The benefits of superfibres in soy hulls has been harnessed and digestive support improved with the addition of pre and pro-biotics and Melofeed™, a natural source of antioxidant. Importantly, a special mineral premix has been included to balance iron, copper \u0026amp; zinc ratios to ensure Benchmark Super Fibre Mash® is a safe and balanced addition to any equine diet. Being low in sugars and starch, Benchmark Super Fibre Mash® is safe for the laminitic and EMS horse and pony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark Superfibre Mash™ is primarily a fibre source and does not provide a full array of vitamins, minerals or amino acids. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s so great about Super fibres?\u003cbr\u003eApart from water, fibre is the most important component of a horse’s natural diet. 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 Benchmark Super Fibre Mash® are 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. Super fibres also stimulate fermentation, helping to protect the delicate microbiota (micro flora) balance in the hind gut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow to prepare Perfect Mash for your horse?\u003cbr\u003eBy volume\u003cbr\u003eTo 1-part Perfect Mash add 2-3 parts cold or warm water. Soak for 5-10mins before feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr by weight\u003cbr\u003eTo every 500gs of Perfect Mash add 1 -1.5 litres of cold or warm water. Soak as above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect Mash should be introduced gradually over 7-14 days to allow your horse’s gut enzymes to adjust to the new feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDO NOT FEED DRY\u003cbr\u003e20kg Bag\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Benchmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40199409795161,"sku":"120498","price":45.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/3121\/5705\/products\/benchmark-super-fibre-mash.jpg?v=1662440534","url":"https:\/\/petandpaddock.co.nz\/products\/super-fibre-mash-20kg","provider":"Pet \u0026 Paddock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
