For Veterinarians
According to NAHMS, colic is the leading cause of death in horses, after old age.*
A sudden change in a horse's lifestyle or diet, such as different hay or grain, increased stall time, adjustment in activity level, or even dehydration can lead to colic. In fact, research has shown that hay changes alone can increase a horse's risk of colic by 10 times! Luckily, studies also suggest there are things your clients can do to help to reduce their horses' risk.
A healthy digestive system with SmartDigest® Ultra
SmartDigest Ultra is specially designed to help horses manage digestive stress caused by hay fluctuations, training, travel and more. This innovative formula provides high levels of specialized ingredients to help keep a horse's digestive tract healthy and balanced. The clinically studied ingredients in SmartDigest Ultra include: prebiotics (fructooligosaccharides) proven to reduce disruption in the cecum and colon; prebiotics (mannanoligosaccharides) shown to inhibit the absorption of mycotoxins in the hindgut; yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) shown to improve fiber digestion and assist the beneficial bacteria of the cecum in adjusting to feed changes; enzymes (amylase) shown to increase the proper digestion of starch in the foregut. SmartDigest Ultra provides unparalleled GI protection for every horse, from the high level performance horse to the retiree and everything in between.
