Which horses benefit from comprehensive hindgut support?
Research
A research study has shown through the use of the Diamond V in vitro intestinal activity modifier model (IAMM), it was demonstrated that SmartDigest Ultra, SmartDigest Ultra Pellets, and SmartGI Ultra Pellets - which all contain DVEquine postbiotic-produce higher levels of VFAs (volatile fatty acids) than an alfalfa/grass hay mix alone and may support the normal, healthy structure and function of the hindgut of the horse.
VFAs are vital for providing energy, supporting gut health, enhancing nutrient digestion, regulating feeding behavior,aiding in weight management, and adding support against developing metabolic disorders in horses.
