UltraCruz® Equine Appetite Support Supplement for Horses
- Prebiotics and probiotics help maintain digestive health
- Glutamine supports metabolic processes
- Helps balance gut microorganism populations
- Can be useful for stressed horses and foals with a loss of appetite
UltraCruz® Equine Appetite Support Supplement for Horses is a balanced formula of prebiotics, probiotics, glutamine and Aspergillus oryzae - a direct-fed microbial that improves feed utilization by breaking down sugar, which increases energy. This supplement helps stimulate appetite and maintain digestive health in horses. UltraCruz® Equine Appetite Support Supplement for Horses can be beneficial to use during weaning and for horses with a poor appetite. Provided as a palatable, easy-to-use pellet.
A healthy horse's body is host to billions of bacteria of varying types and these bacteria are crucial to help keep the horse's gut functioning normally. If these bacteria are unbalanced, the horse may not digest nutrients properly.
Prebiotics are sources of non-digestible, soluble fiber that serve as food for beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Examples of prebiotics are: arabinogalactan, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), inulin, mannanoligosaccharides (MOS), pectin and psyllium.
L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, especially in muscle tissue. Glutamine is involved in more metabolic processes than any other amino acid, including building muscle, repairing intestinal tissue and enhancing the immune system.
