in-sandout is the new intestinal sand removal solution for your equine partner. Sand ingestion leads to devastating issues in horses.

Sand can be consumed inadvertently by horses that are maintained on sandy soils, short pasture or fed hay or grain in sandy areas. This sand then accumulates in the large colon. Problems associated with sand accumulation include chronic and intermittent diarrhoea, weight loss and colic. It may further impair gut health due to irritation and obstruction of the intestinal tract.  

Research shows that psyllium husks & magnesium sulphate in combination, at a proper dosage, are effective at removing and limiting accumulation of sand & mitigating sand-related issues. However, an issue with feeding psyllium husks on their own is many horses dislike the taste and texture of the high inclusion of this fibre.

in-sandout pellet is a sand removal solution that contains quality psyllium husks & magnesium sulphate with an optimised dosage regimen.  in-sandout is formulated as a pellet with natural flavours & sweeteners for optimal intake & palatability.

in-sandout can also be used in conjunction with in-sideout, in-force, in-stride, in-fusion msm & in-fusion ha.

Equitec Clean Culture is a 10 day program that may benefit the health of the digestive system. It has been designed to promote the growth of good bacteria and eradicate bad bacteria by promoting the regeneration of gut flora, which in turn may increase the uptake and absorption of nutrients.

Many horses will suffer a digestive disorder at some time in their life. These may be caused by long periods between feeds, diets with a high grain intake, extended administration of antibiotics, sudden change of feed, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, ulcers or horses who are naturally highly strung. Clean Culture aims to act as a detox for the digestive system so that it may start to repair and heal itself from these disorders.

Clean Culture may be fed over the tongue or added to hard feeds. The addition of licorice powder increases the palatability of the formula, which comes in the form of a paste.

BioMOS (mannan oligosaccharide) has been added to help boost gastrointestinal health and promote the growth of healthy bacteria. The inclusion of sea minerals may boost the antioxidant content of the formula and provide essential fatty acids.

Digestive health facts:

• More than half of all horses will experience ulcers at some stage in their life.
• Horses who have ulcers will often present symptoms such as going off their feed and can appear nervous or 'hot'.

Toxin Binder has been formulated from specific ingredients that may bind harmful mycotoxins in the horse≈'s digestive tract during periods of high mycotoxin contamination. Toxin Binder is designed to bind to the polar and non-polar mycotoxins.

What is a Mycotoxin?

Mycotoxins can be found in the fungi that grow on some grasses -mainly paspalum, rye, couch and some weeds and clover. More than 500 mycotoxins have been identified to date. They are more prevalent in hot and humid conditions (spring and summer) and can also be found in some commercial feeds and hays.

About the Ingredients:

Mycosorb A+ contains two main ingredients; a specific strain of yeast and algae meal. Mycotoxins are thought to bind to this strain of yeast, thus removing them from the horse≈'s digestive tract. The algae is also thought to target and absorb different types of toxins, removing a wider range of toxins when combined.

Actigen and Ecocell are strains of yeast containing Mannan Oligosaccharides (MOS). MOS are considered a prebiotic and are thought to promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria in the hindgut. They may also boost the immune function in the digestive tract.

PowerStance is a powdered coconut oil. It may have antimicrobial actions from the lauric acid for optimizing gut health, maintaining appetite and normal digestive function.

Signs of Mycotoxin poisoning:

• Symptoms can vary widely but may include:
• Itchy skin and/or hair loss
• Scabby sores
• Stiffness
• String halt/staggers
• Wasted topline
• Sunburnt nose
• Persistent cough
• Odd sweating
• Coarse, dull coat
• Persistent greasy heel/rain scald
• Unexplained spookiness and dangerous behaviour

Mycotoxin poisoning may also cause the following without any obvious signs:

• Depleted minerals in the body
• Decreased immune function
• Negative impact on the kidneys, liver and reproductive system
• Severe cases can lead to death

In late 2020 International Animal Health began rebranding their product which was formerly known as Protexin to a new name "ProN8ure".

BENEFITS OF ProN8ure:

• Establishment of beneficial gut microflora
• Suppression of E. Coli Salmonella & Aeromonas spp
• Treatment and control of scouring and diarrhoea
• Improved digestibility of feed
• Improved growth and feed conversion
• Reduced digestive upsets
• Enhanced animal health
• Re-establishment of gut microflora following antibiotics, wormers or vaccination
• Reducing stress (stress disrupts normal intestinal balance)
• Safe, non-toxic and residue-free.

