AbActive: When Does your Horse Need Equine Probiotics?

When does your horse need Equine Probiotics?

Horse probiotics help maintain the healthy state of a horse’s gut. Probiotics are live bacteria that are beneficial to the digestive system. Equine probiotics help restore natural intestinal flora.Therefore leading to more rapid recovery and better nutrient absorption.

The beneficial microbes

A pouch connected to the horse’s large intestine called the cecum is home for several beneficial microbes. Consequently these microbes help with food digestion. The imbalance of these microbes and be disrupted by:

  • stressful situations
  • medications such as antibiotics
  • subjected to abrupt changes in their normal routine.

AbActive is a proven equine probiotic.

Stress is hard to avoid especially if intense training is involved. So stress can upset the balance of good and bad microbes. Consequently leading to poor food digestion and nutrient absorption. As a result your horse may experience weight problems, poor condition and even diarrhea.

Some horse owners regularly administer probiotics to maintain healthy gut. However probiotics can also assist under the following circumstances.

Your horse

– drinks chlorinated water
– undergoing a course of antibiotics
– stressed (high performance, competition, and relocation)
