Fibre is digested by fermentation in the horse’s hind gut or caecum, unlocking energy rich volatile fatty acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe digestion of fibre sources such as pasture, hay and chaff are about 40-60% efficient, meaning that about 40- 60% of all fibre is either not digested, or only partially digested and ultimately passes as waste in the horse’s manure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy comparison, super fibres such as the soy hulls in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBenchmark Super Fibre Mash\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare about 75-80% digestible, meaning that much less is passed as waste and importantly more nutritional benefit is gained from each kg of super fibres fed.
