Just my random thought of the day...
Let's talk about a healthy gut = a healthy horse 🙌
Your feed regimen, your Pre and Probiotic , your amount and hours on forage matter!!!! Probiotics benefit your horses by promoting a healthy gut microbiome that supports digestion and nutrient absorption...AND a robust immune system!!!
What does sugar do to the body? It can kill the good bacteria in the gut, creates inflammation, disturbs digestion and can create acid creating even more issues throughout the body!
Adding fiber and healthy amounts of forage throughout the entire day will help keep stress levels down, aiding in digestion and gut health.
An unhealthy gut can cause body soreness that you might be stuck trying to figure out, it can even lead to lameness in some cases in the hind end and lower back! Think about how you feel when your stomach hurts?!?!?
So while we are all always looking for things to add and boost this or that, I hope we remember the basics ans provide a healthy belly which will allow your additional healthy supplements to do their job correctly in your horses system 💪
Personally I feed and have fed Forco Feed Supplement for over 15 years and always see a difference in my horses when starting on this, low sugar beet pulp is my favorite to add this to for an easy morning breakfast that includes all the benefits listed above. 😋
But there are so many amazing products out there that are affordable and effective! I highly encourage you to review your feeding program and read on some products that fit you and your horses program!
