EquiShure is an innovative time-released buffer designed with patented encapsulation technology for targeted time-release to the hindgut. With solid scientific backing, EquiShure is a game-changer in cases of high grain and high fructan diets for horses.
Fueling Energy from Fermentation: Did you know that a remarkable 70% of your horse's energy is sourced from fermentation within the hindgut? This process can be influenced by various factors, including shifts in bacterial populations due to dietary changes. The pH levels of the hindgut fluctuate as these bacterial communities adapt. For instance, a rise in acidity, often triggered by carb-rich meals, can encourage the growth of acid-loving bacteria while impeding others.
The Consequences of pH Disruption:Imbalances in hindgut pH caused by alterations in microbial compositions and acid profiles can lead to a condition known as subclinical acidosis. This not only heightens the risk of colic and laminitis but can also manifest as reduced appetite, unexplained mild to moderate colic signs, inefficient feed utilization, weight loss, diminished performance, and the development of unwanted behaviors like wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking.
EquiShure's Tailored Support: For horses grappling with hindgut acidosis, Kentucky Equine Research's EquiShure Time-Released Hindgut Buffer Horse Supplement provides specialized relief. Hindgut acidosis results from an accumulation of excess lactic acid in this critical region, negatively impacting both health and performance. This dynamic supplement steps in to establish a more stable hindgut environment. By bolstering balanced pH levels and strategically releasing within the hindgut, EquiShure maximizes its efficacy. The outcome? Improved digestion, heightened nutrient absorption, and the potential reduction of issues such as colic symptoms, weight loss, performance dips, and wood chewing.
Research-Backed Efficacy: Scientific trials at Kentucky Equine Research (KER) have rigorously evaluated EquiShure's effectiveness in countering hindgut acidosis in horses consuming high-grain rations. The results speak for themselves: EquiShure® supplementation prevented a drop in pH caused by rapid starch and sugar fermentation, fostering the flourishing of lactic-acid-utilizing bacteria. Furthermore, when faced with fructan challenges, EquiShure-supplemented horses demonstrated lower fecal lactate levels, indicating the conversion of lactate into valuable volatile fatty acids (VFA).
A Harmonious Balance: EquiShure's innovative time-released formulation plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal gut conditions. By averting extreme pH drops associated with excessive lactate production and empowering lactic-acid-utilizing bacteria, it facilitates the natural production of VFA from starch and cellulose. This balanced approach curtails the detrimental effects of lactic acidosis while promoting hindgut harmony, ultimately contributing to your horse's lasting vitality and performance.
Directions: Divide daily amount equally among meals. Top-dress on daily grain ration. Use the “Feed Chart” tab to determine recommended daily amount based on horse's grain intake, forage source and weight. 30 gm scoop enclosed.
