Dietetic complementary feed for horses
Carefully selected stomach protectants soothe and strengthen the gastric mucosa.
Application
EQUIPUR - gastral effectively supports the gastric mucosa and reduces stress reactions, which can lead to reduced blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract and a weakening of the protective and regenerative mechanisms of the gastric mucosa, potentially resulting in gastric ulcers. The high-quality ingredients in EQUIPUR-gastral thus provide all-round protection for the gastric mucosa, leading to a lasting stabilization of physiological digestion.

Composition
Magnesium oxide, flaxseed (ground), hawthorn, ginkgo, chamomile, licorice, calcium carbonate, soy protein concentrate (GMO-free), peppermint, pectin, flaxseed oil.
Instructions for proper use
With each concentrated feed meal, add
Foals: 5 g
Young horses: 10 g
Ponies: 15 g
Horses (500 kg): 25 g
mixed into the concentrated feed.
Due to the higher selenium content, the daily ration should not exceed 30 g per animal per day for foals, 60 g per animal per day for young horses, 90 g per animal per day for ponies, and 150 g per animal per day for horses (500 kg).
Feeding period
For maximum effectiveness, the product should be administered as a four-week course of treatment before, during, or after digestive disorders. It is important to administer the product with every concentrated feed meal, with three to four doses per day achieving the best results.
General findings of nutritional science
Stomach ulcers occur much more frequently in horses, especially foals and sport horses, than previously assumed (foals ~50%, sport horses ~60%, racehorses ~80-90%). The signs of a stomach ulcer are rather atypical: concentrated feed rations are not eaten, teeth grinding, empty chewing, flehmen, increased salivation, “bad breath,” poor general health, mild colic symptoms after meals, and, above all, reduced performance.
The development of stomach ulcers always begins with a weakening of the protective mechanisms of the stomach lining, allowing acids to irritate and destroy the mucous membrane. If this process is repeated over and over again, it can ultimately lead to a perforated stomach (especially in foals).
The causes of stomach ulcers are complex and lie primarily in the horse's susceptibility to stress (poor housing conditions, group pressure in foals and young horses, training, transport, competition, etc.) as well as in poor feed management (poor feed quality, excessive amounts of concentrated feed per meal, irregular feeding times, etc.). Illnesses, medications, and the intensity of work also play a role.
In order to prevent the development of stomach ulcers and effectively support the regeneration process after illness, many factors must be included in the therapy. Supportive feeding also plays an important role. The beneficial interaction of tryptophan (stress reduction), mucilage and pectins (mucous membrane protection), magnesium oxide (acid buffer), antioxidants (stomach cell protection), herbs (promotion of blood circulation), unsaturated fatty acids (anti-inflammatory) and regenerative substances leads to a rapid healing process and effective protection of the stomach lining.
INFOBOX
Gastric ulcer in horses
It was once thought that the problem of "gastric ulcers in horses" could only affect sport horses with high levels of concentrated feed. Today we know that many horses in recreational sports now struggle with stomach problems. Even if feeding is a central trigger for irritation and inflammation of the stomach lining, stress in the herd can also be responsible for stomach problems in horses. Many horses suffer from this, especially in the winter months, as after the summer grazing period the horses often have to live in cramped conditions during the winter. In addition, food envy, rank battles and longer breaks from eating are often responsible for this. Medications can also attack the stomach lining and cause painful lesions to form on it.
Diagnosing stomach ulcers in horses
The only reliable diagnosis currently is a gastroscopy. However, grinding your teeth, frequent yawning, poor eating, bad breath or mild recurrent gastric colic are the first indications of a stomach problem. By switching to a diet rich in fiber, reducing concentrated feed, and administering an acid buffer and digestive aids several times a day over a period of several weeks, the irritated stomach lining can calm down and heal.
