Hygain Micrbeet is high in soluble fibre and low in sugar, suitable for all equines regardless of age and use.

As a supplemental fibre source when fed with premixed feeds and hay*
HYGAIN MICRBEET can be fed as an addition to your horse’s premixed feed/grains and roughage. HYGAIN MICRBEET can also be used as a top dressing to encourage the intake of less palatable feeds.

Grazing should be restricted and the soaking of hay is recommended for equines prone to starch/sugar related conditions (e.g.: laminitis, grain intolerance, cushings etc.). HYGAIN MICRBEET may also be used in conjunction with HYGAIN ZERO the unique low Carb – low GI formula providing the required balance of daily nutrients in the diet.

Fat – HYGAIN recommends the use of HYGAIN RBO Equine Performance Oil in cases such as PSSM or Tying-Up where horses may benefit from additional fat in their diet for concentrated slow release energy and general conditioning.

Electrolytes – During periods of heavy sweat loss and/or warmer climates supplementation with an electrolyte such as HYGAIN REGAIN is recommended.
