Fiber Wafer: The Structure Chunk for a Healthy and Happy Horse
High-quality, fiber-rich forage is essential in every horse’s diet. However, it’s not always easy to provide. In some cases, it may be necessary to supplement or partially replace traditional forage (hay or silage). This can occur when a horse has dental issues that make chewing forage difficult, or when the available forage is of poor quality.
Why Choose Equilannoo Fiber Wafer?
The Fiber Wafer is more than just a pellet. It’s a high-fiber, low-sugar, and low-starch alternative with numerous benefits:
Prolonged Chewing: Its hard structure encourages your horse to chew thoroughly, increasing saliva production, which is crucial for healthy digestion and preventing gastric problems.
Better Nutrient Absorption: It slows down feed intake, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels and maximize nutrient absorption.
Versatile Use: It can be used as a forage substitute or as a supplement to concentrate feed, depending on your horse’s needs.
What Makes Fiber Wafer So Unique?
The Fiber Wafer contains carefully selected ingredients like alfalfa, timothy grass, and sainfoin:
Alfalfa: Rich in digestible proteins, vitamins, and minerals, it promotes strong muscles and a healthy immune system.
Timothy Grass: A fiber-rich, low-sugar grass that supports digestion and provides stable energy.
Sainfoin: Packed with natural tannins that support gut health and offer natural protection against digestive issues.
Thanks to these ingredients, the Fiber Wafer provides digestible proteins that are both nutritious and palatable.
How to Use Fiber Wafer
The Fiber Wafer can be used in various ways, depending on your horse’s needs:
1. As a complete forage substitute: Ideal for horses needing additional structure or with limited access to hay. Feed about 1 to 1.5 kg per 100 kg body weight.
2. As a supplement to forage: Perfect for adding extra fibers and proteins to the daily diet. Feed about 0.2 to 0.4 kg per 100 kg body weight.
• Adult horses (600 kg): Maximum 2 kg per day.
• Adult ponies (300 kg): Maximum 1 kg per day.
The pellets can also be soaked in water at a 1:1 ratio (e.g., 1 scoop of Fiber Wafer to 1 scoop of water). Suitable for all horses, ponies, and other equines. Complementary feed for horses.
Benefits for Your Horse
Healthy Digestion: Prolonged chewing stimulates saliva production and supports optimal gut function.
Reduced Boredom: The fiber-rich texture keeps your horse engaged for longer, helping to reduce stress.
Higher Protein Content: Supports muscle development and recovery, especially important for sport horses or stress-sensitive horses.

With Fiber Wafer, you provide your horse with more than a healthy, balanced meal—you enhance its overall well-being. Whether you have a performance horse or a leisure horse needing extra fiber, Fiber Wafer is the perfect choice.
