A horse is born
with very little bacteria in its intestines. It obtains a variety of
these from its dam during nursing and from its environment. A healthy
bacteria population...essential to proper digestion...builds in the
gastro intestinal tract over time and becomes part of the normal
digestive process.
Horses on pasture graze 14 - 18 hours a day, getting constant exercise with minimal stress.
- Constant chewing produces natural buffers (bicarbonates) to neutralize stomach acid, ensuring normal digestion.
The
horse's stomach produces gastric acid and pepsin, necessary for
digestion, 24 hours a day; and the stomach empties in approximately 20
minutes.
Consumes and produces digestive enzymes which promote healthy gut bacteria.
Maintains consistent gut fill, digestion, hind gut fermentation and nutrient
absorption.
Race, Performance and Show Horses
are
stalled, stressed, given severe and/or inconsistent exercise,
trailered, fed high grain diets and lowered amounts of hay or pasture,
wormed and treated with antibiotics.
In altering a horse's lifestyle we compromise its natural digestive bacteria and process.
Equine Choice probiotics restore and replenish digestive enzymes and bacteria, returning the horse to its healthy digestive process...naturally!
Equine Choiceprobiotics are a source of live, protected and reproducible yeast
cultures, plant digest, live enzymes and healthy bacteria which create
and support a balanced and healthy digestive process.
Equine Choiceensures absorption of starches, proteins, minerals and nutrients in the
stomach and small intestine. 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 a part of your regular feeding management you can be assured...
