NUTRI-GARD

Postbiotics are the beneficial compounds produced when probiotics ferment nutrients in the horse’s digestive system.

Prebiotics feed beneficial bacteria
Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria
Postbiotics are the beneficial by-products created during fermentation

These postbiotic compounds help support horse gut health, digestion, immune function, and nutrient absorption.

Postbiotics help support a healthy and balanced hindgut by promoting the production of beneficial compounds such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs). These compounds are absorbed and used as an energy source while helping maintain healthy digestion, nutrient absorption, and gut resilience in horses.

The postbiotic included in Foran Equine Nutri-Gard is designed to support normal digestive function and hindgut health.

Nutri-Gard is a digestive supplement for horses formulated to support:

• Healthy digestion and hindgut function
• Nutrient absorption
• Immune system support
• Performance and recovery
• Healthy gut microflora

Its advanced postbiotic formulation helps deliver beneficial compounds directly to the gut to support overall equine digestive health.

Horses are hindgut fermenters, meaning much of their digestion depends on beneficial microbes in the hindgut. Stress, travel, intense exercise, diet changes, and competition schedules can disrupt this balance and negatively affect digestion and overall health.

Supporting the hindgut microbiome is essential for:

• Efficient fibre digestion
• Nutrient absorption
• Immune function
• Maintaining condition and performance

The postbiotic included in Nutri-Gard may help:

• Support healthy hindgut microflora
• Promote digestive efficiency
• Improve fibre breakdown
• Support the intestinal barrier
• Limit excess acidity in the hindgut
• Support natural B-vitamin production

This helps maintain a healthier digestive environment and overall wellbeing.

Your horse may benefit from a digestive supplement like Nutri-Gard if they show signs such as:

• Weight loss or difficulty maintaining condition
• Poor coat quality or dull coat
• Digestive sensitivity
• Stress during travel or competition
• Reduced performance or recovery
• Changes in behaviour linked to discomfort
• Compromised immune function

Virtually any horse can benefit from supplementation with Nutri-Gard due to postbiotics’ strong correlation with gastrointestinal balance and healthy nutrient digestion. Some examples include:

• Horses prone to digestive issues
• During changes in feed or management
• Horses fed high levels of hard feed
• Older horses
• Horses that travel or compete regularly
• Anxious or easily stressed horses
• Horses recovering from an illness
