Nuba ProFibre Mix - low-starch, high-fiber supplement

Nuba ProFibre Mix is ​​a high-fiber , low-starch supplement to horse nutrition designed for all utility and breeding groups. Its unique features make it safe for horses with laminitis, ulcers and metabolic disorders. The sum of starches and simple sugars ESC below 10%.

The product is a great alternative to beet pulp, and can be used without soaking. It is characterized by a relatively low protein content, a comparable amount of energy to beet pulp, low sugar and fat content. For this reason, it is also recommended for horses whose diet provides too little hay .

The main ingredient is dried apple pomace, which is a source of good quality digestible fiber, so important in the diet of horses. A characteristic feature of apple pomace is its low protein and starch content . This pomace has a potentially positive effect on the stomach . The pectins contained in it create a gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. In addition, they contain malic acid, which supports metabolism, has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and stimulates the natural production of saliva , which has buffering properties for stomach acids. In addition, they contain a large amount of polyphenols with antioxidant effects , which is why they are considered a valuable source of nutrients and provide health benefits.

Although they are considered a high-sugar product, the amount of simple sugars in pomace is lower than in fresh apples. It depends on the type of apple, the degree of ripeness, and the method of pressing, but is usually similar to the amount of simple sugars in beet pulp, which is considered low-sugar.

The second important ingredient is soy husk, which provides highly digestible fiber. They are digested mainly in the caecum and contain small amounts of sugars and starch , so their use in the diet of horses does not pose a significant risk of colic and laminitis. Soy husks are low-energy  and, like the aforementioned apple pomace, rich in pectins .

Nuba ProFibre Mix has a balanced calcium to phosphorus ratio (Ca:P). The mixture is exceptionally tasty and is eagerly eaten by horses.

The composition was created for horses that need a low-starch, low-fat supplement in their diet. It will be an ideal choice for ponies and horses with ulcers, as well as for older horses.
It can be used for periodic use as a source of additional slow-release energy.
