In addition to the Fibra Premium Roughage Mix, Fibra Anti-Itch has also been developed. The basis of Fibra Anti-itch roughage mix is the same as Fibra Premium roughage mix, but it also contains special ingredients such as mycotoxin binders, brewer's yeast, live yeasts, beta-glucans, antioxidants, and omega-3. These ingredients help to keep the body cleaner, support the liver, and balance the intestinal flora.

Composition
Fibra Anti-itch is very rich in structure, due to the alfalfa, timothy, spelt, carrot pieces, linseed oil, and a vitamin-mineral pellet. This means a horse has to chew a lot, and it stimulates the intestines. This contributes to a healthier digestive system. It is very palatable and is well accepted even by the most picky horses and ponies.
The specific raw materials are specially selected based on their suitability for your horse and the levels of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.
- Alfalfa: Alfalfa contains a high level of natural vitamins A, B, and E, biotin, minerals, essential amino acids, and trace elements.
- Timothy: very suitable roughage for horses due to its low fructan content (sugar) and good structure. Natural healthy flavour enhancer.
- Spelt: Unlike oats, barley, and wheat, spelt has not undergone agricultural improvements; it is still in its original form. Naturally contains many vitamins, minerals, and trace elements and provides "stimulus".
- Beetroot pieces: Beetroot contains vitamins A, B, and C, contains the substance betaine and makes the mix extra palatable.
- Carrot flakes: Carrot flakes contain a lot of natural pro-vitamin A (Beta-carotene) which can be converted into vitamin A by horses and ponies.
- Linseed oil: Linseed oil is a very high-quality oil that contains many essential fatty acids. These fatty acids contribute, among other things, to a good nervous system and strong bones, and a shiny coat.
- Vitamin and mineral pellet: Supplements vitamins and minerals to the required amount and ensures the correct balance between all nutrients.
- Biotin*: is important for good coat, skin, and hoof quality.
-
Antioxidants*: Antioxidants promote internal cleansing
- Mycotoxin binder*: mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by fungi. They can occur on grains, roughage, and grass and are invisible.
- Yeasts and live yeasts*: promote internal cleansing and balance the intestinal flora
-
Beta-glucans*:contribute to a better immune system and support the immune system
-
Extra vitamin B12*: a deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to sensitivity to allergies.
* added to vitamin and mineral pellet
Anti-itch Additives
Many special raw materials have been added to the Anti-itch that actively remove waste products, cleanse the body, optimize intestinal flora, increase resistance, and have many other positive effects, such as mycotoxin binders, brewer's yeast, live yeasts, beta-glucans, antioxidants, and omega 3. These additives are in the vitamin-mineral pellet, making it darker in color than the pellet in the Premium.
Feeding Advice
- Feed sufficient roughage
- Supplement the roughage with the right amount of Fibra to provide your horse with everything it needs
-
Ensure your horse is never without roughage for more than 4 hours, but it is much better to ensure your horse has something to nibble on 24/7. Use slow feeders if necessary
-
Ensure your horse always has access to sufficient fresh drinking water
-
The digestive system needs 10 days to get used to a change in diet. Therefore, gradually switch to new feed over 10 days
It is important to feed Fibra Premium for at least 2 months a year instead of Fibra Anti-itch, to prevent the horse's body from becoming lazy in self-cleaning and dependent on the support.
The recommended amount is 200 grams of Fibra Anti-itch per 100 kg of body weight. Because certain raw materials are present that are only optimally effective in the body at a minimum amount, it is recommended to adhere to this advised amount.
This amount is sufficient for maintenance and light work. If your horse has heavy work, you can safely give it more or supplement with Fibra Premium. In addition to Fibra, you do not need to feed any other concentrates or muesli. I even advise against it because other products may contain ballast or disrupt the proportions between different nutrients.
A standard (yellow) feed scoop holds approximately 300g of Fibra. It is wise to weigh how much you put in your feed scoop the first time!
As a cleansing cure, it is advised to feed Fibra Anti-itch for at least 2 months.
Chafing should be treated with Fibra Anti-itch cream. The experiences of other horse owners from the practical test of Fibra Anti-itch cream are very positive; it relieves itching and supports the skin so it can recover.
