Could My Horse Benefit From Coopers® Gut Support?
Nowdays horses are subjected to a number of lifestyle challenges which can negatively affect the balance of healthy bacteria.
These factors include:
- Stress
- Limited turnout
- Strenuous exercise
- Transport
- Management changes
- Low forage diet
- High cereal/concentrate diet
- Feeding and diet changes
- Antibiotic therapy
- Weaning
If any of these factors apply to your horse, either in the short or long term, then they may benefit from Coopers Gut Support to help to maintain the healthy balance of bacteria within the hindgut.
Look out for the following signs which could indicate your horse may have an imbalance of hindgut microflora (dysbiosis):
- Diarrhoea
- Behavioural change
- Weight loss
- Poor performance
- Colic
Dysbiosis factors are not the only reason a horse could benefit from Coopers Gut Support. Other reasons to supplement are:
- To help establish healthy gut flora in a newborn foal
- To help support and maintain an ideal body condition during periods of high energy demands such as in-foal mares, youngsters and competition horses
- For horses finding it difficult to maintain body condition
- To help maintain normal gut function during periods of digestive disturbance
