Stomach and intestines of the horse

A healthy stomach and intestines are of considerable importance for the health and well-being of your horse. A healthy gastrointestinal tract starts with a good balanced diet: sufficient roughage of good quality, always providing enough fresh drinking water, avoiding sudden feed transitions, and tailoring concentrate feed to your horse's needs. Also, ensuring sufficient rest and avoiding stress are of great importance for healthy stomach and intestines.

Preventing Gastric Ulcers in Horses

With good management, many gastrointestinal problems in your horse can largely be prevented! Gastric ulcers are common in horses that undergo heavy training, experience a lot of stress, eat insufficient roughage, or drink too little. If your horse's management is already optimized but it remains susceptible to gastric ulcers, then a dietary supplement containing pectin-lecithin complex, such as Equitop Pronutrin, can help protect the gastric mucosa and be a useful addition to medication.

Colic or Other Gastric and Intestinal Disorders

Sudden feed transitions or ingesting too much sand while grazing on a sparse pasture can significantly increase the risk of colic. This is very unpleasant for your horse and for you as an owner. It's terrible to see your horse suffering. Pharmacy4pets helps you take care of your horse's healthy stomach and intestines. Did you know that regularly administering a course of psyllium fibers, such as Sectolin Sand Relief Psyllium, can help remove any sand potentially taken up by your horse's intestines?
