SPILLERS® introduce new Senior Fibre

SPILLERS® know that older horses and ponies deserve extra special care and attention so they have added a brand new blend to their range of complementary fibres, especially for them. SPILLERS® Senior Fibre supplies oldies with the extra nutritional support they need to help them stay healthy in their twilight years.

SPILLERS® Senior Fibre is a unique balanced blend of natural fibres to complement senior feeds. It contains short chopped alfalfa and straw, carefully chosen for its consistent nutritional quality, together with mint, garlic and soya oil.

Older horses may have stiffer joints, be less effective at digesting certain nutrients and they may have compromised immunity. That’s why SPILLERS® Senior Fibre contains glucosamine to help support joint function, live yeast to support fibre digestion and maintain gut health and vitamin E and selenium to help support the immune system. Quality protein helps to maintain topline and muscle tone and a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals provides more nutrition than any other chopped fibre blend.

The short chop and soft texture of SPILLERS® Senior Fibre makes it easier on the mouth for older horses who have worn or fewer teeth and are struggling to chew and grind properly. It can be combined with a mix or cube or fed as a replacement for compound feed.

Clare Barfoot BSc (Hons) RNutr, registered nutritionist and Research and Development Manager for SPILLERS® who developed new SPILLERS® Senior Fibre said: “Horses and ponies are living longer and longer and many continue to lead active lives well into their 20s and 30s. This is in no small part down to improved nutritional support. Adding a purpose-designed fibre to your senior feed can help support overall health, condition and general wellbeing.”

New SPILLERS® Senior Fibre is available from your local SPILLERS® stockist.
