Support Digestive Health with Coligone
Autumn is a beautiful season but as the nights draw in and the temperature drops it signals a change. For horses this new season oftens means change to their diet and daily routine as owners start to stable horses overnight.
Sudden dietary change associated with the change in seasons is a common cause for digestive upset and potentially colic. Research has indicated that the risk of colic is greater when a horse is changed to a new forage, like changing from summer grazing to preserved forage when going into autumn. It is therefore important to make sure any dietary changes made in the autumn, for example, from grass to hay, or introducing a new feed, are made very gradually over at least 2-3 weeks to allow the horse’s gut microbes time to adjust and help prevent digestive upset.
Owners also need to be aware of the ‘Autumn Flush’ of grass. Mild, wet weather are ideal growing conditions for grass and the new shoots that pop up are rich in fructose. When these sugars are passed in high quantities through the horse’s digestive tract, they can cause an imbalance of the micro flora in the hind gut, resulting in associated acidosis. This form of acidosis of the hind gut is responsible for colic, laminitis, scouring and other conditions.
Why you should stock Coligone
Coligone Powder and Liquid have been formulated to help soothe and support the horse’s delicate digestive system. These supplements can reduce the effects of dietary change by helping to maintain a healthier hindgut pH and reducing the potential for digestive upset. Both Coligone Liquid or Powder can be fed to support the horse during the transition to new feeds and forage during the autumn and can also be fed daily throughout the year for improved digestive health.
Coligone Liquid rapidly combats digestive upset and supports the digestive tract. What makes this supplement so versatile is that it can be fed daily or as and when needed to restore digestive balance.
Coligone Liquid contains a natural seaweed buffer to maintain healthy acid levels throughout the digestive tract. It also coats the gut forming a buffer raft to protect the sensitive areas of the stomach against acid splash.
Coligone Powder contains scientifically proven pre and probiotics to encourage a healthy balanced hindgut microbiome at times of change.
Coligone Powder contain three separate Pro and Prebiotics which are scientifically proven to not only promote optimum fibre digestibility but also help nurture and stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, whilst helping to prevent disease causing or ‘pathogenic’ bacteria and support a healthy microbial balance and optimum immunity.
Prebiotics and Probiotics are a popular ingredient in many digestive products, but it is essential that the supplement fed, contains enough volume to make the difference needed.
Coligone Powder contains a 30% combination of MOS and ScFOS and Yeasac, which is essential to harmonise and repopulate the hindgut microbiome. Compare this to some other products available and you will see that some only contain 2%! This is what makes Coligone different and why it is so effective and endorsed by horse owners and vets.
