Gastro Beet crumbles are the smart clean choice for our New Zealand horses. A guaranteed low-iron, beet plant fiber with lower potassium levels than most grass or hay, and 75% less iron than other beet products. This is a long-term feeding solution. Gastro Beet is particularly well suited for horses grazing iron-rich pastures, with metabolic concerns, and requiring carefully controlled trace mineral intake.
Gastrointestinal Support in working horses. When soaked, the Gastro Beet crumbles develop a soft, gel-like texture driven by naturally higher pectin levels. This soluble fibre is known to help support the stomach environment by forming a gentle coating effect over the gastric lining, contributing to digestive comfort and helping maintain normal gut function.
Crumbles are unique, allowing for uniform blending and consistency in every feed.
High Digestible Fiber
Gastro Beet crumble is a highly digestible fiber providing fermentable energy for the hindgut without spiking blood sugar.
