Probiotic supplementation is not a brand new idea. Probiotics are already popular for humans and we spend £189 million a year on probiotic yoghurts, drinks and supplements for ourselves.
It is important to remember the impact of the modern way of life on the horse. As we increasingly ask more of our horses and try to fit them in around our hectic modern lifestyles, the horse’s routine can be disrupted.
A daily boost of friendly bacteria will help to maintain condition and get the most nutritional value out of its feed, thereby potentially reducing feeding costs. With less stress at competitions and improved health, appearance, performance and immunity, probiotics are an important addition to every horse’s diet, whether riding around Badminton or hacking down the road. |
