HNF Fiber® is a high energy forage fibre feed for horses developed by Fiber Fresh Feeds Ltd, the world leader in advanced fibre nutrition.
HNF Fiber® is a highly nutritious moist lucerne (alfalfa) feed, manufactured under the unique and proprietary process of Controlled Fermentation. Natural and highly digestible - HNF Fiber® has been specifically developed to suit the mono-gastric digestion of horses. This advanced natural fibre is grown in New Zealand for unsurpassed quality and consistency, and is processed fresh and vacuum-packed to seal in and preserve all its considerable nutritional value.
The advent of HNF Fiber® is a significant development as forages with high digestible energy previously represented a nutritional paradox. Forage fibre was generally included in animal diets only for its roughage value.
Scientific research, through Massey University in New Zealand, has now shown that HNF Fiber® provides important advantages for horses. It improves their hydration and contributes significantly to their energy needs by providing high levels of slow release energy, which is critical for sustained performance. It also improves recovery of the horse after exercise, enhances their digestion, and helps correct any digestive discomfort associated with high grain diets.
HNF Fiber® is contained in all Fiber Fresh equine feeds - FiberStart®, FiberEzy®, FiberMix® and FiberSure®.

High nutritional fibre also provides major advantages in calf rearing – providing better rumen development and enabling calves’ transition to grass faster after weaning, and minimizing the weaning growth check.
