Perrys Fibre Energy

An all new roughage based energy feed, better suited to the horses digestive processes, helping to avoid issues relating to grain heavy diets.

High Energy Roughage

FIBRE ENERGY is roughage based, but contains significantly higher digestible energy levels than pasture or hay, and is in fact higher in measurable energy levels (13mg DE/kg) than oats (12.5mj DE/kg) and barley (12.8mg DE/kg). 

How can Roughage contain high energy levels?

Perrys Fibre Energy contains energy in the form of:
- Soluble Sugars – Absorbed in the small intestine for immediate use and storage. Present in Vetch, Oaten Chaff, Molasses and Steam Rolled Oats
- Oil/Fats – A concentrated energy source which can be utilized in aerobic or anaerobic exercise. Omega 3 and Omega 6 oil is particularly important as it can’t be synthesized by the horse.
- Fibre – Slow fermentation of fibrous feed creates a continuous source energy through the production of Volatile Fatty Acids. Vetch, Oaten Chaff and Steam Rolled Oats contains high levels.

What is Vetch Hay?

Vetch is a legume, similar to Lucerne, but with higher protein and energy levels and is very palatable.

Grain Diet Difficulties?

Pasture and fibrous materials traditionally do not have high energy levels. Therefore, horses in work require extra energy which pasture and hay usually do not provide. Feeding of concentrates can make up this shortfall. However, the practice of feeding concentrate diets high in energy in less and shorter meals can lead to complications in the hindgut, and diseases such as acidosis, laminitis, colic and stomach ulcers. 

Horses Natural Instincts

A free-range horse can spend up to 16 to 18 hours a day searching for and selecting feed to meet its requirements.Their continuous feeding ensures that horses maintain a full stomach, and continuous buffering from saliva helps to protect the stomach from acid injuries.
