ProBiotein® -
ProBiotein® is a proprietary blend additive made of yeast culture, 4 prebiotic
oligosaccharides, enzymes and protein isolates. The yeast in ProBiotein® is
cultured on a media of wheat, oats, barley malt and flax. This broadens the
amino acid balance of the ration. And, it is rich in biotin and other nutrients
to aid digestion.
Prebiotics -
Our diestary fibers are often called “prebiotics” because they preferentially
feed beneficial digestive system “probiotic” bacteria. In so doing, the beneficial
bacteria flourish, improving feed utilization and efficiency up to 25%, while
“competitively excluding” pathogenic bacteria which can cause illness. Our 4
classes of prebiotics help maintain good digestive health which in turn supports
your horse’s immune system response and overall health.
Enzymes -
ProBiotein® also includes 4 classes of digestive enzymes. The fibrolytic,
amylolytic, phospholytic and proteolytic enzymes in ProBiotein® are catalysts
that help your horse improve its digestion of fiber, starch, minerals, and protein.
Omega-3 -
EquiPride® and EquiLix® also contain flax, with its important Omega-3
that supports healthy joints, clear eyes and shiny coats. Oil from flax
is dense energy that is high in important fatty acid content. Omega-3 is
an essential fatty acid that’s often missing in animal diets. Flax is also
among the richest sources of lignans which help improve immune function.
Minerals
In addition to a proper complement of macro minerals, the trace minerals
zinc, manganese and copper are organically complexed for higher bioavailability.
And in EquiPride®, there’s ethyl alcohol that improves palatability, enhances
fiber digestion and adds another non starch energy source.
