The peppermint in Gut Plus makes it enticing for good-doers and poor-doers. What are the benefits of a gut balancer? This formula supports a healthy gastric environment, the natural anti-inflammatory processes and balanced pH levels, as well as soothing the stomach walls. Ideal for competition and performance horses, this daily supplement is designed to target digestion from the point of ingestion, then promote correct function and gut integrity from foregut to hindgut, giving your horse a happy, healthy tummy. This supplement is a blend of garlic, seaweed, herbs, oil, salt and vitamins, suitable for all horses, which delivers all of the age old benefits of these natural ingredients. It provides your horse with a range of herbs and vitamins to help utilise nutrition, aid digestion, soothe the gut and boost the immune system. Ott E.

In: Nutritional Biotechnology in the Feed and Food Industries, Proceedings of Alltech’s 21” Annual Symposium (T.P Lyons and K.A. Jacques, eds). Nottingham University Press, UK, pp. 447–454.Free From Prohibited Substances, BETA NOPS Accreditation, FEI Clean Sport Compliant, Safe for Lactation, Safe for Pregnancy, Safe for Horses & Ponies with Metabolic Conditions This supplement features a unique blend of a pre- and probiotic making it ideal for horses prone to stress or upset due to dietary change, or any who may need extra support. Available in a 100% compostable pouch. I added the suggested amount of gut balancer to his feed and hoped it would work, need i have worried? Absolutely not! So far this spring, I have yet to find a loose dropping in the field, stable or while working., meaning his guts are working properly and he is happy inside. After the initial loading dose, i reduced the amount to the everyday rate (1 scoop) and it has been amazing.

Acid Buff – provides a slow-release form of one of the key nutrients, calcium carbonate which has an acid buffering action superior to normal calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate MOS & Beta-glucans MOS and Beta-glucans are prebiotics, which means they create beneficial effects for resident microbes within the digestive tract. MOS is a large molecule which binds toxins produced by “bad” bacteria. Beta-glucans are able to interact with the immune system found in the digestive tract and stimulate it to improve its defence mechanisms. Research has been performed on these ingredients in the production animal sector as follows:

This supplement targets both the fore and hindgut, supporting the gastric environment and helping to maintain an optimum pH level. Horses rely heavily on fermentation by a number of different species of bacteria to digest plant material in the large intestine. Changes in diet, stress and exercise can lead to imbalances between the different species of bacteria, which in turn can upset the environment in the hindgut and cause overgrowth of bad bacteria. Fungal toxins (mycotoxins) which are common feed contaminants, but difficult or impossible to detect without laboratory testing, can lead to growth impairment, poor condition, poor health and poor performance. Zeolite – can absorb undesirable substances and reduce the damaging effects of mycotoxins which may be present in feed such as haylage As the spring grass comes through, there is always the risk of very loose droppings, therefore a risk of colic, and for the first time i have had just one horse to graze a large area of pasture!

Maintenance level:

This brewer’s yeast supplement is naturally rich in vitamins and amino acids to support good gut health. This supplement contains natural pre- and probiotic ingredients, plus green-lipped mussel, to help maintain a healthy, balanced digestive system. Yeast is added to encourage the growth of friendly bacteria, with dietary fibre and alfalfa to help maintain regular gut function. However, balancers aren’t the panacea for everything. Grimwood cautions that while some balancers might have added ingredients, or “nutraceuticals,” for joint health, owners of older horses or ones who need joint support might get more efficacy from a joint supplement: “These [nutraceutical ingredients in balancers] can be useful but, if your horse has a real problem or his lifestyle is demanding on his joints, then a more targeted alternative would be to feed a specific joint supplement, in addition to your balancer or hard feed, as this may allow you to feed higher levels of a wider range of nutraceutical ingredients to, hopefully, greater benefit.” Lattimer, J.M. et al.

Gut Plus is a digestive support powder acting as a gut balancer for horses with irritation from excess acid and stomach lining vulnerability. With easily digestible ingredients it is a cost-effectiveand successful supplementary nutritional feed product for the healthy horse. A scientifically proven time-released buffer that supplies an encapsulated source of sodium bicarbonate to the hindgut, helping to stabilise the pH and optimise digestive function. Crude Protein 12.00%, Crude Fat 16.75%, Crude Ash 16.50%, Crude Fibres 1.0%, Calcium (Ca) 6.0%, Magnesium (Mg) 1.10%. Suitable for all horses and ponies, on high cereal or forage diets for ongoing digestive tract maintenance and general wellness of the equinedigestive tract. Regarding choosing a balancer for the performance horse, she says: “His requirements for quality protein and some other nutrients will be correspondingly higher than for a horse who is resting or in light work. You should therefore look for a balancer which is formulated to meet the needs of a performance horse and which is likely to contain higher levels of protein, for example, for muscle development and tissue repair, as well as key antioxidants like vitamin E and selenium.”
