Fiber - Feed Ingredient

Fiber in equine nutrition refers to the indigestible or partially digestible components of plant-based feedstuffs, primarily composed of structural carbohydrates such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. These components are resistant to enzymatic digestion in the foregut but are fermented by microbial populations in the horse’s hindgut (cecum and colon). Fiber is a critical dietary component for horses, a species adapted to continuous intake of forage-based, fibrous material.

Sources of fiber in equine feeds include forage (hay, pasture), fibrous byproducts (beet pulp, soybean hulls), and various grains and seed hulls (e.g., oat hulls, rice bran). Fiber is often measured using analytical values such as Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), and crude fiber content. These measures provide insight into digestibility and the energy value of the fiber source.

Adequate fiber intake is essential for maintaining gut motility, supporting microbial health, and reducing the risk of digestive disorders such as colic and gastric ulcers.

The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Fiber as an ingredient.
