EquiShure®
A time-released hindgut buffer and digestive health supplement, helping to maintain an optimal gastric environment and normal digestive function by targeting the colon and caecum.
Time-Released Mechanism
An encapsulated form of sodium bicarbonate ensures the hindgut buffer is released slowly as it travels through the digestive tract. It takes 6 hours to be released and a full 24 hours to be completely broken down.
Feed Efficiency
Promotes a favourable environment for fibre-digesting bacteria to ferment fibre for energy, and to help with altered or compromised digestive function.
Appetite or weight loss
A sign of impaired hindgut function can be loss of appetite and 'fussiness' towards feed. Supporting gut health and digestive function can help to restore appetite by moderating and settling the hindgut environment.
Seasonal Changes
Supporting a stable hindgut pH during dietary and management changes, especially in horses sensitive to changes in their grazing as we move through the seasons.
Unexplained Behavioural Problems
Changes to normal behaviour can be a sign of hindgut disturbance (weaving, wood chewing, box walking). At-risk horses often express one or more signs that can reduce athletic performance.
Digestive Upset
For horses showing signs of hindgut disturbance resulting in loose droppings that may have a strong smell. Changes in the pH of the hindgut due to alterations in the microbial populations and acid profiles cause a condition known as subclinical acidosis, which can put affected horses at a higher than normal risk for colic and laminitis.
Suitable for
Horses fed high starch / cereal-based diets, or those sensitive to changes in feed, forage/grazing, and management. For horses showing signs of digestive upset, or those diagnosed with hindgut acidosis. It can be used safely for horses in training and in high-performance exercise intensity, for mares in late pregnancy and for horses in stressful situations (such as, sales prep, and during competition or training).
Features
A research-proven, time-released hindgut buffer, EquiShure takes 6 hours to be released and a full 24 hours to be completely broken down in the hindgut. It can be used strategically when horses are travelling, or at any time when normal feeding patterns are compromised.
EquiShure’s unique, patented encapsulation technology ensures targeted release of sodium bicarbonate directly into the horse's hindgut.
