Buckeye Nutrition® EQ8™ Gut Health Extruded Multi-Textured Feed is a high-fat, high-fiber ration formulated with the proprietary Well-Gut™ Ingredient System to provide comprehensive gastric and hindgut support for mature horses. Combining marine-sourced calcium (Calcite) with reduced starch, heat-stabilized prebiotic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 1.48 Billion CFU/lb) and super fibers, plus a 5-strain blend of active live probiotics (100 Million CFU/lb), EQ8™ Gut Health supports optimal stomach buffering and hindgut microbial stability.

Providing 12% crude protein, 8% crude fat, and controlled soluble carbohydrates (20% maximum NSC: 14.5% max starch, 5.5% max sugar), EQ8™ Gut Health delivers cool, sustained energy and is fully fortified with GRO 'N WIN™ amino acids, vitamins, and chelated trace minerals.

  • Well-Gut™ Triple Digestive Support: Features marine-sourced calcium (Calcite) for gastric buffering, heat-stabilized yeast and super fibers for prebiotic support, and 5 strains of live probiotics.
  • Cool, Sustained Energy (12% Protein / 8% Fat): High-fat, high-fiber extruded and multi-textured blend supports stamina and body condition without grain-induced excitability.
