When is the right time to use Equine Premium?

Probiotics can be used at any time and for any horse, but specific points of great importance are:

  1. Immediately after birth to establish a correct microflora

  2. After changes in diet or environment

  3. Pre and post anaesthesia

  4. During and after antibiotic or steroid therapy

  5. After vaccination or worming

  6. In preparation for, during and after periods of training or competition

As the aim with probiotics is to restore and maintain normal gut function, they should be used whenever gut balance is upset. Situations likely to upset gut balance are:

    • Gut infections

    • Vomiting and diarrhoea

    • Antibiotic therapy or worming treatment

    • Dietary changes

    • Travel

    • Stress

    • Athletic competition

    • Following surgery and anaesthesia
