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.
Benefits of in-sandout:
- Stimulates gastrointestinal health & motility
- Supports removal & avoids accumulation of sand
- Highly palatable & easy to feed
- Sugar-free
- Backed by science

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

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.

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.

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'.

One of the early signs of stress is that the natural balance of flora in the animal becomes disturbed. The intestinal floras are as essential as the liver, kidneys or any other functional organ. The floras are important in the breakdown and subsequent absorption of nutrients to help insure that the body's protective immune system remains intact.
In addition to stress, chemical additives, worming remedies and antibiotics can seriously affect the composition of normal intestinal flora. ORALX REBOUND 3 is designed to help restore and maintain the desirable micro-organisms in the gut of the horse, not unlike a natural probiotic.
REBOUND 3 is an oral-dose paste containing an exclusive formulation of host-specific intestinal bacteria. The 30-gram syringe contains 3 full doses.

The inner bark of the Slippery Elm Tree has been used as a herbal remedy for centuries by indigenous peoples and it is now employed by both herbal and orthodox medicines.
Slippery elm bark powder is pale pink-brown in colour and its distinctive mucilaginous (slimy and slippery) texture, when mixed with moisture, sees it applied to conditions where mucous membranes are irritated/inflamed. This includes membranes of the respiratory and urinary systems as well as the entire gastro-intestinal tract, including the throat and oesophagus.
The inner bark of the Slippery Elm traditionally is used to sooth and coat injured and inflamed tissues, helping them to heal.
Slippery Elm may be beneficial for:
* Soothing the digestive system, respiratory system and urinary tract.
* Help in the management of diarrhoea
* Managing gastric ulcers
* After care of some colic cases
* The treatment of colds, flus and sore throats
* Please Note: Avoid administering Slippery Elm to an animal that is being administered any other medication that needs to be absorbed through the gut wall.
Crooked Lane Slippery Elm Bark Powder is premium food grade and comes in a stay fresh resealable pouch.

GastroAID Recovery is unique as it provides therapeutic levels of the “coating agents” pectin and lecithin, which form a barrier over the stomach wall to protect it from acid burn and strengthen the mucosal lining.
GastroAID Recovery is designed for horses with equine gastric ulcer syndrome (EGUS), horses recovering from EGUS, or those under a significant amount of stress. If your horse is prone to developing gastric ulcers, we recommend using GastroAID Recovery during stressful periods.
How does GastroAID Recovery benefit your horse?
A healthy digestive system means a healthier horse. GastroAID Recovery will help bring your horse back to its full potential by:
• Optimising total gut function
• Protecting total gut health
• Improving feed conversion efficiency
GastroAID Recovery helps your horse’s gut better cope with the stresses of exercise, stabling, travelling and competition. You will start to notice positive changes in your horse such as a better attitude, ability to perform, improved body condition, a glossier coat, increased appetite and manure consistency.
How does GastroAID Recovery work?
- Moderates Gut Transit Time: Wholegrain oat flour delays stomach emptying to maintain a healthy rate of food passage th`rough the digestive system, allowing for optimal digestion and absorption of nutrients.
- Neutralises Gastric Acid: Antacids stabilise (buffer) stomach pH to reduce irritation to the stomach lining.
- Coats Stomach Lining: Pectin forms a gel-like layer over the stomach to protect the lining from the corrosive effects of gastric acid.
- Strengthens Stomach Lining: Lecithin is a phospholipid that improves the integrity of the epithelial cells to help maintain a healthy stomach lining.
- Blocks Harmful Bacteria: Agrimos prebiotic blocks the colonisation of bad bacteria in the gut, reducing the risk of diarrhoea and disease. It also enhances the body’s immune response to infection.
Directions for use:

