Cavalor® Gastro 8 The Nutritional Tool for Gastric Ulcer Management and Prevention
Indication for Use:
Every equine practitioner appreciates the delicate nature of the equine gut. While issues related to the small and large intestine are well understood, gastric ulcers are surprisingly commonespecially in performance horses.
Various studies (post-mortem and gastroscopy) show that 7589% of horses in active training have gastric ulcers. The major cause is prolonged exposure of the squamous mucosa to gastric acid. Saliva is the horses only natural defense against this acid, and factors such as grain meals or long fasting periods reduce saliva production while increasing acid output. Intense exercise further increases gastric acid production, thoroughly bathing the stomach lining in acid.
Symptoms of gastric ulcers in horses may include:
- Drop in performance
- Sour attitude
- Poor hair coat
- Grinding teeth
- Picky eating habits
- Weight loss
How Cavalor® Gastro 8 Helps:
