Pro Gut Balancer is a complementary feed designed to support digestive health as part of a balanced diet.
A unique, triple action combination of pre and probiotics, together with a mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) to help maintain a healthy gut microbiome during times of digestive challenge.
Helps to promote optimum fibre digestion (typically 60-70% of the horse’s daily energy requirement come from fibre digestion).
Promotes microbial synthesis of vital B vitamins and vitamin K.
Helps to maintain a healthy gut pH.
Helps to support a healthy immune system
Particularly helpful to re-establish a healthy gut microbiota following illness or injury.
Vital support for horses travelling nationally and internationally to stay away shows.
Also suitable for horses changing yards, including broodmares going away to stud, or youngstock as they come in for sales or work preparation.
On a palatable linseed base, easily mixed in feed.
BETA NOPS and UFAS accredited, ensuring our products are fully compliant with The Rules of Racing and the FEI Guidelines for Clean Sport
Modern horses and ponies are subjected to many stresses and challenges – including moving yards to new management and forage sources, strenuous training and competition programmes, national and international travel to stay-away shows, and high starch diets to provide energy. This disruption can adversely affect performance in many ways, ranging from a subtle decrease in energy production or a reduction in immunity, through to a decrease in gut pH and metabolic and immune system disruption, but certainly to a significant decrease in health, wellbeing and performance.
Pro-Gut Balancer is a unique combination of pre and probiotics, together with a mannan oligosaccharide (MOS), to help maintain the health of the microbial population in the light of the many challenges faced by modern horses and ponies.
Benefits of Pro Gut Balancer
Pro-Gut Balancer provides a unique triple action approach to maintaining gut health:
Probiotics (from the Greek “for life”) Pro Gut Balancer contains the only live yeast licensed for use in horses, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with the highest number of live colony forming units (cfu) per serve. This live yeast plays several vital roles:
Helping fibre digestion, by using their hyphae to help pull the fibre particle apart. This enables the fibre digesting bacteria to colonize and digest the fibre more readily, producing volatile fatty acids (VFA’s) which are a vital energy source for the horse.
Scavenging pockets of oxygen in the gut, which would otherwise be toxic to many of the beneficial microbes.
Outcompeting the lactic acid producing microbes, and encouraging the growth of those which can use lactic acid, thus helping to reduce the likelihood of a drop in hindgut pH which can disrupt the delicate balance in the microbiome.
Prebiotics are typically fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), usually obtained from sugarbeet, but are also naturally found in a number of vegetables of fruits such as chicory, onions, asparagus roots, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, leeks and bananas.
Unlike most carbohydrates, these FOS’s are largely unaffected by stomach acid, and other digestive enzymes, but instead, they are selectively fermented by many of the beneficial bacteria in the hindgut. In other words, they act as a food source for, and selectively encourage the growth and activity of the beneficial intestinal bacteria which are associated with health and well-being.
Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS): Is obtained from the cell walls of yeasts, and contains beta glucans as well as mannans, acting as a prebiotic.
Pro-Gut Balancer should be fed for 7-10 days before, during and for 7-10 days after any stressful activity that might adversely impact the microbiome such as long distance travelling, moving yards, broodmares going away to stud, youngstock starting sales prep, or after illness or injury.
Elite competition and racehorses, with ongoing strenuous training and competition programmes may benefit from longer term daily use.
