EquiShure® is a digestive health supplement designed for horses suspected of suffering from or at risk for hindgut acidosis.
Features Include:
Encapsulation technology ensures targeted release directly in the hindgut.
Hindgut acidosis is characterized by a drop in pH caused by microbial fermentation of starches and sugars such as fructans and the resulting accumulation of excessive lactic acid in the hindgut
EquiShure® is appropriate for all horses at risk 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 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, and development of certain vices such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking
It is important to maintain a stable hindgut environment with EquiShure® to encourage proper digestion and absorption of nutrients
Encapsulation technology allows for targeted delivery of sodium bicarbonate to the hindgut and prevents an effect on blood tCO2 levels
Stabilizes hindgut pH to reduce the risk of hindgut acidosis and associated disorders
May improve feed efficiency
Recommended for horses on high-grain diets or grazing lush pasture, with in appetence or weight loss, with unexplainable behavioral problems, with digestive upsets resulting in loose manure, prone to recurrent mild colic or laminitis, or sport horses under stress of training
