The SPILLERSTM brand is showcasing a bright new bag for its gastric health favourite SPILLERS Ulca Fibre. It may be all change on the outside of the bag but it’s the same much-loved fibre inside.
Every horse owner should be aware of Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) because it isn’t just confined to high performing sports horses. Leisure horses can also be affected and could benefit from a feed specifically designed to help support horses prone to gastric ulcers following veterinary treatment.
Reduced forage intake and diets high in starch and sugar have been shown to increase the potential for ulcers. The splashing of gastric acid onto the lining of the non-glandular region of the stomach during exercise can also heighten the risk.
“Basing the diet on forage and restricting the amount of starch and sugar fed per day and per meal are key to reducing the risks of non-glandular ulcers,” said Sarah Nelson Product Manager at Mars Horsecare, home of the SPILLERS brand. “Choose feeds based on fibre and oil if your horse needs a high calorie feed.”
SPILLERS Ulca Fibre is high in quality protein, including the essential amino acid lysine, to support muscle development, topline and performance. The short-chopped alfalfa extends eating time and provides a natural buffer to stomach acid while the high oil content provides energy for condition and performance. With a full range of vitamins and minerals, it can be fed on its own at the fully recommended amount to ensure a balanced diet.
