What’s in it?
 
A highly concentrated protected probiotic and prebiotic paste with MOS (Mannan oligosaccharides) and Beta-glucans to help maintain normal digestive function.
 
Saccharomyces Cerevisiae When feeding live yeast-based probiotics to horses it is essential that they are fed in a form which protects them from stomach acid so they reach the hindgut alive. We use a protected live yeast, which is capable of withstanding acidic conditions, but will then be broken down in the hindgut releasing the live yeast. Supplementing encapsulated live yeast can have the following benefits for horses: 
1. Supporting microflora in the caecum (hindgut)
2. Improved fibre digestion
3. Limiting the overproduction of lactic acid in the caecum 
4. Improved body condition 
 
We have carried out a number of clinical trials using encapsulated live yeast in horses. These studies looked at its use in combination with prebiotics.

MOS & Beta-glucans MOS and Beta-glucans are prebiotics, which means they create beneficial effects for resident microbes within the digestive tract. MOS is a large molecule which binds toxins produced by “bad” bacteria. Beta-glucans are able to interact with the immune system found in the digestive tract and stimulate it to improve its defence mechanisms.  Research has been performed on these ingredients in the production animal sector as follows:
