• Horses are herbivores with a unique digestive system that has adapted to efficiently process fibrous plant materials. 
• A high-fibre feed, along with an ad-lib supply of fibrous forage, mimics their natural feeding behaviour.

Their large cecum, which is part of the hindgut, acts as a fermentation vat where fibrous feedstuffs are broken down to allow horses to efficiently extract energy and nutrients.

• The fermentation of fibrous materials in the cecum produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which serve as an energy source for the horse and help maintain a healthy pH level in the hindgut.
• Fibrous materials require more chewing and promote increased saliva production, which aids in a slower, more efficient digestive process and can help reduce the risk of dental issues and stomach ulcers.
