Just put on one of my sites that I feed fast fibre for a barefoot diet and got this reply which is very disturbing!
I am not a fan of fast fibre. Top ingredient is nutritionally improved straw - which means it has been soaked in sodium hydroxide to break down the structural fibre and increase its digestibility. Sodium hydroxide is otherwise known as caustic soda. It is principally used in the paper making industry, manufacturing of soaps, detergents and as a drain cleaner. It is the most common ingredient in oven cleaners. Why would we want to feed that to our horses ?
