DID YOU KNOW ?
Extrudates are easily digestible and very highly absorbable. Probiotics ensure good digestion. They stimulate the development of good intestinal flora and promote good intestinal health overall. Fibre also supports better digestion and helps prevent intestinal problems.
Some horses benefit from a diet low in sugar and starch. This applies, for example, to horses that suffer from recurring gastrointestinal problems, like stomach ulcers, colic and diarrhoea. Horses with metabolic problems such as: insulin dysregulation, obesity, laminitis, EMS, and muscle diseases (PSSM, RER). A low-sugar, low-starch feed avoids high peaks in blood glucose and insulin level, so it can also be used for horses that are susceptible to e.g. stress and overweight.
For horses that are sensitive to sugar and starch, fat and fibre offer good alternative sources of energy. When fat and fibre are digested in the large intestine, volatile fatty acids are released. These volatile fatty acids are absorbed into the blood and serve as a source of slow-releasing energy.
High in fibre, also known as crude fibre. Crude fibre is an indispensable pacesetter for the intestines and allows for a gradual release of energy. Moreover, a mix of high-quality and easily digestible fibre results in improved digestion and avoids gastrointestinal problems. The more fibre the feed contains, the longer the horse has to chew, which also increases saliva production. The intestinal micro-organisms also need crude fibre.
Getting enough fibre is an essential part of maintaining healthy microflora. A healthy gut results in a healthy immune system – a basic requirement for a fit and happy horse.
