RESEARCH

Our Award Winning and scientifically proven Gastrosafe has been extensively researched and trialled by our leading vets for a professional ulcer supplement for horses.

Figure 1 below shows the differences in ulcer score between the first and second examinations, carried out 6 weeks apart, for both supplemented and controlled horses.

The average ulcer score for the group supplemented with Synovium Gastrosafe decreased from 1.82 to 0.91, whilst the average score for the controlled group increased from 1.5 to 1.66.

This study shows the effectiveness of Gastrosafe, as a nutritional adjunct in the management of equine gastric health. A leading horse ulcer supplement.

What are Prebiotics?

Prebiotics are a non-digestible food source to support your horse’s existing good gut microbes. Unlike probiotics they do not contain live bacteria.

Prebiotics support the horses good bacteria, for optimum health, by stimulating the growth and activity of the existing microorganisms. So the helpful bacteria remain healthy to prevent the bad bacteria thriving. Studies prove the benefits of supplementing horses with Prebiotics for gut health.

It is still an ongoing study to understand what is best to feed your horse for gut support and therefore it is always recommended to speak to your vet for advice. There are many theories on Probiotics but nothing concrete, unlike with Prebiotics.

Synovium Horse Health bases its supplements on only proven science and trials. Always ask advice of your vet if you suspect your horse has ulcers.

Ulcer supplement for horses – Gastrosafe
Veterinary gastric supplement for horses; for use on horses with a sensitive gut. A proven gut balancer for horses prone to ulcers and colic.

Horses are hindgut fermenters, therefore meaning that the large intestine is where breakdown of fibre takes place. Fibre is the main component of the horse’s forage which is broken down by microorganisms to produce essential nutrients that the horse absorbes.

Because the hindgut is geared for fibre fermentation, it is susceptible to upset due to receiving large amounts of undigested sugars.
