Why is gut health so important?
Gut health plays an important role not only in uptaking nutrients but also in disease prevention, metabolism balance, behaviour, & general vitality. Research shows sub-optimal gut health is linked to various health issues.
Numerous stressors may compromise gut health. These can be hard to avoid in daily life, and include food composition & regimen, pathogens, mycotoxins, environment, travel, intense work & climate stressors. Thanks to EAC's cutting-edge “BIM” technology & high-quality ingredients, in-sideout horse can help support your equine partner & optimise their performance.
Poseidon Digestive RP is a total tract equine gut supplement, designed to meet the needs of high performance sport horses and racehorses. Digestive RP provides increased support for your horse's gut health and essential digestive and immune functions, with extra postbiotics and enzymes to enhance digestion efficacy, and additional amino acids for additional muscle repair and gut support.
This premium equine gut health product offers the benefits of:
• extra digestive enzymes for improved digestion and nutrient uptake,
• extra dual action stomach pH buffering with red marine algae and magnesium hydroxide,
• prebiotics plus a higher level of post biotics for extra gut protection and repair,
• five amino acids for stomach health and cell repair,
• an updated magnesium to calcium ratio to ensure optimum absorption and metabolisation levels
• and Elitox mycotoxin binder.
Why choose Digestive RP?
The gut of high performance sport horses and racehorses is often put under a lot of pressure, with more challenging environments, higher workloads, more 'stress' events, and higher grain levels in their feed regimes. These conditions create challenges we need to manage well, in order for a horse to maintain healthy gut function, and be able to race or perform at its best.
Digestive RP has been created to help these high performance horses, and horses on higher grain diets maintain normal gut health and function. It provides extra support compared to DigestiveEQ, to support these horses with their more challenging than ‘normal’ environments, workloads and feeding regimes.
Look for the signs of good gut health in your sporthorse or racehorse - glossy coat, good energy and performance levels, healthy hooves, calmer behaviour, good appetite, good manure, great topline and overall condition.
Poseidon Digestive EQ is a complete fore & hindgut digestive product designed to support the digestive & immune systems of the horse with the added benefit of enzymes, amino acids & antioxidants.
Is your horse suffering from weight loss, performance issues, lack-lustre hoof health, dull coat condition, excitable or sour behaviour, restrictive movement, girthiness, or issues like recurrent colic, gastric ulcers, tying up or laminitis? These might be due to an unhealthy gut (both fore and hind).
Benefits of Digestive EQ:
• Digestive EQ is designed to support the digestive and immune systems of your horse.
• Its unique formulation is designed to assist with foregut and hindgut digestion, inflammation and immune challenges by assisting to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract and eliminate common causes of upsets, particularly in the hindgut.
• It also contains a mycotoxin eliminator to negate mycotoxins and help get your horse’s gut healthy again.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

In late 2020 International Animal Health began rebranding Protexin to a new name "ProN8ure". The actual product remains the same and the only thing that has changed is the name.
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. PROTEXIN 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.
Stress Levels Dose / Day; Horses: 20mL Ponies: 10mL Foals: 10mL Dogs: 2mL to 6mL Puppies: 2mL Cats & Kittens: 2mL Cattle, pigs, sheep, goats: 4mL Calves, piglets, lambs, kids: 2mL Caged Birds: 1mL /500g of feed

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.

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.

| 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 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.
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.
