Clean Culture

Digestive disorders are extremely common and may be the result of long periods between feeds, diets with a high grain intake, extended administration of antibiotics, sudden change of feed, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and in horses who are prone to ulcers. Clean Culture aims to support the digestive system with natural ingredients including prebiotics and sea minerals.

Digestive Health Facts

More than half of all horses may experience stomach ulcers and stomach distress at some stage in their life. Horses who have ulcers will often present symptoms such as going off their feed, weight loss, dull coat and can appear nervous or ‘hot’ or ‘girthy’.

We recommend feeding Clean Culture in the following situations:

• When buying a new horse

• After a long break from work/training

• During injury recovery

• During times of stress - competition, travel, environment change

• Periodically during season changes

Colic in Arabian mare Maya

"My Arabian Mare, Maya has been having Gastro intestinal issues for the past 6 years, basically the whole time I have had her.

Mostly nasty spasmodic colic’s that come on frequently but resolve rather rapidly as well. She has been treated for Ulcers over the past 6 years. She has had ultrasounds, blood tests, belly taps repeatedly over the past 6 years, but in the past few months she had them all done again. Nothing unusual comes up in her tests, so we still have no official diagnosis for her. We know that she is very sensitive to sugars and fructans in the grass and her feed contains no sugars or grains. Most of her flair ups are over the summer months, she can be fine for months on end, though 8 months is the longest stint we have had her colic free. At the beginning of 2013 she had colic 8 times in 3 months. Her colic’s were always rapidly resolved but the frequency was really worrying me. She was referred to a local equine hospital and 3 hours of ultrasounds, once again showed nothing.

In July last year I moved her to our new property. She was doing well and her health was very stable. However she relapsed again this year in early March. Bloating, colic, mucous covered manure are the normal symptoms but this year something else happened, she literally dropped off all her weight and muscle within a week. She was like a walking skeleton. Her appetite has always been great and she has never stopped eating even during these flair ups. The above tests were repeated and once again all came back normal. She was wormed, teeth done etc all the obvious addressed. Once again she was put onto another course of Ulcer meds. Her feed amount was slowly increased to double the amount.

She began slowly putting weight on and she seemed to be improving but nothing miraculous and I was constantly waiting for her flair up again. Then were visited by a Cyclone, she did not cope real well with that and dropped off the weight she had been gaining. I was about to put her back onto yet another course of Ulcer Meds but was sent a Turmircle sample to try so did that instead.

However it was your product Clean Culture that was pointed out to me at my local Feed shop as possibly being something to try for this horse. So she was put on the 10 day course right after the cyclone hit. I didn't see much change at all during the course, however was really surprised 2 days after the course was finished. She just looked better in herself and she looked like she had put on weight. Another week went by and its like she is suddenly able to utilize nutrients in her food again. 4 weeks have since gone by and there is a big change, we are certainly have a way to go, and the vets think her condition will always be there, it’s unlikely she will get totally better -- similar to humans with crones disease, she will always have flair ups. But for now we have normal manure with no mucous, weight coming back on. She has just done some 5 x 10km rides over the past 10 days, not competitive at all but just being able to ride this horse is huge, let alone 5 times in ten days.

Thanks for coming up with a great product!”

Kind regards,