Jenquine all-4-feet
Concentrated, veterinary-developed feed replacer for all horses and ponies - specifically formulated to support soundness, hoof integrity and overall health. Ideal when a low starch/sugar/NSC diet is needed or for animals ageing, convalescing, in work, or at risk of inflammatory conditions (e.g., DOD, PPID/Cushing’s, laminitis/founder, EMS, insulin resistance, obesity, tying-up, OCD).
Why choose all-4-feet?
It can replace, balance or remove the need for multiple separate feeds and supplements, including:
- Manufactured complete feeds
- Balancers
- Amino acid / muscle builders
- Hoof supplements
- Omega-3 oil
- Tying-up support
If you’re feeding two or more of the above, all-4-feet simplifies the regimen and can reduce cost - your horse gets the essential nutrients; you only add fibre and, if needed, extra salt, oil or energy.
Core feeding principles
All horses and ponies require the same essential nutrients. Total intake varies with age, weight, workload, growth, reproductive status or clinical need. Higher-demand animals (growing, pregnant, performance) simply receive more of the same foundational nutrition rather than different types.
Feeding guide
all-4-feet® is an all-in-one nutrient base—add appropriate fibre and, if required, extra energy, salt or oil. Adjust gradually based on condition, workload and veterinary advice. Up to 1.5kg per day can be fed if needed. Fine-tune according to response.
| Category (Weight) | all-4-feet® | Oats / Grain | Roughage* | Oil |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adult Horses & Ponies (200–600kg) 5–28 years old | 50–300g | 0–2kg | 3–12kg | 25–500ml |
| Pregnant / Lactating Mares (200–700kg) | 50–500g | 0–3kg | 3–12kg | 25–600ml |
| Growing Horses (55–400kg) 4–24 months old | 100–400g | 0–3kg | 2–15kg | 25–400ml |
| Stallions (200–600kg) | 50–500g | 0–3kg | 3–12kg | 25–500ml |
| Weight Reduction (200–600kg) | 50–250g | 0–1kg | 1.25–9kg | 10–75ml |
| Weight Gain (200–600kg) | 100–400g | 0–3kg | 2.5–18kg | 50–500ml |
| Veterinary Clinical Conditions (convalescence, dental, diarrhoea, DOD, EMS, IR, laminitis, Cushing’s & older horses, PSSM, tying-up) (200–600kg) |
50–400g | 0–50g | 2–8kg | 25–300ml |
| Exercise / Horses in Training (200–600kg) | 75–600g | 0–8kg | 4–12kg | 25–600ml |
| Miniature Horses & Ponies (25–250kg) | 50–150g | 0–0.75kg | 0.5–4.5kg | 10–50ml |
| Donkeys (100–400kg) | 25–200g | 0–50g | 1.3–1.7% bwt | 10–50ml |
*Roughage should be adjusted based on quality, individual needs and veterinary advice. Donkey roughage is expressed as a percentage of body weight (bwt).
Always tailor feeding to the individual. Consult your veterinarian for horses with clinical conditions. Increase quantity—not type—when demand is higher (e.g., growing, pregnant, performance).

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.

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.

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

ProN8ure is the most advanced multi-strain Probiotic in the world today.
Unlike many other Probiotics that consist primarily of a single strain of bacteria, ProN8ure consists of seven different naturally occurring bacteria. The effectiveness and synergy of these strains has been proven in years of trials and production application.
The uniqueness of ProN8ure is not just confined to its multi-strain formulation. Research and Development has produced a special "protection" to ensure the highest possible numbers of bacteria survive the journey through the hostile conditions of the crop or stomach, into the gut where they rapidly begin to work for the benefit of the animal.
ProN8ure's introduction to Australia makes it the first and to date, the only nationally registered Probiotic approved for administration to animals and birds.
What is a Probiotic and how does it work?
The digestive system of all animals and birds is home to literally billions of bacteria and yeasts referred to as Microflora.
Microflora are essential to the health of any animal; aiding the digestion, breaking down cellulose and other indigestible substances; helping the synthesis and absorption of vitamins and minerals; stimulating the immune system and preventing the proliferation of pathogens. (Pathogens reduce nutrient absorption, animal performance and cause disease).
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.

Horse Digestive Care & Probiotics
Discover our range of horse digestive care products and probiotics, designed to support your horse's gastrointestinal health and overall well-being. From digestive aids to probiotic supplements, we offer solutions to promote optimal digestion and nutrient absorption for your equine companion.
How do I know if my horse has digestive issues?
Signs of digestive issues in horses include changes in appetite, alterations in manure consistency or frequency, weight loss, behavioural changes such as agitation or discomfort, colic symptoms, gastric ulcer indicators, and teeth grinding. If you observe any of these signs, consulting with your veterinarian is crucial for a thorough examination and appropriate diagnosis of potential causes.
How can Probiotics help my horse?
Probiotics offer several benefits for horses, particularly during stressful events like transportation or competitions, after antibiotic use, during dietary changes, signs of digestive upset such as diarrhoea or colic, during recovery from illness or injury, for senior horses, and during intensive training. Probiotics can benefit your horse by promoting a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, which is crucial for optimal digestion and overall health. By supporting a balanced gut microbiome, probiotics can help improve nutrient absorption, reduce the risk of digestive upset such as colic or diarrhoea, support immune function, and aid in the restoration of gut health following stress, dietary changes, or antibiotic use. Additionally, probiotics may help enhance performance and well-being in horses undergoing intensive training or high-performance activities.