Stress, in all forms is one of the major causes of disruption to the normal balance of microflora in the gut, allowing proliferation of pathogens. Loss of appetite, picky eating, scouring, poor condition and changes in temperament are some of the less consequences. Stress is easily induced with some common causes being: changes in diet, heavy work or training, temperature extremes, breeding, transportation, worming, vaccinations and changes to environment. Use of ProN8ure in these circumstances protects horses from negative intestinal changes while improving digestive efficiency and general health.

Antibiotics are particularly harmful to gut microflora, leaving animals susceptible to re-infection. ProN8ure should always be administered following any course of antibiotics.

The digestive system plays a vital role in the health, vigour and performance of horses. Its correct functioning is dependent on the level and balance of bacteria and yeasts called microflora. Microflora have the major role in breaking down indigestible nutrients, in the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals, in stimulating the immune system and in preventing the proliferation of pathogens in the gut.

Foals are born with a sterile gut which is rapidly colonised by both beneficial and pathogenic bacteria. A fine balance exists which can easily be disrupted, leading to scouring, ill thrift and other problems. Feeding ProN8ure from birth protects the foal from pathogens, improves digestive efficiency, enables better utilisation of feed and makes the transition from milk to solid feed easier.

All horses benefit from ProN8ure's ability to stabilise intestinal microflora, maximise gut health and resist the effects of stress.

DOSAGE:
Dose at stress levels for the first 5 days and then dose at maintenance levels. Stress level dose may need to be continued for longer if necessary.

EquiShure®-Time-Released Hindgut Balancer for Horses with Subclinical Acidosis. EquiShure® is appropriate for horses suspected of suffering from subclinical acidosis. At-risk horses often express one or more signs that can derail athletic performance as well as reduce growth or reproductive potential. Signs of subclinical acidosis may include:

Decreased feed intake or complete inappetence in severe cases

• Mild to moderate colic signs of unexplained origin
• Poor feed efficiency and subsequent weight loss
• Loss of performance
• Development of stereotypies such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking

A diagnosis of subclinical acidosis is often overlooked initially when one or more of the aforementioned signs is noticed. EquiShure, a time-released hindgut buffer, may be beneficial in counteracting the effects of this syndrome.

Causes of Subclinical Acidosis:
Subclinical acidosis is thought to result from over consumption of either high-starch concentrates or pasture grasses rich in fructans. The demands placed on horses-as athletes and as breeding animals-dictate that substantial quantities of energy-rich feeds be consumed.
When large grain meals are fed to horses, it is often impossible for the stomach and small intestine to sufficiently digest and absorb the massive onslaught of starch. Hence, some starch moves into the hindgut without being sufficiently digested. As digestion of easily-fermentable starch progresses in the hindgut, the production of volatile fatty acids (VFA) and lactic acid increases, causing a significant decrease in the pH. When the hindgut endures insults such as this several times a day it teeters on becoming overwhelmed with acid. Additionally, because lactic acid is a stronger acid than the VFA, it can cause serious damage to the intestinal mucosa. In severe cases, lactate may contribute between 50 and 90% of the total acids in the hindgut.
The shift in pH provides an unfavorable environment for some of the many microorganisms that inhabit the hindgut and aid in digestion. In particular, fiber-digesting bacteria such as Ruminococcus albus and Fibrobacter succinogenes are sensitive to precipitous decreases in pH. For optimal performance, these bacteria favor an environment with a pH between 6.5 to 7.0. When pH drops to below 6.0, fiber-digesting bacteria become less efficient and begin to die off.
In contrast to fiber-digesting bacteria, lactate-producing and lactate-utilizing bacteria thrive in an environment with a low pH. Certain microorganisms such as Streptococcus bovis actually shift their metabolism and produce lactic acid rather than VFA when exposed to acidic conditions, serving only to compound the problem.
Changes in the pH of the hindgut due to alterations in the microbial populations and acid profiles cause a condition known as subclinical acidosis.

