability can all influence the amount and type of fibre your horse consumes.
That's where Hōiho Super Fibre comes in.
What makes super fibre so valuable?
Super fibres are highly digestible fibre sources that can be fermented by beneficial microorganisms in the horse's hindgut, providing a useful source of energy without relying heavily on starch and sugar.
Unlike some traditional energy sources, digestible fibre can help contribute to a more fibre-focused feeding programme.
Filling the fibre gap
Hōiho Super Fibre is intended to help complement a horse's existing forage intake and provide additional digestible fibre where needed.
A well-balanced fibre intake helps support:
Healthy hindgut function – Providing fermentable fibre for the hindgut's (cecum) microbial population.
Digestive wellbeing – Supporting the horse's natural fibre-based digestive processes.
Fibre-derived energy – Helping provide energy through microbial fermentation.
Balanced feeding – Complementing pasture, hay and other forage sources as part of an appropriate feeding programme.
Stronger from the inside out
At Holistic Hōiho, we believe good feeding starts with understanding what your horse needs and what its existing diet provides.
Hōiho Super Fibre offers another way to support a fibre-first approach to feeding, particularly when pasture conditions and forage quality change throughout the year.
Good nutrition starts with good fibre.
