New Protexin Equine Premium range launched!
We spend £189 million each year on probiotic yoghurts and drinks for ourselves, but what about our horses?
Probiotics are friendly bacteria that usually thrive in the gut, aiding digestion and maintaining immunity. They have traditionally been fed as a supplement to horses undergoing worming or post antibiotic treatment, experiencing stress or suffering from illness. However, as human trials have discovered, feeding probiotics daily is a far more effective way of boosting the levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Horses are no longer self-sufficient. Agriculturally managed grazing contains fewer nutrients and a narrower range of grasses meaning horses may not be getting enough beneficial bacteria to balance their digestive system. This deficiency will affect the performance and condition of any equine from foal to competition horse, and older horses too.
In response to this new knowledge, Probiotics International Ltd has redeveloped its popular Protexin supplements and launched the Equine Premium range, consisting of 3 products.
Gut Balancer
(Formally Acti-Premium). A probiotic and prebiotic powder with grass meal for maximum palatability that can be easily added to feed. Use daily to encourage normal digestive function or at an increased measure during times of mild stress or digestive sensitivity.
Quick Fix
(Formally Acti-Paste). A highly concentrated probiotic and prebiotic paste with tasty peppermint flavour, in a syringe for ease of administration. Quick Fix can help rapidly restore the horse's gut microflora over short periods of high stress such as travel, competition, hospitalisation, worming or when there has been a change of environment or diet.
Acid Ease
(Formally Acti-Soothe). A soft pellet formulation that can be easily added to feed. Contains probiotics, prebiotics, calcium and magnesium carbonate to help calm excess acid.