Signs of Subclinical Acidosis
One of the primary signs of subclinical acidosis is inappetence or decreased appetite. A horse is often reported to be "off his feed."Because the hindgut is overwhelmed with lactic acid when a horse is experiencing acidosis, the intestinal lining becomes inflamed and irritated, causing the horse discomfort. The irritation may be severe enough to induce behavior characteristic of colic. Furthermore and perhaps most detrimental to equine athletes is a reduction of feed efficiency. Long-term exposure of the intestinal lining to a low-pH environment may negatively affect the absorptive capacities of these structures, limiting the amount of energy available for performance.
In addition to these health concerns, a link between subclinical acidosis and sterotypies such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking has been suggested by researchers.
Because of the precarious nature of the hindgut of a horse afflicted with subclinical acidosis, it is less able to handle metabolic crises that healthy horses may be able to fend off. Hence, horses with subclinical acidosis are more susceptible to colic and laminitis.
Managing Subclinical Acidosis
Subclinical acidosis is not a novel health risk among domestic animals. Researchers first set out to solve the problem of subclinical acidosis in dairy cattle. Cows afflicted with rumen acidosis frequently exhibit abnormal or erratic eating patterns. More often than not, they eat less and that leads to decreased milk production and reduced profit. Therefore, the need to regulate the pH in the rumen became apparent. Researchers and dairymen successfully accomplished this by adding a buffer such as sodium bicarbonate to the feed.

Feeding Instructions

Acid imbalance in the hindgut can cause serious problems, including acidic build up, hindgut ulcers or ‘cow-pat’ manure. FABBY protects against negative effects of hindgut starch overload in horses consuming high starch diets. The live yeasts in FABBY are also proven to boost digestion of fibre sources for improved condition in ‘hard keeper’ or ‘poor-doer’ horses.

Prebiotics:

FABBY includes multiple prebiotics to help feed ‘good bacteria’ populations to positively influence the hindgut microbiota. These prebiotics have been proven to help adapt to new diets, especially after sudden feed changes and improve conversion of feed to energy in horses with inefficient digestive function.

Active Yeast Components:

Active Yeast Components are specially purified parts of the yeast cell, including MOS (mannan oligosaccharides), B-glucans and nucleotides which are designed to block attachment of infectious ‘bad’ bacteria and the action of pathogens in the hindgut. The purified nucleotides in FABBY benefit digestive function and regenerate the gastro-intestinal lining. The combination of these Active Yeast Components may reduce scouring or loose manure in horses with poor hindgut microbiota balance.

Functional Fibres:

The functional fibres in FABBY are a special blend of digestible and indigestible fibres which are designed to stimulate important areas of the gastro-intestinal tract for improved function, helping to regulate food passage through the digestive system. Optimising the working of the hindgut is an important process in healthy manure production and general good digestion.

Mycotoxin Binders:

The mycotoxin binders in FABBY constitute a broad-spectrum approach using multiple types to counter a wider range of mycotoxins, but are specially selected to not absorb or bind other feed nutrients, such as vitamins. FABBY is formulated to help horses exposed to feed ingested mycotoxins (up to a moderate level) and reduce risk of digestive upsets or problems in horses with feed sensitivities.

Specific Amino Acids including L-Glutamine:

Specific amino acids such as L-glutamine are particularly included as it helps to regulate passage of manure through the gastro-intestinal tract and also feeds the cells lining the digestive system with energy to optimise digestive activity and maintain normal barrier function. The combination of ingredients in FABBY are uniquely designed to help the entire hindgut and its contents.

Proven Results from Extensive Research:

FABBY has been research tested for over 3 years in field trials with over 100 Aussie horses. Trial owners reported their horses particularly benefited from optimised hindgut function, reduced loose manure or scouring issues, better utilisation of feed to maintain condition, plus visibly improved general health and vitality, even in situations of stress, change in feed or hay, lack of pasture, age, infirmity or high grain/starch diets.

Hi Form BioEquus Gold is a unique synbiotic that has been specifically formulated to enhance the support of the horses gut microbiome. Highly effective in horses diagnosed with ulcers or prone to digestive conditions such as diarrhoea and colic.

Extra Strength - Additional Herbs

Matricaria recutita (chamomile) is traditionally used for numerous gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, including digestive disorders, spasms, colic, upset stomach, flatulence, ulcers and GI irritation. Additionally, research with chamomile has shown it to help with diarrhoea.

Curcumin can influence gut microbiota composition, allowing the growth of strains needed to maintain correct host physiologic functions. This is the case of neurodegenerative diseases in which often a gut dysbiosis precedes the onset of the clinical signs. Curcumin has excellent benefits on the intestinal epithelium and immune system and can strengthen the intestinal barrier through a reduction in bacterial translocation and inflammation.

