Digestive Aid Supplement
Why Use Equine Choice Probiotics?
Naturally horses are grazing animals. Their entire digestive system is designed to be eating about 18 – 24 hours a day. They have a very small stomach that contains digestive acids. Having evolved with a continual gut fill the stomach empties its contents into the digestive tract every 20 minutes. Grass, hay and forage act as a natural sponge for these acids preventing them from damaging the stomach lining and rest of the digestive tract. Also the constant chewing produces natural buffers (bicarbonates) to neutralize the stomach acid, ensuring normal digestion.
However, when we use these animals for athletics or work, we greatly alter the timing and content of the feed that enters their stomach. In order to supply the athlete with the energy to perform high energy feeds are fed in great quantities. This reduces the forage available to soak up the acids and oftentimes the total amount of the high energy feeds is greater than the acids can handle. Top this up with restricting diet intake times and we have a situation that has the potential to cause digestive upset.
Basically, in altering a horse’s lifestyle we compromise its natural digestive bacteria and process.
Equine Choice Pre and Pro Biotics restore and replenish digestive enzymes and bacteria, returning the horse to its healthy digestive process…naturally! Equine Choice also has gut healing amino acids, B-Vitamins and strong PreBiotics for natural digestive healing and health.
strive for balance and get it!
Equine Choice probiotics are a source of live, protected and reproducible yeast, plant digest, live enzymes and healthy bacteria which create and support a balanced and healthy digestive process. Equine Choice has enzymes that aid in absorption of starches, proteins, minerals and nutrients in the small intestine. Research has shown that these important nutrients are predominately absorbed here. It further ensures consistent PH in the hind gut, the cecum, and large and small colon for fermentation of fibre and roughage ingredients, and re-absorption of water.
It’s a complex route, but with Equine Choice as part of your regular feeding management you can be assured…
Appetite INCREASES!
Healthy Bacteria INCREASES!
Protein Utilization INCREASES!
Starch Utilization INCREASES!
Fibre Digestion INCREASES!
Performance IMPROVES!
