COOL FIBRE is made from 100% SOY HULLS.
Soy hulls are the co-product of milling soy meal, they have long been regarded internationally as an excellent source of fibre for horses because of there superior digestibility.
This superior digestibility is why Soy Hulls are also included in the 'Super Fibre' family of Fibres; alongside, Beet Pulp and Linseed Flake.
People sometimes confuse the nutrient profile of Soy Hulls with Soyabean Meal and think they have a similar nutrient content. However, Soyabean Meal is a highly concentrated quality protein meal used as an ingredient in many muscle & conditioning concentrates.
COOL FIBRE uses the Soy Hulls, which are the outer shell (or husk) of the soy beans & while the Soy Hulls have a moderate level of quality proteins and residual oil - they are valued in Equine Nutrition for the QUALITY FIBRE.

COOL FIBRE is an excellent Fibre Base that you can use as a great fibre mash to begin to build your Total Meal Ration.
Make sure you still include a 'Long Fibre' in your bucket, such as chaff or chaffage, to support peristalis in the digesta and to encourage your horse to chew and grind his meal to support additional saliva production.
Include any salt, cereals, supplements and minerals as you desire; or are advised by a Equine Health Professional.
Fibre is a super food for horses and essential to their health and well-being. Quality proteins are essential to provide the fuel to repair and maintain tissue, blood, bone, joints, hair & hoof and general health.
Storage of all equine feed is important to maintain the quality. Keep away from pests and rodents, store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Always provide clean drinking water to encourage water consumption.
