Cool Fibre Original


MADE FROM 100% SOY HULLS

This superior digestibility is why Soy Hulls are also included in the 'Super Fibre' family of Fibres; alongside, Beet Pulp and Linseed Flake.


​People sometimes confuse the nutrient profile of Soy Hulls with Soyabean Meal and think they have a similar nutrient content. However, Soyabean Meal is a highly concentrated quality protein meal used as an ingredient in many muscle & conditioning concentrates.


COOL FIBRE uses the Soy Hulls, which are the outer shell (or husk) of the soybeans & while the Soy Hulls have a moderate level of quality proteins and residual oil - they are valued in Equine Nutrition for the QUALITY FIBRE.


  • Highly Digestible
  • Excellent Source of Quality Proteins
  • Fast Soaking For a Palatable Wet Mash
  • Assists in Encouraging Improved Water Consumption
  • Low GI
  • Low Non-Structural Carbohydrates (NSC)
  • Cool Energy
  • Super Fibre & Prebiotic for Optimum Hind Gut Health

COOL FIBRE is an excellent Fibre Base that you can use as a great fibre mash to begin to build your Total Meal Ration.


Note: While COOL FIBRE is suitable for horses with Metabolic Disorders, such as Laminitis and Cushing’s,  each horse or pony should be managed on a case by case basis and only after a professional consultation.
