fiber cubes; fibre cubes
See e.g.:
'Gras-mix bestaat uit gedroogd gras, verrijkt met structuurbrok van groen geoogste snijhaver (de haverplant, niet de korrel, dus energiearm) en een smakelijke toevoeging van Molashine, een mengsel van melasse en lijnzaadolie.'
'Gras-mix is a blending of dehydrated grass enriched with fiber cubes plus Molashine, guaranteeing a product that hardly contains dust. Gras-mix is packed in a 90-litre recyclable plastic bag (approx. 18 kg), which protects the product against external influences.' (http://www.hartog-lucerne.co.uk/horse-feed/roughage-horses/g... )

I think that perhaps 'pellets' or 'horse nuts' might actually be more correct, rather than 'fibre cubes'. At least that's what my wife just told me, and she knows a lot more than I do about horses, donkeys, and animal feed.

'Mixes and Pellets
Many feed manufacturers combine various grains and add additional vitamin and mineral supplements to create a complete premixed feed that is easy for owners to feed and of predictable nutritional quality.[19] Some of these prepared feeds are manufactured in pelleted form, others retain the grains in their original form. In many cases molasses is used as a binder to keep down dust and for increased palatability.[7] Grain mixes with added molasses are usually called "sweet feed" in the United States and "coarse mix" in the United Kingdom. Pelleted or extruded feeds (sometimes referred to as "nuts" in the UK) may be easier to chew and result in less wasted feed. Horses generally eat pellets as easily as grain. However, pellets are also more expensive, and even "complete" rations do not eliminate the necessity for forage.[31]' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_nutrition )
There seem to be many different names for these...

: I think I'd go with the more general pellets (rather than fiber cubes, that is).

grass pellets
I think they might actually be grass pellets specifically. Although structuurblok sounds generic to me, it seems to refer to pressed grass.
