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.

Indications:
Gastroenteritis and diarrhoea in dogs and horses.
Composition:
Bismuth salicylate 17.5 mg/mL; Bentonite
Actions
Antidiarrhoeal : The insoluble salt is converted to bismuth carbonate and sodium salicylate after oral administration. It lines the mucosal surface, absorbs toxic compounds, is mildly astringent and has protective, antacid and antiseptic properties.
Peptosyl is non-antibiotic - It will not cause bacterial resistance to develop. It is non-toxic in animals and humans, displays antibacterial activity, decreases water loss, and may also help reduce the pain of inflammatory bowel diseases.
Bismuth salicylate and other bismuth salts have been shown to inhibit plaque formation of enteric rotavirus in vitro.
The salicylate component has an antiprostaglandin synthetase effect which may enhance its action in controlling acute secretory diarrhoea.
Bentonite is a natural clay earth with properties similar to activated charcoal, and the ability to bind bacterial endotoxin.
Dosage and Administration:
Horses : 0.5 to 1 mL/kg bodyweight orally.
Dogs : 0.25 to 0.5 mL/kg bodyweight orally.
Repeat dose every 6 hours for 36 hours, and then at 12 hour intervals for a further 2 to 3 days.

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.

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.

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.

- 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

- 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.

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.
