- Low in starch
- High in fibre
- Quality protein ingredients
- Organic minerals
- Natural Vitamin E
- Live yeast
- Mannan oligosaccharide and aluminosilicate clay
The low starch and quality fibre ingredients used in Dunstan Fibre Grow® (Lucerne Chaff, Soya Hulls and Meadow Hay) serve two key purposes. Firstly, to benefit the sound growth of the young horse and secondly to aid the digestive health of all horses. A low-starch feed will assist to minimise the negative effect of insulin on joint and cartilage development. In addition, the low-starch and high-fibre composition of Dunstan Fibre Grow® will help to ensure good hindgut microflora activity and reduce the likelihood of digestive upsets associated with high-starch or low-fibre diets.
A comprehensive mineral and vitamin supplement are added to Dunstan Fibre Grow®. Minerals are included in their Organic form including Selenium from Selenium Yeast, and therefore are safer and more bio-available to the horse, for optimum utilisation. A balanced inclusion of Calcium and Phosphorus are also included at levels to promote sound bone & joint development.
As well as providing a quality high-fibre inclusion in Dunstan Fibre Grow® for hindgut health, the addition of the live yeast further aids digestion and will assist in maintaining a more optimal hindgut Ph.
Quality protein ingredients are used to ensure good amino acid status which is of key importance in all breeding horses.
Dunstan Fibre Grow® includes Mannan Oligosaccharide and Aluminosilicate Clay to aid in digestive comfort.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.



The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
