Cavalor® FiberForce Gastro Ulcer-Sensitive Low-Starch Horse Feed, 33 lb (15 kg) Bag — High-fiber, low-starch (6% max) and low-sugar (3% max) equine muesli fortified with seaweed-derived calcium buffers and stomach-soothing herbs for horses prone to gastric irritation or ulcers.
Cavalor FiberForce Gastro is a high-fiber muesli for horses that have a sensitive stomach. It is high in fiber to promote saliva production and neutralize gastric acid. Horses that have stomach problems often lose their appetite because eating is painful. Contains a mix of alfafa and timothy pellets, beet pulp and Timothy stalks that are gentle on the stomach lining. In addition, herbs protect the stomach lining from irritation and buffers help control acid levels in the stomach, maintaining an optimal pH. FiberForce Gastro is low in sugar and starch. We added fenugreek to FiberForce Gastro, for extra flavor.
Fortified with seaweed-derived calcium for optimal gastric support A horse's stomach produces gastric acid 24/7. The horse's stomach is very prone to developing minor wounds or ulcers. The buffers and herbal mix ensure a healthy environment in the stomach. Buffers neutralize excess gastric acid and help control its production, maintaining a neutral pH in the stomach. The herbal mix boosts saliva production and protects the stomach lining from irritation.
Low in sugar & starch, ideal for sensitive horses Some horses benefit from a diet low in sugar and starch. This applies, for example, to horses that suffer from recurring gastrointestinal problems, like stomach ulcers, colic and diarrhea. Horses with metabolic problems such as: insulin dysregulation, obesity, laminitis, EMS, and muscle diseases (PSSM, RER). A low-sugar, low-starch feed avoids high peaks in blood glucose and insulin level, so it can also be used for horses that are susceptible to e.g. stress and overweight.
With soft long stem fiber from timothy hay Horses with gastric ulcers have a sensitive stomach lining. Long fibers can irritate the stomach lining and cause the horse to stop eating. Timothy-grass fibers are gentle on the stomach lining, avoiding gastric irritation.
High in fiber High in fiber, also known as crude fiber. Crude fiber is an indispensable pacesetter for the intestines and allows for a gradual release of energy. Moreover, a mix of high-quality and easily digestible fiber results in improved digestion and avoids gastrointestinal problems. The more fiber the feed contains, the longer the horse has to chew, which also increases saliva production. The intestinal micro-organisms also need crude fiber. Getting enough fiber is an essential part of maintaining healthy microflora. A healthy gut results in a healthy immune system – a basic requirement for a fit and happy horse.
