Description
EquiShure’s unique encapsulation technology ensures targeted release directly in the hindgut.
EquiShure®promotes normal digestive function by aiding in the maintenance of an optimal hindgut environment and is designed for horses suspected of suffering from or that are at risk of developing hindgut acidosis.
Many horses have hindgut disturbances and EquiShure’s unique encapsulation technology ensures targeted release directly in the hindgut. The demands placed on horses, as both athletes and breeding animals, dictate that substantial quantities of energy–rich feeds be consumed. Disturbances in the normal hindgut environment are thought to result from overconsumption of either high–starch concentrates or pasture grasses rich in fructans (sugars).
Hindgut acidosis leads to changes in the bacterial population of the hindgut, digestive disturbances, and reduced digestive efficiency. EquiShure supplies a time-released balancer to neutralise the acid and help maintain a stable hindgut environment, which encourages proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Why use EquiShure?
- Horses fed high starch / cereal-based diets
- Horses sensitive to changes in forage / grazing
- Horses showing signs of digestive upset or loose droppings that may have a strong smell
- Horses that are prone to colic
- Horses that don’t maintain weight well, or have a poor appetite
