Kentucky Equine Research Equishure (7.2 Kg) Maintenance 60Gm/Day - 120 Doses/Unit - ID# 3609
Time-Released Hindgut Buffer
Overconsumption of carbohydrates, usually in the form of high-starch concentrates or fructan-rich
pastures, can result in subclinical hindgut acidosis. Subclinical acidosis is a condition in which the pH
of the horse’s hindgut becomes too acidic.
Horses with subclinical acidosis often perform far below expectations. Subclinical acidosis might be
the underlying cause for decreased feed intake or complete inappetence in severe cases, mild to
moderate colic signs of unexplained origin, poor feed efficiency and subsequent weight loss, and onset
of vices such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking.
• Effectively maintains the pH of the hindgut, reducing the risk of subclinical acidosis
• Allows for optimal digestion of nutrients in forages and concentrates
• Creates an environment in which dietary energy can be absorbed efficiently
• Increases appetite in picky eaters
• Is easy to feed, as it is mixed into a horse’s grain meal
