Promoting health from the inside outThe health of a horse’s digestive system is one of the major factors in regulating overall performance and condition:
- By affecting the ability to convert nutrition into energy
- By affecting the strength of the immune system
- By affecting the anxiety status
To keep healthy, the digestive system needs billions of beneficial microorganisms (the microflora) living in the caecum - helping to digest the fibrous diet, and to create an exclusion barrier to harmful bacteria.
However, when the horse is subjected to stressful situations - competition, travel, fatigue, illness - its natural ‘empty and run’ flight response means that the balance of the microflora can become disrupted. This can therefore affect its immune response and ability to recover its health and performance.
Protexin Equine Premium is a range of specific supplements, each with a high quality probiotic to help restore the balance of the microflora and therefore to promote effective health, recovery and performance.