Trigonella foenum- graecum L. seed Fenugreek: There is scientific evidence of galactomannan from fenugreek seeds as a prebiotic that may play an important role in modulating gut flora by acting as substrate to beneficial microbes.

DigestiveHP is built for horses under intense stress, in high work, competition or recovering from digestive challenges.
If your horse is showing intense or persistent signs of poor gut health such as regular loose manure, anxiety that doesn’t resolve, spooky behaviour, dull coat or hooves, or unexplained low energy, it's likely their gut needs more than just maintenance.

DigestiveHP is built on the same foundation as DigestiveEQ but formulated to have increased gastric buffering and with TruEquine delivering a higher concentration of postbiotics. It also contains higher levels of amino acids, an additional amino acid and an additional digestive enzyme, making  DigestiveHP a high performing gut support for horses under stress, in high work, or recovering from serious digestive challenges.

Visible signs of optimal gut health include firm manure, shiny coat, healthy hooves, enhanced stress resilience, calmer behaviour and consistent performance.

This advanced formulation works from the foregut to the hindgut, supporting the full 30 metre long digestive tract - ideal when everyday support just isn’t enough. Always consult your veterinarian or equine nutritionist for specific advice for your horse.

iO Apple Cider Vinegar 6% with Vitamin B1 and Garlic helps support the immune system by discouraging harmful bacteria while promoting beneficial gut bacteria.
Used as a regular part of feeding, it is believed to assist with arthritis and joint conditions. Apple cider vinegar helps acidify the stomach for optimum digestion.

Quick Facts & Benefits: As a natural insect control, Apple Cider Vinegar has been known to cause thiamine (Vitamin B1) to be excreted through the skin, repelling flies and mosquitoes. Optimum levels of B vitamins (particularly B1) in the body seem to discourage bugs.

Apple Cider Vinegar is prepared from low acid, low tannin dessert apples, which are crushed and then fermented. The product appears cloudy but settles to form a sediment or curd at the bottom of the container. Apple Cider Vinegar also contains Vitamin B1 2g/L. Horses are able to synthesise Vitamin B1 in the colon by bacterial action, however, further supplement of this vitamin is beneficial in horses fed poor quality pasture, hay and grain.

• Healthy gut lining support
• Ulcers healing
• Elimination of ulcer formation in the stomach.

• HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN PEPTIDES

• GASTRIC CELLULAR SUPPORT

• ORGANIC TURMERIC

Turmeric in the research showed suppression of the formation of stomach ulcers

• SLIPPERY ELM BARK

Contains high amounts of mucilage that adheres to the gastrointestinal tract, soothing and coating injured and inflamed tissues, helping them to heal and reducing the likelihood of scarring, as well as drawing out toxins and irritants.

• GELATIN HYDROLYSATE

Gelatin’s short peptides – glyprolines – consist of amino acids of glycine and proline. They protect the stomach mucous tunic from injuries. Glyprolines are easily absorbed in the stomach and remain in the blood for a long time without breaking up. They act not only on the stomach cells but also on the central nervous system overcoming the blood-brain barrier, therefore they help prevent the ulcers caused by stress.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CEN ULCER PROTECT AND ULCER MEDICATION

Ulcer medications (e.g Ulcerguard) turn down/block acid production in the horse’s stomach (proton pump inhibitor).  CEN Ulcer Protect does not inhibit the natural acid pump action. It helps protect and heal the stomach wall with high-quality ingredients without side effects.
Stomach acid is vital for protein digestion and absorption of key vitamins and minerals such as calcium and magnesium. The acid in the stomach is also important as a barrier against micro-organisms and parasites in the environment entering further down the digestive system.
Ulcers in horses can occur n the Foregut and Hindgut. Long term use of ulcer medication can be risky. Evidence from human research indicates that long term use of Omeprazole impacts calcium absorption, which has been linked to an increased risk of osteoporosis where bones become weak and there is the risk of fracture. Short term use would be a lower risk.
This has caused some nutritionists and researchers in equine nutrition to question the long term use of Omeprazole in horses. Dr. Juliet Getty – internationally respected independent equine nutritionist, believes that concerns are reasonable because what happens in a horse’s stomach is not that different from human digestion.
“What happens in humans is that these medications not only reduce protein digestion, but they also inhibit the absorption of key minerals and vitamins, such as magnesium, calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12” said Getty.
