Composition

Herbal mixture (milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion, liquorice), wheat bran, apple pomace, rolled oats, brewer’s yeast, beet syrup, cellulose, linseed, calcium carbonate, psyllium seed husks, ground seaweed, yeast extract (MOS), magnesium oxide, sodium chloride, potassium chloride.

Instructions for proper use

Horses (500 kg): 100 g per day
Young horses and ponies: 50 g per day
Foals: 25 g per day
given with the feed.
As a preventative the dosage may be halved. Due to the increased content of trace elements daily ration should not be more than doubled.

Feeding period

For maximum effectiveness, the product should be applied over an extended period at least for three weeks. Feeding the whole year round does not pose any problems and will be beneficial.

General findings of nutritional science

Poor quality feed, changes in feeding times or other stress for the horse can lead to fermentation failure, colic, loose manure, or diarrhoea. These inevitably decrease the level of performance; tense muscles and loss of appetite are also a sign of this condition. A reasonable combination of digestive active substances can either prevent derailment of the digestive machine or support the regenerative process after illness and operation of the gastro-intestinal tract. After all, a healthy intestinal flora leads to an improved health status and thus to increased well-being, reduced susceptibility to illness and significantly increased performance.

Probiotics are live yeast cultures that can multiply in the horse's intestine. They improve the intestinal flora by promoting the required microbial settlements, the displacement of ill-making germs, the neutralization of poisonous substance as well as the stabilisation of the pH-value. In addition there is an effective activation of natural, indigenous power of resistance by the stimulation of the immune system in the intestine.

Prebiotika (MOS = Mannan-Oligosaccharide) and fermented cereals increase the indigenous immune rejection and promote performance capability.

Herbs like milk thistle, artichoke, dandelion, and liquorice accelerate the detoxication of toxins through the liver.

Kieselguhr can bind twenty times more liquids of its volume and is therefore effective in regulating the water content of the intestine during diarrhoea, periods of excrement water and during constipation. Kieselgur can also bind harmful substances and accelerate excretion.

Wheat bran and apple pomace promote through their high content of raw fibre the constant and smooth course of digestion processes.

Vitamins, minerals and trace elements must be fed to horses with impaired intestinal function to a particularly high degree, as the supply of these vital substances is often inadequate in the event of disorders in the digestive tract or damage to the intestinal flora (e.g. due to antibiotic therapy).
