Pavo SeniorFibre Easy-to-eat roughage mix -12Kg
Fibres are the most important nutrient for a horse to take in. Without fibres horses cannot survive. For that reasons it is extremely important to provide fibres to your horse, also when they are not able to consume the normal fibre sources like hay or silage. Pavo SeniorFibre enables these horses, who (temporally) cannot eat roughage (fibres), to still take in the most essential nutrient and remain in a good condition.
Fibres. Essential for life
Horses with a decreased dental function are not capable of consuming long fibres (>3cm). All the fibres in Pavo SeniorFibre have a maximum length of three centimetres and therefore considered as short fibres. Additionally, the stems of the fibres are soft and therefore are not likely to create damage in the digestive tract. In contrast to many other roughage replacers Pavo SeniorFibre does not contain alfalfa.
Muscle power!
Older and weakened horses are likely to loose muscle mass at some point. As Pavo SeniorFibre is not only high in protein, but also contain a specially designed amino-acid pellet, it optimally supports the preservation of muscle mass and function. The amino-acid pallet contains several amino- acids that are important for healthy muscle metabolism and therefore could slow down the process of muscle break-down.
For every horse
Pavo SeniorFibre contains no grains nor molasses. Additionally the sugar & starch level is very low. As a result Pavo SeniorFibre is also suitable for horses that suffer from metabolic problems, like PPID, PSSM or laminitis, or horses that benefit from a grainfree diet.
