Cavalor Strucomash Beet

Cavalor Strucomash Beet is a high-fibre mash for good intestinal function. It contains easily digestible sources of fibre, such as Timothy hay, alfafa and 30% beet pulp flakes, which have a beneficial effect on gut function. The mash is easy to chew and digest, making it suitable for horses that are older or have dental problems, or as a warm treat on cold winter days.

HOW TO USE

For good nutrition, your horse needs roughage (spread out over several times a day) and a constant supply of fresh drinking water. This foundation can be supplemented with a balancer or concentrate feed as needed. And fine-tune your horse’s diet with supplements #feedasyouneed

Beet flakes
Beet pulp is a source of dietary fibre, and has many positive qualities. During production, the beets are processed to extract the sugar, so the remaining pulp is low in sugar. It does still contain pectins, which are beneficial to intestinal health. Beet pulp is low in protein, so it can be combined with alfafa, for example. Beet pulp is also a good source of dietary fibre, giving the horse a gradual release of energy and helping the horse feel satiated. It is crucially important to soak beet pulp thoroughly in water. Undissolved beet pulp can cause oesphagal obstruction or colic.

No oats
Oats are a cereal that can be used as an energy source in a muesli for competition horses. It quickly releases lots of energy. This is not needed for recreational horses, or for horses who do not need high energy levels.

Easy to chew
Soaking the mash helps soften the ingredients, making them easy to chew.

With extra fiber
Adding long fibre means that the horse has to chew for longer and increases saliva production. Saliva is not the only benefit of chewing longer. It also causes natural tooth wear, alleviates boredom and ensures that the feed is consumed more slowly. Long fibres also promote intestinal motility, which improves digestion.
