Good for guts

29 October 2001

Baileys Digest Plus is a prebiotic which aims to restore the natural bacterial content of the gut

Winter often means that horses spend less time grazing and more time stabled, which canhave a significant affect on their digestive system. However, it is not only a change in feed, which can upset the balance of the gut, stress due to travelling, competition or illness can also have an affect.

The equine gut is host to a multitude of species of bacteria, some are beneficial, while others are potentially lethal.

Baileys Digest Plus contains short chain fructo-oligaccharides, which are made up of fructose and glucose. These can only be broken down by the good bacteria. Digest Plus acts as a food source for the good bacteria and allows the to flourish.

This supplement is designed to be fed as either a short-term remedy or on an on-going basis.

Maintaining a healthy efficient digestive tract enables optimum utilisation of feed, which means your horse is healthy and able to perform at his best.

Available in 1kg and 5kg tubs

Cost at around £14 for the 1kg and around £60 for the 5kg.
