Vitamin and mineral ratios
Not only are the exact levels of vitamins, minerals and trace elements important for a healthy diet, the ratios between these nutrients are just as important.

All Vitalbix products contain a carefully calculated ratio of nutrients to ensure optimal absorption.

Hippo Expo 2026

Hippo Expo Flanders is preparing to welcome thousands of enthusiastic visitors again on 28 and 29 March 2026.

On 17 and 18 May, the very first edition of Hippo Expo took place at Antwerp Expo – and it was an intense experience. Hippo Expo welcomed thousands of visitors, who immersed themselves in a world full of equestrian passion, innovative products and inspiring encounters.

A big thank you to everyone who made this possible! From the exhibitors to the volunteers, and of course every visitor: your dedication, enthusiasm and positive vibe made for a successful exhibition weekend.

The exhibitors were unanimous: the quality of the Hippo Expo target group is exceptional. They encountered a curious, open and critical audience that was purposefully looking for specific products or services. Many exhibitors said they had never sold so much in a single weekend – and gathered so many valuable leads.

The next edition will take place on 28 and 29 March 2026 at Waregem Expo.

Vitalbix Fiber-Mix 14 kg

Vitalbix Fiber Mix

Vitalbix Fiber Mix is a unique roughage mix of healthy grasses with a low sugar content and timothy structure pellets, supplemented with 3% linseed oil.

Vitalbix Fiber-Mix is optimally digestible, stimulates saliva production, and supports healthy digestion. Mix Vitalbix Fiber-Mix with other Vitalbix products to stimulate chewing. Supplement the roughage with Vitalbix Fiber-Mix for horses that could use a little extra, or partially replace the roughage with Vitalbix Fiber-Mix.

Due to its soft and shorter structure, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix is also easily digestible for horses with poor teeth. Vitalbix Fiber-Mix contains no added vitamins & minerals and no alfalfa.

Mix of fiber-rich grasses – low sugar content

  • Mix of fiber-rich grasses – low sugar content
  • Stimulates chewing & saliva production
  • Supports healthy stomach and intestinal flora
  • With 3% linseed oil – rich in omega-3 fatty acids

Did you know?

Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ stimulates saliva production and helps keep your horse’s stomach and intestines healthy.

FAQ:

What is the difference between Vitalbix Pure Lucerne and Vitalbix Fiber-Mix?

Vitalbix Pure Lucerne and Vitalbix Fiber-Mix are both “roughage products.”

You feed them as a supplement to, for example, Vitalbix Daily Complete, Vitalbix Active+ muesli, or Vitalbix Breed & Grow.

What are the similarities between the two products?

They are both rich in fiber.

They stimulate chewing and saliva production

They support digestion

They have a low starch and sugar content

They contain 3% linseed oil

You can mix them both with the other Vitalbix products to encourage slower eating and better chewing OR you can feed them separately in a feed bucket

What are the differences between the two products?

Vitalbix Fiber-Mix does not contain alfalfa

The protein content of Vitalbix Fiber-Mix is lower

The structure of Vitalbix Fiber-Mix is shorter and softer

You can feed more Vitalbix Fiber-Mix per day

Do you want to support your horse’s muscle development in addition to feeding extra fiber?

Then Vitalbix Pure Lucerne is the best choice. Alfalfa has a higher protein content, is extra rich in amino acids, and supports good muscle development. This is useful, for example, for sport horses that are lagging behind in muscle development, young and older horses, and when your hay/haylage has a low protein content.

Does your horse have poor teeth?

Then Vitalbix Fiber-Mix is the best choice. Its softer structure and shorter fibers make this product easier for horses with poor teeth to chew and digest.

Does your horse have sensitive intestines?

Then Vitalbix Fiber-mix may be a better choice. Vitalbix Pure Lucerne is slightly coarser and can be a little too “sharp” on the intestines of some horses with sensitive intestinal flora. Vitalbix Fiber-Mix has a softer structure.

How much should you feed?

You can feed more Vitalbix Fiber-Mix per day than Vitalbix Pure Lucerne. Do you want to partially replace the roughage (hay/haylage)? You can feed a maximum of 2 kg of alfalfa per day (for a horse weighing approx. 500 kg). This is due to the calcium-phosphorus ratio of alfalfa and its protein content. You can feed up to 6 kg of Fiber-Mix per day. Fiber-Mix is therefore most suitable as a partial roughage replacement.

Does it make sense to feed both products?

It can be very useful to feed a combination of Vitalbix Pure Lucerne and Vitalbix Fiber-Mix. If you have multiple goals, such as building muscle and partially replacing roughage, then it is fine to combine the two!

