Basic Equine Biotin 5KG

Biotin (25 mg per scoop), is a water-soluble B-group vitamin and is a crucial co-factor in hoof keratination. This sulfur-containing vitamin is especially important for the maintenance of hooves, and is significant for the health of all connective tissue structures. It stimulates keratin production in the hoof, hoof wall, sole and frog, with an added benefit of improvement of the horse’s general appearance and luster. Horses with poor quality hooves may benefit from supplementation at 25 mg daily; higher doses are suggested for horses receiving little or no grain. Beneficial for hooves that are shelly and brittle.

Brewers’ Yeast concentrate (10,000 mg per scoop). This natural pro-biotic supplement promotes gut health, improving digestion and nutrient availability. Yeast is an excellent source of B vitamins complementing Biotin. Contains all of the B complex vitamins.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (10,000mg/scoop) is a digestibility enhancer and gut flora stabilizer. It favourably alters the intestinal microflora balance, encourages feed and supplement utilization, and supports a healthy immune system. It enhances the digestibility of the diet by improving fibers’ digestibility, not only to improve feed efficiency, but also to leave little substrate for (bad) pathogens in the intestine, bolstering (good) pathogenic bacterial growth in the intestine. If the fiber is making a greater contribution to the horse’s requirements, then less concentrates should be required, which is ideal for any horses that are prone to digestive upsets or over-excitable behaviour. Research suggests that adding live yeast to the feed when starch was fed, helped to counteract some of the negative effects that usually occur in the hind gut, in response to starchy meals. It does support the inclusion of yeast in performance horse rations. When given to lactating mares, the resulting improvement in fiber digestion is reflected in changes to milk quality, to the benefit of suckling foals, which show improved growth compared to foals suckling mares given feed without supplementation. Moreover, yeasts are a rich source of water-soluble vitamins and phosphorus.

Yea-Sacc® (10,000 mgs) stimulates good bacteria in a horse’s hind gut, and buffers gut acidity to prevent digestive upset and to restore normal gut function. Helps to reduce risk of digestive colic and digestive disturbances linked with training, traveling, performing, deworming, antibiotic treatment and surgery. Maximizes nutrient digestibility and stimulates milk production in lactating mares.
