Prozyme Equine

Probiotics for horses

As a healthy gut probiotic for horses, Prozyme contains naturally occurring cultures of specific strains of beneficial bacteria. These organisms work together in the gut to assist lactic acid production, producing digestive enzymes to aid normal gut function, aiding the immune system and helping to supply vitamins, nutrients, and trace elements.

This pro-biotic powder works in the digestive system and overpopulates bad bacteria with beneficial bacteria. The introduction of this bacteria will help to maintain balance as nature intended.

Why should I give my horse probiotics?

If your horse experiences a sudden change in diet, stress, or illness, they might benefit from probiotics. This is because probiotics can help stabilise gut flora and reduce the likelihood of digestive upsets, which can protect horses from an increased risk of colic that comes from disrupted gut bacteria.

Probiotics are also great for supporting horses on antibiotics. This is because antibiotics kill both harmful and beneficial bacteria in the gut, and probiotics work to repopulate good bacteria, which can reduce the risk of diarrhoea and other digestive issues.

Should your horse need to travel, this can upset their gut. Therefore, during times of high stress such as this, you might give them probiotics to help maintain a stable digestive environment.

If you notice that your horse has loose stools or inconsistent manure, it might be worth giving them probiotics to help regulate their digestion.

Similarly, if your horse has been unwell or you’ve recently dewormed them, their gut microbiome may be out of balance. This is where probiotics can come in to aid in restoring normal gut function.

Last but not least, if your horse has a weakened immune system, probiotics can help reduce the risk of infections or inflammatory conditions.