Request free, customized nutritional advice here.

My horse cannot have too much sugar. Is Vitalbix Fiber-Mix a healthy choice?

Yes, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix contains no added sugars and has a sugar content of only 5%. This is significantly lower than average hay (which contains an average of 10-14% sugar). Like the other Vitalbix products, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ is a responsible choice for horses that need a diet low in starch and sugars, for example due to laminitis or PPID.

My horse has a sensitive stomach. Is Vitalbix Fiber-Mix suitable?

Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ stimulates chewing and saliva production and supports healthy digestion. By stimulating saliva production and buffering the pH in the stomach, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ can help keep the stomach healthy. Thanks to its shorter structure and soft fibers, Vitalbix Fiber Mix is optimally digestible.

Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ is suitable for all horses.

Tip: sufficient roughage (hay and grass) spread throughout the day and night is important to keep your horse’s digestive system healthy. Make sure your horse does not go without roughage for more than 4-6 hours. In case of stomach ulcers, no longer than 2 hours.

Products with a high starch and sugar content (> 15%) can have a negative effect on the pH in the stomach (lowering the pH in the stomach). For horses with a sensitive stomach, therefore, it is preferable to choose feed with a starch and sugar content of < 15%. All Vitalbix products are high in fiber and low in starch and sugar, making them a healthy choice.

Can I feed Vitalbix Fiber-Mix to my overweight horse?

Yes, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix is a healthy supplement with a low sugar content.

Is your horse overweight? Then preferably do not feed more than 100-300 grams of Vitalbix Fiber-Mix per day. “Every pound goes through the mouth.”

It is also very important to feed overweight horses sufficient vitamins and minerals. Mix the Daily Complete pellets with 100-300 grams of Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ for extra fiber to stimulate chewing. This prevents esophageal obstruction in horses that eat quickly.

Do not give extras such as carrots, apples, or products rich in starch and sugars. If you can choose a lower-quality type of hay, this is recommended.

The basis of a healthy weight is and remains good quality roughage. If your horse is overweight, it is probably consuming too much/too rich roughage. To help your horse lose weight, it is important to limit the amount of roughage, increase exercise, and avoid giving extras. The frequency of roughage is also important for an overweight horse; make sure your horse never goes without roughage for more than 4-6 hours. In addition, it is important that your horse does not lose weight too quickly.

Nutritional advice:

– Limit the amount of roughage, or choose a lower-calorie type of roughage

– Supplement the roughage with Vitalbix Daily Complete for the necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids

– Mix with 100-300 grams of Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ or Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ for extra fiber

My horse is too thin. Can I supplement its roughage with Vitalbix Fiber-Mix?

Yes, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix is a healthy supplement to roughage for horses that are too thin.

Roughage such as hay and grass is the basis of a healthy weight. Preferably, ensure that your horse has unlimited access to roughage and avoid periods without roughage. In many cases, the cause of underweight is insufficient roughage. Is it not possible to give more roughage at your stable? Then you can supplement the roughage with 2-6 kg of Vitalbix Fiber-Mix per day.

Does your horse get unlimited good-quality roughage and still not gain weight? Then have your horse examined by a veterinarian to rule out health problems such as worm infestation, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, limited intestinal function, a fungus in the intestines, or limited liver or kidney function, etc.

Too much starch and sugar in the diet can disrupt your horse’s intestinal flora. This reduces the absorption of nutrients from the feed. In this case, adjusting the diet can lead to improvement. Limit feed with a high starch and sugar content, such as regular pellets and muesli. Combine various Vitalbix products for optimal results:

  • Vitalbix Daily Complete, Vitalbix Active+, or Vitalbix Breed & Grow for the necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids
  • Vitalbix NutriMash for prebiotic fibers, extra calories, and extra B vitamins
  • Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ or Pure Lucerne+ for extra fibers, calories, and proteins
  • Vitalbix Linseed Oil as a source of extra calories (increase the amount gradually)

Is Vitalbix Fiber-Mix suitable for my older horse?

Yes, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ is a healthy supplement to roughage for older horses. Is your horse having trouble digesting hay? Then you can replace some or all of the hay with Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+. Thanks to its short and soft structure, even horses with poor teeth can digest Vitalbix Fiber-Mix+ well.

Can I also feed Vitalbix Fiber-Mix to my foal?

Yes, Vitalbix Fiber-Mix contains short & soft fibers that are easy to digest, making this product suitable for young horses.

To provide your foal with the necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, feed it Vitalbix Breed & Grow every day. You can supplement this with Vitalbix Fiber-Mix.

Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ 14 kg

Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+

Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ is a high-quality pure alfalfa with 3% linseed oil, without molasses or other additives. It contains both the coarser alfalfa stems and the finer, nutrient-rich alfalfa leaves. Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ stimulates chewing and saliva production and supports healthy digestion.

Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ has a relatively high protein content with high-quality amino acids that are easily absorbed by the body. These amino acids are essential for many processes in the body and are important for building and maintaining muscle mass, a strong immune system, healthy skin, and strong hooves.

Pure alfalfa without added sugars

  • Rich in fiber – stimulates saliva production
  • Supports healthy digestion
  • Healthy supplement for horses with sensitive stomachs
  • Rich in amino acids – for good muscle development
  • With 3% linseed oil

FAQ Vitalbix:

My horse has a sensitive stomach. Is Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ suitable?

Sufficient roughage (hay and grass) spread throughout the day and night is important for keeping your horse’s digestive system healthy. Make sure your horse does not go without roughage for longer than 4-6 hours. In case of stomach ulcers, no longer than 2 hours.

Products with a high starch and sugar content (> 15%) can have a negative effect on the pH in the stomach (lowering the pH in the stomach). For horses with a sensitive stomach, it is therefore preferable to choose feed with a starch and sugar content of < 15%.

All Vitalbix products are high in fiber and low in starch and sugar.

Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ stimulates chewing and saliva production and supports healthy digestion. By stimulating saliva production and buffering the pH in the stomach, Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ can help keep the stomach healthy.

We recommend Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ for horses aged 1 year and older. In young foals, alfalfa may have a negative effect on the stomach due to the size of the fibers. For horses up to 1 year old, choose alfalfa pellets instead of loose alfalfa.

My horse is too thin. Is Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ a good supplement?

Roughage is the basis for a healthy weight. Make sure your horse has unlimited access to roughage and avoid periods without roughage. In many cases, the cause of underweight is insufficient roughage.

Does your horse have unlimited access to good quality roughage and is it still not gaining weight? Have your horse examined by a veterinarian to rule out health problems such as worm infestation, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, limited intestinal function, a fungus in the intestines, or limited liver or kidney function, etc.

Too much starch and sugar in the diet can disrupt your horse’s intestinal flora. This reduces the absorption of nutrients from the feed. In this case, adjusting the diet can lead to improvement. Limit feed with a high starch and sugar content, such as regular pellets and muesli. Combine various Vitalbix products for optimal results:

The frequency of roughage is also important for an overweight horse; make sure your horse never goes without roughage for more than 4-6 hours. In addition, it is important that your horse does not lose weight too quickly. Preferably choose a balancer to provide your horse with the necessary nutrients, such as Vitalbix Daily Complete, and mix with 100-300 grams of Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ for extra fiber to stimulate chewing. Do not give extras such as carrots, apples, or products rich in starch and sugars. If you can choose a lower-quality type of hay, this is recommended.

    • Vitalbix Daily Complete for the necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids

    • Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ for extra fiber

Can I feed too much protein?

The protein requirement for horses is expressed in VREp (digestible crude protein for horses). The protein requirement varies per breed and per horse and depends, among other things, on the amount of exercise. The protein requirement increases with heavier work. Young, growing horses, stud horses, and pregnant mares have a higher protein requirement. Since individual requirements vary per horse, it is important to keep a close eye on your horse’s condition and musculature. If your horse is lagging behind in musculature, its diet may contain too little protein.

Your horse’s diet may also contain too much protein. An excess of protein in the diet puts strain on the kidneys, among other things. You may notice this because your horse urinates a lot or more than normal.

How can I prevent an imbalanced calcium/phosphorus ratio in the feed?

Alfalfa contains more calcium than phosphorus, 16 grams to 3 grams per kg of alfalfa, a ratio of 5.3/1.

If you feed 2 to 3 kg of Vitalbix Pure Lucerne per day (for a horse weighing 500 to 600 kg), you do not need to add any extra phosphorus-rich products (such as linseed or wheat bran) to the diet, provided that the hay also contains relatively high levels of calcium and low levels of phosphorus. We recommend supplementing the diet with phosphorus-rich products or a phosphorus supplement if you feed more than 3 kg of Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ per day. Would you like to know how to do this? Feel free to ask us for advice by emailing info@vitalbix.com.

Can I also feed Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ to my foal?

We recommend feeding Vitalbix Pure Lucerne+ to horses aged 1 year and older. In young foals, the stomach (wall) is still developing and alfalfa may be too “sharp” for the stomach due to the size of the fibers. For horses up to 1 year old, choose alfalfa pellets instead of loose alfalfa.
