Fibre-Beet is a superb conditioning fibre feed. It is ideal if you are short of good quality hay or pasture, and can be fed at up to 1kg/100kg body weight. This means that for a 500kg horse you can feed up to 5kg of Fibre-Beet (dry weight) each day. As a short-term solution, if you have no hay or pasture available you can safely substitute all your horse’s fibre requirements with Fibre-Beet.

Naturally balanced for growing horses – Barastoc Low GI Cube is the ideal way to provide your horse with a low glycaemic, slow-release energy diet. Formulated with super fibres and lower starch levels along with KER Buffered Mineral Complex™ (BMC), this feed offers the ideal balance of nutrients not only for breeding horses but for performance horses too.
Depending upon the season, pasture and hay can be in short supply. Additionally, fibre sources can vary widely in their make-up. Bought in hay is only as good as the season’s cut and may be quite different bale to bale. By replacing a proportion with a standardised product of known quality, such as Fibre-Beet, a more even and stable fibre base can be achieved, helping to ensure your horse is getting the most out of the diet your feeding.

What makes Barastoc breeding feeds the
best for growth and development?
All feeds in the Barastoc breeding range are fortified using Kentucky equine's (KER) vitamin and mineral premix, which ensures optimal levels of bone building nutrients in every mouthful. Barastoc feeds include balanced levels of macro minerals including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and trace minerals such as copper, zinc, manganese, selenium and iodine.
Changing seasons can mean unreliability in the quality and quantity of fibre sources. Fibre-Beet is a safe conditioning, fibre mash that can be used as a fibre enhancer or to replace a fibre source (up to 60% of the daily forage allowance). 1kg of soaked Fibre-Beet can replace 1kg of hay.

What do you recommend for a lactating mare?
Mares in early lactation have large increases in energy requirements and may need significantly more feed than during pregnancy. Increased calories may be met with digestible fibre (Speedibeet or Fibre Beet), and up to 6kg of Barastoc Breed N Grow, or Barastoc Low GI Cube. Find out more about feeding your mare here: www.barastochorse.com.au/breeding-season
How can I support a pregnant mare?
Protein and mineral requirements increase in late pregnancy, particularly copper and zinc. The growing foal stores these trace minerals during late gestation for bone and cartilage development after they are born.

Winter rugging tips
🐴Rug to your horses temperature not yours; just because we are cold doesn't mean they are.
🐴Invest in a quality warm but lightweight and waterproof rug, alternatively you can rewaterproof your existing rugs
🐴If you are using a cotton rug under your winter rug, ensure they are washed regularly to reduce rubbing
🐴The most reliable place to check your horses' temperature is behind their wither; the ears and legs are not a reliable indicator
🐴Horses are better to be slightly cool than too warm, as they can use methods to warm themselves, but they cannot easily cool themselves.
CONGRATULATIONS to our week two winner – Alicia Frankenburg for naming our gorgeous filly “Cassiopeia” which is a constellation that means the queen.

In early spring, grass and constantly gazed pasture in growth. Nutritionally this means that it is going to be considerably high in sugars that are readily digestible.

While forages such as pasture, hay and chaff are well-known sources of fibre, other feedstuffs are considered “super fibres” because they have energy levels much higher than typical forages. Common super fibres including soy bean hulls and beet pulp. The energy levels in super fibres are similar to those found in grains such as oats and barley. Super fibres are, however, safer to feed than cereal grains because they provide cool, slow-release energy, and their fibrous nature reduces the likelihood of grain overload.

How can you support a pregnant mare? Protein and mineral requirements increase in late pregnancy, particularly copper and zinc. The growing foal stores these trace minerals during late gestation for bone and cartilage development once they are born. This is because mare’s milk is quite low in these vital elements. Barastoc’s range of breeding feeds are fortified with quality protein and trace minerals to support the development of a healthy foal.
