PRODUCT INFORMATION

Equine Choice Prebiotic + Probiotic paste supplements contains live encapsulated saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast enabling the yeast to make it to the hind-gut to stabilize pH levels for proper fermentation. Equine Choice products contain digestive enzymes and good bacteria. Bacillus bacteria is a heat and acid-tolerant bacteria, which enables it to make it to the hind-gut and has a stable shelf life in the barn setting. The prebiotic portion of the supplement is mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) a yeast cell wall that works as a toxin binder to help remove toxins from the digestive system and provide nutrients to the probiotic bacteria. Equine Choice supplements also contain B-vitamins, Vitamin E and the Amino Acids L- Glutamine and L-Threonine providing complete digestive health.

Equine Choice Prebiotic + Probiotic supplements survive stomach acid reaching the hind-gut assisting in consistent pH levels and proper hind-gut fermentation resulting in:

• Better feed and nutrients intake

• Preventing and treating digestive issues such as excessive gas and bloating, diarrhoea

• Increased water consumption to prevent dehydration

• Improved fibre and starch digestion

• Better immune response

• Increased performance due to a proper functioning digestive system

INGREDIENTS

Paste: Bacillus and Lactobacillus bacteria, live encapsulated yeast, digestive enzymes, mannan-oligosaccharide, vitamin B pack, L-glutamine, L-threonine, vitamin E, canola oil, and oat flour.

FEEDING GUIDE

• Administer 10-20 ml according to body weight orally per day.

• 10 ml for less than 200 kg. 20 ml for over 200 kg.

➜ Read about Hindgut Acidosis

KER RiteTrac contains ingredients that quickly and effectively protect the sensitive stomach lining, preventing the damage caused by the continuous production of gastric acid.

RiteTrac contains EquiShure®, a time-released hindgut buffer designed to act on the cecum and colon by minimizing the effects of subclinical hindgut acidosis.

WHY RITETRAC?

Formulated by the scientists at Kentucky Equine Research, RiteTrac™ is a proprietary blend of ingredients designed to support total digestive tract health. Targeted at both the foregut and hindgut of the horse, RiteTrac works in two distinct ways.

First, with its combination of fast-acting antacids and coating agents, RiteTrac quickly neutralizes excessive gastric acid, protecting the stomach lining and restoring the normal gastric environment. Second, RiteTrac contains EquiShure®, a time-released hindgut buffer designed to act on the cecum and colon by minimizing the effects of subclinical hindgut acidosis.

HORSES THAT BENEFIT THE MOST

RiteTrac is Suitable for Many Horses, Including Those:

• On high-grain diets

• At risk of gastric and colonic ulcers In training or work

• Grazing lush pasture

• Experiencing stressful conditions such as travel, show/sale preparation, and weaning

• With unexplained behavioural problems

• With weight loss of unknown origin

• Prone to mild colic with no obvious reason

• Susceptible to laminitis

• With digestive upsets

FEEDING DIRECTIONS

Feed 120 g daily. For best results, split between two feedings.

1 scoop = 60 g

KER Equishure is a highly effective hind gut buffer recommended for horses:

• On high-grain diets or grazing lush pasture

• With inappetence or weight loss

• With unexplainable behaviour problems

• With digestive upsets resulting in loose manure - Prone to recurrent mild colic

• With clinical or subclinical hind-gut acidosis

• On restricted forage intake

WHY EQUISHURE?

EquiShure® is a time-released buffer targeting the hindgut. Research supports the use of a hindgut buffer in cases of high grain and high fructan intake. Up to 70% of the horse’s energy is derived from fermentation in the hindgut. The pH of the hindgut varies as bacterial populations increase and decrease in response to dietary modifications. An acidic shift, which can be caused by carbohydrate-rich meals, favours the growth of acid-loving bacteria, while other microbes die in the same conditions.

Changes in the pH of the hindgut due to alterations in the microbial populations and acid profiles cause a condition known as subclinical acidosis, which can put affected horses at a higher than normal risk for colic and laminitis. Other signs of subclinical acidosis include decreased feed intake or complete inappetence in severe cases, mild to moderate colic signs of unexplained origin, poor feed efficiency and subsequent weight loss, loss of performance, and development of certain vices such as wood chewing, weaving, and stall walking.

EquiShure’s unique, patented encapsulation technology ensures targeted release directly in the hindgut.

Faecal examination indicated that non-supplemented horses had decreased faecal pH after feeding when compared to horses supplemented with EquiShure hindgut buffer.
