Default Help please, something to replace equibix?
Sadly for my horse and I equibix is being discontinued, I liked it cos it was highly digestible fibre source n seemed to pack on the weight and my horse didnt heat up on it. I need a replacement!

Basically I need to non heating fattener for her feed. She gets oaten chaff and gumnuts n grass hay currently.

Try mitavite Xtra Cool. Seems to work quIte well as a replacement, I changed over some time ago as Ridleys were too hit and miss wilth supply and quality.

Speedi-Beet.

It is a high energy roughage substitute!
